The 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games are now past the halfway point and heading toward the finish line. Despite relentless controversies over a lack of accommodation and poor operations since right before the opening—which have directly harmed athletes' schedules and conditions—the organizing committee of the Nagoya Asian Games has offered excuses while patting themselves on the back, claiming things have "greatly improved." SBS reporters Kim Taewon and Yu Byung-min, who have been covering the Aichi-Nagoya region on-site since before the opening of the Asian Games and closely reporting on the problems erupting everywhere, break down the overall situation so far. The 11th episode of Nagoya Check-in starts now.
