South Korea women's football reached the quarterfinals as the runner-up of Group F in this tournament. In the quarterfinals, they completely overwhelmed Uzbekistan with a 6-3 victory, returning to the Asian Games semifinal stage for the first time in 8 years. South Korea won bronze medals for three consecutive games from 2010 Guangzhou to 2014 Incheon and 2018 Jakarta-Palembang, but they have never stepped onto the final stage. Therefore, if they win this semifinal against Japan, they will write a new history by reaching the final for the first time in Asian Games women's football history.

Having demonstrated overwhelming offensive power by exploding with 6 goals in the previous quarterfinal match, South Korea is determined to dominate the midfield centered around veteran Ji So-yun and break through Japan's solid organization with the scoring ability of their attacking line. Although it is an unavoidable confrontation with Japan, which boasts formidable strength as the host nation and the winner of the last Hangzhou tournament, attention is focused on whether South Korea can secure a ticket to the final along with a victory in the Korea-Japan match with the momentum and performance they have built up in this tournament.

The two, who have shown fantastic chemistry during major sports events for a long time and vividly delivered the excitement of thrilling matches to viewers, are expected to convey the tension and excitement of the scene through their solid and skillful broadcasting chemistry.
