'Olympic Weightlifting Legend' Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Jang Mi-ran encouraged the Korean national team, which is in the midst of the final training session at the Harbin Winter Asian Games in 2025, with a warm 'Coffee Tea' gift.
On the 20th, Vice Minister Jang visited major winter sports training sites such as the Pyeongchang Winter Training Center in Gangwon Province and met with athletes in preparation for the competition. Vice Minister Jang first visited winter sports training facilities, including cross-country skiing, to check the preparations for the competition and pray for a good performance at the competition. In addition to participating in the Harbin Asian Games, he also visited a training site for snow events that is focusing on training in cold weather. He then visited the Pyeongchang Winter Training Center and had lunch with the players, listened carefully to the on-site opinions to see if there was any lack of training and support for participation in the competition, and cheered the players with a coffee car he prepared himself. 'Your passion that will unfold on the white snow, Korea is with you!'The hearts of the people are with us' Let's go for the Korean team!The placard ' filled the heart of support. He also took commemorative photos with officials at the athlete's restaurant, who are in charge of the national team's meals, and encouraged them to work hard one by one.
The Harbin Winter Asian Games, which will be held for the first time in eight years, will be held from the 7th to the 14th of next month in Harbin, China, with 1,275 people from 34 countries participating, the most in the history of the Winter Asian Games. South Korea will send a total of 223 athletes (149 athletes and 74 executives) in six sports. South Korea ranked third overall after host Kazakhstan (32, silver 21, bronze 17) and Japan (13, silver 23, bronze 16) with 13 gold medals, 12 silver, and 13 bronze medals at the 7th Astana-Almaty Games in 2011, and ranked second overall after host Japan (27, silver 21, bronze 26) with 16 gold, 18 silver, and 16 bronze medals at the 8th Sapporo Games in 2017. The Korea Sports Council's expected overall ranking for this tournament is third to fourth. Expectations are high on short track, speed, and figure skating, which are traditional strong events. Short track speed skater Choi Min-jeong (Seongnam City Hall), Kim Ki-li (Seongnam City Hall), Park Ji-won (Seoul City Hall), speed skater Kim Min-sun (Uijeong City Hall), figure skater Cha Jun-hwan (Korea University), and snowboarder Lee Chae-woon (Surigo) are expected to compete in gold.

"The way we do our best to play the game will impress the Korean people." "I support you to pay attention to your health and perform your prepared performance without regret for the rest of the year."
