Korean Basketball Teams Win Double Gold at 2026 Asian Games and Appear on 'Knowing Bros'

South Korean basketball teams are currently generating significant buzz after both the men's and women's teams secured gold medals at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games. This marks a historic achievement, as it is the first time in 12 years that both teams have won gold simultaneously. The victorious athletes are now scheduled to appear on the JTBC variety show 'Knowing Bros' to share their experiences and behind-the-scenes stories from the games.

The 'Knowing Bros' episode, airing on October 10th, will feature five key players from both national teams: Kang Lee-seul, Lee So-hee, Byeon Jun-hyeong, Lee Woo-seok, and Lee Jeong-hyeon. The women's team defeated Japan in the final, with Lee So-hee notably averaging 17.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 3.3 assists. The men's team also triumphed over Japan, overcoming the disappointment of their 7th-place finish at the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games.

Bloggers are particularly anticipating the reunion between the current national team players and basketball veteran Seo Jang-hoon on 'Knowing Bros'. Seo Jang-hoon, who previously won one gold and two silver medals at the Asian Games, is reportedly not receiving a pension, adding an interesting layer to the upcoming interaction with his successors.
