"Please Help Me" Water Leaking Everywhere… Is This an Asian Games Accommodation?

Water is gushing out from underneath the washbasin, leaving the bathroom floor completely flooded.

This footage of local accommodation was filmed by a member of the South Korean men's national basketball team competing in the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games.

Byeon Jun-hyung, a member of the men's national basketball team, posted a video of the team's accommodation bathroom on his social media today (September 11).

The video shows water leaking from beneath the sink, soaking the bathroom floor.

Along with the video, Byeon left a caption reading, "Please help me," conveying the inconvenient living conditions at the accommodation.

Following the release of the video, concerns are being raised over the poor conditions of the national team's accommodation.

Initially, the organizing committee planned to build an athletes' village around the Port of Nagoya for this Asian Games, but the plan was canceled due to the burden of construction costs.

As a result, athletes and officials from various countries are staying in a mix of hotels, cruise ships, and temporary lodging facilities.

The South Korean men's basketball team is using container-style temporary housing 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 lodgings had to temporarily evacuate.

Concerns are further mounting as roof leaks have even occurred at some Asian Games venues.
