Once known by the nickname &#8220;Ppiyak-i,&#8221; she has matured into a dependable leader on the roster. Reporter Woo Jun-sung visited the national team&#8217;s training base.[Reporter] Shin Yubin still greets people with an easy smile, but her eyes sharpen the moment she watches a ball in play. Though she can still seem like the youngster, she has grown into one of the team&#8217;s core players. With 2005-born Kim Na-young and 2007-born Park Ga-hyun joining the squad, Shin now sits squarely in the middle of the five-woman lineup.Shin Yubin \/ Women&#8217;s National Table Tennis Team: &#8220;I&#8217;m starting to understand, bit by bit, how my older teammates felt and the responsibilities they carried. I&#8217;m studying hard to become as strong a player as they are.&#8221;As an older teammate, Shin&#8217;s go-to way of looking after the younger players is simple: treat them to good food.Park Ga-hyun \/ Women&#8217;s National Table Tennis Team: &#8220;Yubin is really great to us. Every time we come to the gym she asks if we want anything tasty and often buys us snacks.&#8221;The London World Championships carry extra meaning for Shin, who will lead the team as its ace. The squad has set its sights on winning a team medal\u2014the first for South Korea&#8217;s women&#8217;s team since the unified Korea team won bronze at the 2018 championships.Shin Yubin \/ Women&#8217;s National Table Tennis Team: &#8220;We still don&#8217;t have a World Championships team medal, and I really want to win one. It won&#8217;t be enough for just one player to perform well; several of us need to play at our best.&#8221;Meanwhile, men&#8217;s team standout Jang Woo-jin says the squad is determined to improve on the bronze they earned at the 2024 Busan event and reach the final this time.Jang Woo-jin \/ Men&#8217;s National Table Tennis Team: &#8220;The disappointment still lingers. Our first goal is, as I said earlier, to win the opening preliminary match. But this time we&#8217;re aiming for the final.&#8221;The team departs for London on the 28th. This is Woo Jun-sung for Yonhap News TV.[Video footage: Oh Eun-jae] [Video editing: Kim Do-i] [Graphics: Im Hye-bin] #TableTennis #WorldChampionships #London #ShinYubin #TeamEvent #JangWoojin #KimNayoung #ParkGahyun For Yonhap News TV story inquiries and tips: KakaoTalk\/Line jebo23.
