The South Korean women's national basketball team defeated Indonesia to advance to the Asian Games semifinals.

Led by coach Park Su-ho, South Korea secured a decisive 101-59 victory over Indonesia in the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games women's basketball quarterfinal match held at the Aichi International Arena in Nagoya, Japan, on the 24th. The semifinal opponent on the 25th will be the winner of the Mongolia-China quarterfinal match.

Earlier, South Korea advanced to the tournament as the top team in Group C with three consecutive wins in the group stage, and today's complete victory continued their undefeated streak. Ranked 14th by FIBA (International Basketball Federation), South Korea confirmed its overwhelming historical dominance over Indonesia, ranked 60th, with a perfect 6-0 record in all previous encounters.

South Korea has maintained an unprecedented record of reaching the semifinals in every edition of women's basketball at the Asian Games since the sport was introduced as an official event at the 1974 Tehran Games. This marks their first championship title in 12 years and their fifth attempt to win a gold medal overall. Following Nam Ja (CEO)'s victory after 12 years, the possibility of securing gold medals in both men's and women's events has also increased significantly.

South Korea dominated early by concentrating six three-point shots in the first quarter, taking a 28-18 lead, and comfortably finished the first half with a 52-30 score. Although they allowed a brief comeback attempt during the first three minutes of the third quarter due to a scoring slump, they quickly re-established their advantage with eight consecutive points in the final minutes, securing victory well ahead of schedule.

All 12 players included in the roster contributed to the scoring attack. Six players scored in double digits: Choi Yi-saem (16 points, 5 rebounds), Jin An (12 points, 6 assists), Lee So-hee (12 points, 5 rebounds), Jung Hyun (12 points), Heo Ye-eun (11 points, 8 assists), and Kang Lee-seul (11 points). Lee Hae-ran, who missed the final group stage match due to poor physical condition, played for approximately 13 minutes, recording 4 points and 4 rebounds to assess her game readiness.
