Oh sangeun retired as a coach. The reason was differences of opinion within the team on the issue of doubles combinations. Honestly it makes sense bc everyone wants to pair with Lin jonghoon for the Asian games bc if they win a gold medal they don’t have to do military enlistment
All the members of the national table tennis team (players, translators, physical fitness instructors, etc.) getting married during this two months of break before the us smash bc there was no time to get married and have a ceremony before 💀💀💀💀

@Hanisbito3 Pretty sure it’s because they’ve lost at two relatively bigger tournaments already (Doha worlds and then Hong Kong finals) so the coaching team wants to see if other pairs can do better which is why kuai man has been pairing with others. But we’ll see I guess.
tbh idk if playing doubles would be better at this point... The choice is prob their own (it’s just mixed in with thoughts about what’s best for the team as well). Their interviews make it seem like playing mixed doubles is more of their own decision (but it’s not 100% clear)
wcq/sys the type of players that even tho it’s prob more beneficial to drop mixed doubles now, they also think that the team made them who they are now and that the glory of the country is above all else so they’ll keep playing (and playing well) as long as the team needs
