[Taipei (Taiwan) = Sports Chosun Reporter Park Sang-kyung] Two out of six teams will get a ticket to Tokyo.

Taiwan, which will face off in the first edition of Group B in the opening round of the 2024 WBSC Premier 12, is considered a must-see opponent for Ryu Joong-il. While Japan is considered the leading candidate in terms of power, most expect South Korea and Taiwan to compete for the second place. As it is the first game of the tournament for Ryu Joong-il, he must get a good result in the match against Taiwan to continue his momentum. Taiwan is also vowing to win the match against Korea at home.

The first training session of the national team, which took place at Taipei's Tianmu Stadium on the 9th, showed the atmosphere of the two countries.
