It was followed by Chinese ace Sun Yingxia after Im Jong-hoon took a long-armed selfie mode with Samsung Z Flip 6. Chinese and inter-Korean table tennis aces left the best moments of their lives together with happy selfies. It was a rather rigid pose, but Kim Geum-yong and Lee Jung-sik were also willing to take selfies.

It was a moment when the history of inter-Korean table tennis, sports that opened the way for peace, and inter-Korean MZ generation, which was followed by Samsung Phone, overlapped. Paris = Reporter Jeon Young-ji sky4us@sportschosun.com
