The Korean handball national team failed to win a medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics, and both the men's and women's teams fell short of expectations. The Korea Handball Association abolished the foreign coach system and appointed Lee Kyuchung, who led the team to an Asian Games gold medal in the past, as the head coach of the women's team, and Jo Young-shin as the head coach of the men's team. They are pinning their hopes on the strategic leadership of domestic coaches. Both the men's and women's teams aim to win at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games. In particular, the women's team will play its last match against Japan in the final, aiming to reclaim the top spot after eight years.
