Launch a new round of challenges to the three main players over the years, Jang Woo-jin, Jeong Young-sik and Lee Sang-so.
The South Korean table tennis team just conducted the selection of the national team in early January, and selected the main team lineup of the national team through a brutal intra-team competition, in which all the main players of the Korean table tennis team were gathered in addition to the top 20 singles world rankings, Jang Woo-jin, Jung Young-sik, Lee Sang-so, Tian Jixi and Seo Hyo-won. In the end, the young young player Zhao Dacheng won the first place in the men's team selection competition, and the women's team selection championship belonged to Li Shiwen.

The two leading figures of the Korean women's team at this Korean Championship, Tian Zhixi and Shin Yubin, did not participate. Because of the high ranking in the world, Tian Zhixi gave up the Korean selection tournament and tournament, coupled with his own perennial injuries, he used this time to recuperate and adjust, and concentrated on preparing for the World Table Tennis Championships and the Asian Games training. Shen Yubin, however, has a wrist fatigue fracture, has been determined to recover from this year's injury, and basically lost the World Table Tennis Championships and the Asian Games, unless there is a miracle.
