WTT Star Contender Lanzhou 2023, 10/2-8

“Thank you very much to everyone in Lanzhou for your support and at the Asian Games. Despite being in an unfamiliar environment at the Asian Games, each and every athlete helped each other and thanks to their cooperation, they were able to win a team silver medal and a singles silver medal. The players usually compete as rivals, but they always practiced together, picked up the ball for me, and cheered me on until the end, whether it was in team games or singles. Thanks to the cooperation of the four of us, it was an unforgettable tournament. 

However, I went into the Lanzhou tournament without feeling the aftereffects of that experience, and there were parts of me that struggled to adapt, especially in singles, and I must reflect on both the results and the content. 

I knew from the beginning that it would be this schedule, and I was determined to participate and I made the choice myself, so the results at the Asian Games and Lanzhou results are all based on my own ability. 

I think - No matter what you say, the past will not change. However, I felt that this experience would make me even stronger and allow me to grow. No matter what the reason, no matter what happens, the winner wins in the end. That’s strength. 

That's why there is still so much work to do. I'm sure there will be many painful experiences in the future, but I want to learn from each experience, understand myself at that time, and do my best to become a more fulfilled person by Paris. 

My thoughts - The tournaments will continue in Oman, Turkey, and Frankfurt, but first of all, don't lose sight of yourself and try not to repeat these mistakes. I'll do my best. 

It's been a while since I wrote a long post, but thank you to everyone who read this far. I don't usually post much, and I get confused about what to post, so I rarely post, but I'd be happy if you could wait patiently. 

I think this Asian Games was an opportunity for many people to learn about us. Even in Lanzhou, many people called my name and cheered me on. I am truly grateful and I am filled with joy. We will continue to do our best to convey the joy of table tennis to everyone who supports us and to repay them with results, so we appreciate your continued support. 

Make a choice you won't regret. Cherish every day.”
