Overseas network on January 5, less than 30 days before the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics. Yonhap News Agency said on the 5th that the South Korean delegation said on the same day that it would do its best to participate in the Beijing Winter Olympics and showed great confidence.

The Korean Sports Association said in December 2021 that the South Korean delegation had set a goal of "winning 1 or 2 gold medals and ranking in the top 15 overall" at the Beijing East Olympics. South Korean media said that since the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville, the South Korean delegation has won more than 2 gold medals in each session. If the Winter Olympics end up in 15th place, it would be the worst result of the South Korean delegation since the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary. But South Korean players still haven't lost confidence in such a vision.

Women's speed skater Kim Bo Rin said that everyone will set individual goals, and the goals set by the Korean Sports Association do not have much significance for individual athletes. Kim Sun-young, a women's curler, said the prediction of the Korean Sports Association did not mean that they could not get the medal, but instead reduced the pressure and would concentrate on the medal. Kim Min-seok, a long-distance middle- and long-distance master in men's speed skating, also said that after participating in the World Cup, it was isolated, so the state of the players has declined, and if they are well prepared in the remaining time, they can achieve excellent results.
