Water is gushing out from under the washbasin, leaving the bathroom floor completely flooded.
This is the condition of the local accommodation filmed by a member of the South Korean men's basketball national team competing in the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games.
Byun Jun-hyung, a member of the men's basketball national team, posted a video on social media today (September 11) showing the bathroom of the team's accommodation.
The video shows water leaking from beneath the sink, leaving the bathroom floor soaking wet.
Along with the video, Byun wrote "Please help me," conveying the uncomfortable and difficult situation at the lodging.
As this video was made public, concerns are being raised over the poor conditions of the national team's accommodation.
Initially, an athletes' village was planned to be established around the Port of Nagoya for this Asian Games, but the plan was scrapped due to the burden of construction costs.
Consequently, athletes and officials from various countries are staying separately in hotels, cruise ships, and temporary lodging facilities.
Our men's basketball national team is using container-style temporary lodgings arranged by the competition's organizing committee.
However, criticisms have continued that the beds and shower facilities are too cramped for the basketball players, many of whom are tall.
Recently, as heavy rain battered Nagoya, hundreds of athletes and officials staying in temporary accommodations had to be temporarily evacuated.
Leakage damage has also occurred, with rainwater dripping from the roofs of some Asian Games stadiums, adding to the concerns.
