The national team secured all 6 World Championship doubles berths, including 2 where Shin Yu-bin collaborated with other players.
In the men’s doubles, Jang Woo-jin (Army Sports Corps)-Lim Jong-hoon pair and Lee Sang-soo-Cho Dae-seong (Samsung Life Insurance) pair will step on the world championship stage.
