Departing from the Jincheon National Training Center at dawn and gathering at Incheon International Airport, 122 members of the main delegation, including badminton world number one An Se-young, cheered together to boost their resolve as they headed for the venue.

Korean table tennis star Shin Yubin and badminton men's doubles world number one Seo Seung-jae served as the flag bearers for departure, taking the lead of the delegation.

[Seo Seung-jae / National Badminton Team: I think it is an honor to serve as the flag bearer representative for the South Korean delegation main body.]

[Shin Yubin / National Table Tennis Team: I will take responsibility and work hard to achieve good results.]

Shin Yubin, who drew attention even in China three years ago with her podium ceremony at her first Asian Games, promised to perform a happy ceremony from the highest spot once again this time.

[Shin Yubin / National Table Tennis Team: I want to win medals in all events. After winning, I'll quickly think of a (ceremony) and show a good performance.]

The delegation arrived in Nagoya and took their first steps into the venue amid the cheers of local Korean residents.

[Lee Sang-hyun / Chef de Mission of the South Korean Delegation: Our delegation will approach this with a determined resolve to win so that our Taegeukgi can flutter even more in Nagoya.]

[Ryu Eun-hee / National Handball Team: We will write and show a good story, so we hope the viewers can come up with the title for it.]

While the athletes completed their check-in procedures for the athletes' village, only the delegation officials attended the village entry ceremony, raising the Taegeukgi amidst a welcome from organizing committee officials to solidify their determination.

The sprint of the Taegeuk warriors has officially begun to maintain the overall 3rd place ranking for the third consecutive time and reap the fruits of the sweat they have shed so far.
