Heo Gyeong-hee is set to take to the court against Chae Ri Na! A big match in the semifinals featuring all the aces.

Ahead of the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, the semifinals of the 'Handball Cup'—a special project organized by the SBS football variety show 'Goal-Hitting Girls' in collaboration with the Korea Handball Federation and SK hynix—will be revealed.

In this match, attention is focused on the confrontation between 'Gucheokjangsin' coach Bae Min-hee and 'Top Girl Movement' coach Park Ha-yan, who have emerged as new rivals in the Handball Cup. The psychological warfare between the two began at the opening when coach Bae Min-hee provoked coach Park Ha-yan, who is five years her junior in handball, by asking, "Do you even know handball?" as a way to strike at her pride. As coach Park Ha-yan did not back down and responded, leading to a tense verbal battle, interest is mounting on the unavoidable head-to-head showdown between these two leaders who are seniors and juniors in the handball world.

The pride battle between the two team coaches will also lead to an intense tactical war. Gucheokjangsin's coach Bae Min-hee plans to maximize the power of the model squad, which overwhelms opponents with physicality, by pulling out the 'double pivot' card, which is rarely seen even in actual handball matches. In response, coach Park Ha-yan plans to catch the opponent off guard with Top Girl Movement's 'pivot eraser' tactic, which emphasizes speed. The plan is to tightly mark the opponent's pivot to block their movement. Expectations are high to see who will claim the ticket to the finals after the tactical battle between the coaches who have seen through each other's strategies.

Meanwhile, the individual title competition among the aces becomes even hotter. Jeong Ui-yeong of Gucheokjangsin and Kang Bo-ram of Top Girl Movement, who are currently competing for the top scorer title with a mere '1-goal difference,' are expected to engage in an even more intense goal hunt in this match. Additionally, against Top Girl's reliable goalkeeper 'Chae-ji-nya' Chae Ri Na, who blocks the goal with selfless fighting spirit, Gucheokjangsin is expected to counter by announcing the court appearance of the all-rounder 'Hulk' Heo Gyeong-hee, whom they had kept sealed in the goal. Attention is focused on which team will wear a smile of victory after the confrontation of the aces on the court.

The intense pride battle between the two teams for the final ticket to the finals can be watched on SBS 'Goal-Hitting Girls' this Wednesday at 9 PM.
