With two days to go until the opening of the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, reporter Kim Taewon headed to Japan to "check in" on various sites. Last week, Nagoya was paralyzed by record-breaking torrential rains, prompting an emergency evacuation of the athletic delegation. Amid howling winds and rain right upon arrival, he arrived at the Main Media Center (MMC) after many twists and turns. There, he met a veteran reporter covering their fourth Asian Games, who shared shocking stories about Nagoya. We captured the tumultuous first day of "check-in" in a video. Please leave your questions in the comments for "Nagoya Check-in," which will be bringing you diverse stories from the local scene in Japan until the closing ceremony! We will do our best to check it out!
