The women's national handball team, which lost to Japan in the final of the previous Hangzhou Asian Games, has expressed its determination to exact revenge on Japanese soil this time.

Having claimed the top spot 7 times out of the past 9 Asian Games, the women's national team had to bow their heads 3 years ago in Hangzhou after suffering a crushing 10-goal defeat against Japan in the final.

They have vowed to make a fiery comeback in Nagoya.

[Ryu Eun-hee / Women's National Handball Team: It was really hard. Honestly, I was in such a bad emotional state back then that I couldn't even do an interview. I want to pay them back when we go there this time.]

Seven teams will compete in a full league format, with the final match against Japan effectively serving as the championship game.

Meanwhile, the men's national team, which has won the tournament 6 times historically but failed to even reach the semifinals for the first time in Hangzhou, is aiming to restore its honor.
