On the 30th, Jang Woo-jin and Lim Jong-hoon won the men's doubles quarterfinal match at the tournament held at the Gongshu Canal Sports Park Gymnasium in Hangzhou, China, defeating the Indian pair Manushi Shah and Manav Thakkar with a game score of 3-2 (11-8 7-11 12-10 6-11 11-9) to confirm their medal.

In Asian Games table tennis, both semifinal losers are awarded bronze medals without a third-place playoff. The Lim Jong-hoon and Jang Woo-jin pair will face the winner of the match between Liang Jingkun-Lin Gaoyuan and Zhuang Zhiwen-Lin Yunlu in the semifinals on the 1st.

Previously, the Lim Jong-hoon and Jang Woo-jin duo, Korea's top doubles team, finished as runners-up in men's doubles at the 2021 World Championships in Houston and the 2023 World Championships in Durban, achieving second place consecutively.
