As to the results of the team event, Kim Jae Hyok said, “Competition requires techniques and tactics. But the most essential thing is unity of all team members in mind.” The team event revealed the lack of trust and encouragement between team members, he added.
The winners of the male doubles were Kim Yong Won and Kim Kwang Min and those of the female doubles Kim Hye Yong and Jong Song Hui.
