The Korean men's and women's curling teams, which are only one step away from regaining the Asian Winter Games title for the first time in 18 years, have remembered their determination to win the championship at the same time with "chalk". On the 13th, the South Korean men's and women's curling teams defeated their opponents in the semifinals of the 2025 Harbin Asian Winter Games held at the Curling Arena in Pingfang District, Harbin, and entered the finals.

The determination of the men's and women's curling teams to win the championship at the same time

At 9 a.m. Beijing time on the 14th, the South Korean men's curling team will first play the final against the "favorite to win the championship" Philippine team from the Swiss team. At 1 p.m., the South Korean women's curling team will compete with the "home team" China for the championship. Neither the Korean men's and women's curling teams won gold medals after the 2007 Asian Winter Games in Changchun. If both teams can win the championship in this tournament, it will be the first time in 18 years that they will "win the championship together".

The Korean men's curling team and the Korean women's curling team supported each other's gold medals at the Asian Winter Games more than anyone else. The "Republic of Korea" locker room in the stadium they used together was written with the words "Determined to win the championship". The men's team wrote on the blackboard with blue chalk the determination to "win the gold~", and the women's team expressed the will of "the gold medal is ours (ours)" in red chalk.

In the semi-finals of the curling of this year's Asian Winter Games, which were held at the same time on the same day, the Korean women's team and the men's team were held in lane C and lane D next to it, respectively. Kim Eun-ji, the centerpiece of the Korean women's team, said, "The boys seem to be shaking. We were also a little nervous because it was a semi-final, joking with each other and trying to ease the tension. The women's team also issued a mischievous "threat" to the men's team that "if you lose, you will die", and strengthened the will to win the championship at the same time.

Kim Eun-ji also joked: "(Stone) whoosh ~ (mistakes passed) is 10,000 won, and other mistakes are also 10,000 won." Lee Jae-bum of the men's team said, "My sisters took good care of us. We will also take care of our sisters and 'serve' them. Lee Jae-bum expressed his gratitude and said, "My sisters also accepted the prank we did together. Psychologically, 'you can do it, you can do it well,' and they've always supported us. ”
