"Save Us," Water Leaking Everywhere... Is This an Asian Games Accommodation?

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

This is what the local accommodation looked like, captured by a player from the South Korean men's national basketball team competing in the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games.

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

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

Along with the video, Byun left a caption saying "Save us," sharing the inconvenient conditions of the accommodation.

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

Initially, an athletes' village was planned to be established around the Port of Nagoya for this year's Asian Games, but the plan was withdrawn due to the burden of construction costs and other reasons.

As a result, athletes and officials from various countries are staying dispersed across hotels, cruise ships, and temporary lodging facilities.

Our men's national basketball team is staying in a container-style temporary accommodation arranged by the organizing committee.

However, criticisms have persisted that the beds and shower facilities are too cramped for the basketball team members, many of whom are tall.

Recently, as heavy rain battered Nagoya, hundreds of athletes and officials staying in temporary lodgings had to be temporarily evacuated.

Leaks have even been reported from the roofs of some Asian Games stadiums, further heightening concerns.
