As the South Korean delegation at the 2026 Aichi·Nagoya (Japan) Asian Games continues to deliver medal news day after day, there are still must-watch matches scheduled throughout the Chuseok holiday—the nation's largest traditional festival when families gather.

First, on the 24th, when the Chuseok holiday begins, Yeo Seo-jeong, daughter of gymnastics legend Yeo Hong-chul and South Korea's first female artistic gymnast to win an Olympic medal, will compete in her specialty event, vault, for gold. Having already claimed gold in this event at the 2018 Jakarta·Palembang (Indonesia) Games, she aims to reclaim the top spot at her second Asian Games eight years later. She advanced to the finals as the overall leader after placing first in the preliminary round on the 22nd. The women's vault final is scheduled for this afternoon at 5:55 p.m.

On Chuseok itself, the 25th, the women's épée team fencing final is set for 7:20 p.m. Matches from the round of 16 through the final will be held sequentially starting that morning. Notably, the women's épée national team, ranked first in the world in team competition, is a strong contender for gold at this tournament. While attention focuses on whether star fencer Song Se-ra can secure a double crown by winning both individual and team events, Yang Seung-hye—already drawing international attention for her striking appearance—is also set to compete in the team event, further intensifying public interest.

The men's football quarterfinal against Vietnam and the women's football quarterfinal against Uzbekistan will both kick off simultaneously at 7:30 p.m. The men's team aims for a fourth consecutive Asian Games title, while the women's team seeks not only their first medal in eight years but also to surpass their previous best—a bronze—and achieve an even higher result. Originally, swimmer Kim Woo-min was scheduled to challenge for gold in his specialty event, the men's 400m freestyle, on this day; however, due to a severe shoulder injury, his participation remains uncertain, leaving fans disappointed.

On the following day, the 26th, the men's sabre fencing team, led by Oh Sang-wook and Do Kyung-dong, will attempt to secure their fourth consecutive Asian Games team title. The final match is scheduled for 6:20 p.m. Also on this day, the women's basketball final—marking a bid for gold after a 12-year absence from the Asian Games—is set to take place. Additionally, the table tennis mixed doubles final featuring Shin Yu-bin and Im Jong-hoon will be held at 7:30 p.m.

On the last day of the holiday, the 27th, the baseball final—where the South Korean national team has a high chance to challenge for its fifth consecutive title—is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. Ryu Ji-hyun, head coach of the baseball team, pledged to deliver "joyful news on the last day of the Chuseok holiday" and vowed to win gold. Later that same evening at 8:15 p.m., high jumper Woo Sang-hyuk will prepare to soar higher than any other athlete in Asia.
