Advance to the semifinals of the Men's Table Tennis World Championships with 'four consecutive medals'

They beat Denmark 3-1 in the team quarterfinals and will compete against China, the world's strongest team, for the finals today.

Lim Jong-hoon of the Korean men's table tennis team clenches his fist after winning a point in the team quarterfinals of the World Championships against Denmark on the 23rd. Lim Jong-hoon, who played the first and fourth singles matches of the day, won both, leading Korea to a 3-1 victory.

Korean men's table tennis advanced to the semifinals of the World Championships and succeeded in winning a medal for the fourth time in a row. Korea will compete with the world's strongest team, China, to advance to the finals.

Korea defeated Denmark with a match score of 3-1 in the men's team quarterfinals of the 2024 International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) World Championships held at BEXCO, Busan on the 23rd. With this, Korea, which secured the bronze medal, reached the podium at the World Championships for the fourth time in a row.

This tournament does not hold a separate third-place match, but bronze medals are awarded to both countries that lost in the semifinals.

Korea will play the semifinals of the men's team event against world No. 1 China at 1 p.m. on the 24th. The last time Korean men's table tennis reached the finals of a team event at the World Championships was in Guangzhou in 2008, when they took second place. China, which is challenging its 11th consecutive championship, is an ‘absolute powerhouse’ that needs no explanation.

The world's No. 1 to 5 singles players, including world No. 1 Fan Zhendong, are all Chinese players. China has maintained its position at the top of the world for over 20 years since the 2001 Osaka Games.

Korea lost to China with a match score of 0-3 in the men's team finals of last year's Hangzhou Asian Games. It was such a complete defeat that Lim Jong-hoon could only win one set against China's Wang Chu-qin.

Korea, ranked 5th in the world in the men's team event, is determined to take on the 'Great Wall' of China at this World Championships with the support of its home fans. Jang Woo-jin (14th), who has the highest singles world ranking among the Korean national team, said, “Because it is played in Korea, I will take advantage of the home stadium to raise the atmosphere a lot.”

Men's national team coach Joo Se-hyuk also said, "We've always been defeated, but I'm looking forward to this time. Our players are in good condition right now and we have support from our home fans, so I want to have a great game." This is the first time that the Table Tennis World Championships are being held in Korea.
