The Korean women's table tennis team won a bronze medal by losing to Japan with a match score of 1-3 in the semifinals of the table tennis women's team event at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games held at the Gungsu Canal Sports Park Gymnasium in Hangzhou, China on the 25th.

This is the first international all-around medal won by Shin Yu-bin, who competed in the Asian Games for the first time.

However, Shin Yu-bin, whom she met in the joint coverage area (mixed zone), seemed dissatisfied with the color of her medal.

Shin Yu-bin, with tears in her slightly bloodshot eyes, said, “I’m sorry.

“I want to prepare well again and have a good match (in the individual competition),” he repeated.

Korea has been falling behind Japanese players in skill for the past several years, so it is not surprising that they lost that day.

However, Shin Yu-bin did his part as an ace. It's definitely a shame that we couldn't do it.

Shin Yu-bin was responsible for the 1st and 4th singles matches that day, and lost both.

Losing to Miu Hirano, who had previously shown an advantage in the 4th singles match, was especially painful.

Korea also had to face a difficult match in the quarterfinals against Hong Kong as Shin Yu-bin lost in the first singles match.

Shin Yu-bin has carried the burden of her ace since the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, which was her first international all-around competition.

In table tennis team competitions, it is common for young players, no matter how outstanding their skills are, to be assigned to 3-singles, which is less burdensome than 1- and 2-singles and requires them to play only one game.

15-year-old Harimoto Miwa, who is receiving a lot of attention in Japan and is called a 'prodigy', also competed in 3 singles on this day.

Shin Yu-bin carried a heavy burden too early.

However, among Korean players in their 30s in the age range of Jeon Ji-hee (Mirae Asset Securities), Seo Hyo-won (Korea Racing Association), and Shin Yu-bin, there is no player with the skills to play as the national team's ace.

In the end, this burden is Shin Yu-bin's responsibility to bear alone.

After losing to Japan, Shin Yu-bin was said to have repeatedly lowered her head to Jeon Ji-hee and Seo Hyo-won as she packed up her belongings on the bench and left the stadium, saying, "I'm sorry to my sisters."

Shin Yu-bin said in front of reporters, "This is my first Asian Games, and I am so grateful to my sisters who allowed me to win a medal with them."

Shin Yu-bin's challenge in Hangzhou is not over yet.

She will be in the hunt for medals in all events, including singles, women's singles, and mixed doubles, with individual competitions continuing from the 27th.

Jeon Ji-hee, who earned Korea's only one win with her come-from-behind victory over Hirano in the second singles, wrapped around Shin Yu-bin.

Jeon Ji-hee said, "Shin Yu-bin's role as an ace will be difficult for anyone on our team, including me, to play.

She may not be as good as Yu-bin."

She went on to say, "There is no need for Yubin to be too sad (ahead of her individual exhibition).

She just needs to prepare better for her individual competition and do her best."
