The Korean Judo team faced a crisis at the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games, recording its lowest ever gold medal count of one. However, with promising young athletes growing into world-class competitors, the team aims for three or more gold medals at the upcoming Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games. Kim Min-jong, Lee Jun-hwan, Lee Hyun-ji, and Huh Mi-mi are considered top contenders, and there are high expectations that they will restore Judo's status as a prestigious sport amidst fierce competition with Japan.
