Junior player Park Ga-hyun (Korean Air) has secured the final spot in the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games national team.
The Korea Table Tennis Association held the second round of the selection tournament for the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games and the Asian Table Tennis Championships at Jin Cheon-guk-ga (CEO) Athletes’ Village on the 29th.
The participants in the selection tournament on this day included players from the first division of the national team, excluding those who advanced to the first round of the 20th and those who were automatically selected and competed for the final spot from Nam Eun (CEO).
In the women’s division, Park Ga-hyun passed the final hurdle. After beating Yoo Ye-rin (POSCO International) 3-0 in the quarterfinals, Park defeated Yoo Si-woo (Hwaseong City Corporation) 3-0 in the semifinals to reach the finals.
On the other hand, Lee Da-eun defeated Kim Seo-yoon (Mirae Asset Securities), a first-round qualifier, 3-1 in the quarterfinals. In the semi-finals, Lee defeated Lee Si-on (Korea Table Tennis Association) in a closely contested match that lasted the full five games, winning 3-2 to advance to the final.
In the final, Park Ga-hyun defeated Lee Da-eun 3–1 to claim the championship. Park was selected as a member of the Asian Games national team alongside Shin Yu-bin (Korean Air), Ju Cheon-hee (Samsung Life), Kim Na-young (POSCO International) and Lee Eun-hye (Korean Air).
Still a junior player, Park Ga-hyun will once again challenge herself on a senior international major stage after competing at the World Table Tennis Championships in London.
Runner-up Lee Da-eun also earned the national team jersey. Due to Ju Cheon-hee, a naturalized player from the Asian Games team, not meeting the qualification criteria for the Asian Championships, an additional representative for the women’s division was selected for the Asian Championships. Lee Da-eun, who finished second in the tournament, became that representative.
In the men’s category, Park Gyu-hyun emerged as the overall winner. Park defeated Jang Han-jae (Korea Army), a first-round qualifier, 3–2 in the quarterfinals, then crushed Kang Dong-soo (Samsung Life) 3–0 in the semifinals to reach the finals.
On the other hand, Im Yu-no (Korea Army) defeated Kim Jang-won (Seah) 3-0 to advance to the semifinals. He then defeated Kim Min-hyeok (Korea Water Resources Corporation) 3-1 to secure his spot in the final. In the final, Park Gyu-hyun defeated Im Yu-no 3–1 to claim the championship.
With this win, Park Gyu-hyun joins already confirmed representatives Jang Woo-jin (Seah), Im Jong-hoon, Ahn Jae-hyun and Oh Jun-seong (all from Korea Exchange) for the Asian Games and Asian Championships national team.
This completes the roster for the South Korean table tennis team, which will compete in the 20th Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, in September and the 2026 Asian Table Tennis Championships in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, in October.
