He added, "We are working hard to catch up, but I felt that we need to train better using more excellent methods. I realized that there is a lot of work the association needs to do going forward."

Following this, Jeong (Chairman) stated, "Whether it is gold, silver, or bronze, participating in the Asian Games itself is a great honor and something that will help their future, so we will continue to support them."
