On the 5th, Beijing time, the South Korean Ice Corps conducted its first local training in Harbin, the decisive battle. "Speed Skating Queen" Kim Min-sun and other 19 speed skating national representatives conducted official training for the 2025 Harbin Asian Winter Games at the speed skating hall of the Heilongjiang Ice Training Center in Harbin on the 5th.

On the morning of the 5th, Kim Min-sun, the first sister of the Korean speed skating team, was conducting formal training at the speed skating hall of the Heilongjiang Ice Training Center

There were 20 players in this competition, but 19 people participated in the training. Because the Korean speed skating women's team Kim Kyung-ju has not yet entered China. An official from the Korea Ice Sports Association said, "Kim Kyung-ju postponed his membership due to passport renewal. Kim Kyung-joo will go to China on the 5th and start training on the 6th.

On that day, the Korean national speed skating team focused on adapting to the ice quality. Sprint training on both straight and curved tracks by short-distance professionals such as Kim Min-sun and Kim Jun confirmed the strength of the ice. Long-distance main players Lee Seung-hoon and Jung Jae-won mainly check their physical condition in the field.

Speed skating is South Korea's second most gold-winning sport after short track speed skating. The Korean Ice Corps won six gold medals at the previous Sapporo 2017 Asian Winter Games, achieving a better result than the short track speed skating team (five gold medals) and leading the way to the second place in the medal table of this year's Asian Winter Games.

In Harbin, the Korean speed skating team set its goal a little low, hoping to win 2~3 gold medals. Women's 500m runner Kim Min-sun and men's 500m runner Kim Jun-ho are strong contenders for the gold medal. The two runners will also challenge for the championship in the 1000m race. Jung Jae-won and veteran Lee Seung-hoon will challenge for a medal in the men's team pursuit.

On the morning of the 5th, Kim Joo-ho, Lee Na-hyun and other South Korean speed skating team players cooperated in the official training held in the speed skating hall of the Heilongjiang Ice Training Center.

Winter Olympic medalists Cha Min-kyu and Kim Tae-yoon are considered dark horses. The performance of the new generation of players such as Liang Haojun, Gu Kyung-min, and Lee Na-hyun is also worth looking forward to. This year's Asian Winter Games will not hold a mass start event with the strength of Korean athletes. Because the organizing committee of the competition did not list the official Winter Olympics competition event as an official event, it was replaced by the unfamiliar 100-meter race. Speed skating in the 100m is an unfamiliar event that is not held at the Winter Olympics and the International Skating Union (ISU) World Cup. South Korean media believe that this is a favorable setting for Chinese runners with good starting ability. Lee Seung-hoon's men's 10,000m, which won the gold medal at the Sapporo Asian Winter Games, will not be held at this Asian Winter Games. Korean speed skaters will compete for medals from the 8th. The first day will see the men's and women's 100m and 1500m races.
