'Youngest On Top' Oh Jun-sung (18, Mirae Asset Securities, world No. 34) who was born in 2006 beat Wang Chu-chin to advance to the semifinals of the Asian Championship.

Oh Jun-sung beat Wang Chu-chin 3-1 (11-8, 2-11, 11-8, 11-6, 11-6) in the quarterfinals of the men's singles at the Asian Championships at the Astana Birein Arena in Kazakhstan on the 12th (Korea time). He shook Wang Chu-chin with a strong counterattack on a stable defense. After catching one game, he gave up two games to 2-11, but after that, he won a thrilling victory by catching 3-4 games. Wang Chu-chin, who is ranked No. 1 in the world, is the strongest man who no one doubted winning this tournament. The panicked Wang Chu-chin's misdeeds continued and he self-destructed.

Oh Jun-sung turned North Korea's inclusion, which was also a opponent in the round of 16, to 3-1 (11-4, 12-10, 8-11, 11-9) and became the biggest surprise of the tournament with a brilliant performance in the quarterfinals.

It's the biggest surprise, but in a way, it's a foreshadowed event. Oh Jun-sung, who was born in 2006, is a silver medalist in the men's team event at the London Olympics, and Oh Sang, the first poem of Korea's Sheikhhender, is the second generation of Mirae Asset Securities. He is the youngest member of the national team, but he is already a Korean champion. He set the record for the youngest ever win in men's singles at the overall championship last year, and swept the men's singles at the end of this year's championship and the presidential flag.

As a member of the national team, he also showed his presence with his brothers at the Pyeongchang Asian Championship and Hangzhou Asian Games last year.



Oh Jun-sung's opponent in the semifinals is "Japan's ace" Tomokazu Harimoto. Harimoto, who is ranked ninth in the world, is as strong as Wang Chu-chin, who is a fierce opponent of fast attacks. Oh Jun-sung faced off in the round of 16 of the WTT Champions held in Incheon this year and lost after a close game of full games. But sports are momentum. Fans are paying keen attention to whether Oh Jun-sung, who caught Wang Chu-chin, will be able to cause another accident. The semifinals and finals of the men's singles will be held on the 13th, the last day of the competition.
