[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Dong-hyun] The South Korean women's volleyball team challenged for their second-ever Olympic medal but unfortunately fell short.

On the morning of the 8th, at the Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan, during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics bronze medal match, the South Korean women's volleyball team lost to Serbia with a set score of 0-3 (18-25, 15-25, 15-25).

With the women's volleyball team failing to secure a medal, the South Korean delegation concluded the Tokyo Olympics with 6 gold medals, 4 silver medals, and 10 bronze medals.
