  1. Hi Table tennis fan
    Great to see a little info from Korean TT as well, so thank you very much for this article :-)

    Do you know where I can find more detailed results from the recent Korean Championships (https://bbs.hupu.com/20965857.html) as well?

    1. Hi, Stef,

      You can find the detailed results from KTTA website which I have posted the link in the article or click the link below.
      http://koreatta.sports.or.kr/servlets/org/front/board/action/board?board=notice

      The result will be updated daily in no.585 post(24 Jan) on KTTA website. It is in Korean but the numbers correspond to the players are the same as the list shown above. You should find it easier to understand the detailed results with the help of this blog and google translate.

      I hope you will find this useful.

    2. Hi Table Tennis Fan

      Thanks a lot for your help, but I was actually thinking about the Korean National Championships, which were held last month (Dec 22-27)?

      I tried looking for results at the KTTA website using Google translate, but I wasn't able to find any, so I was hoping that you might be able to help? :-)

      Sorry about the confusion - and thank you once again for making this great blog.

      Kind regards
      Stef

    3. Hi Stef,

      I am sorry that I have misunderstood your previous question. There is a link to the results of the Korean National Championships and I will inbox you in table tennis daily since it is not easy to insert a clickable link in the comment box here.

      Regards,
      Table Tennis Fan
