Kim Na-hyun, who was born in 2009, and Lim Soo-yeon, who was born in 2008, ranked first in women's doubles at the 2025 junior national team competition held at an indoor court in Sunchang County, North Jeolla Province. They will wear the national flag and participate in international competitions.
First of all, they will participate in the Korea-China-Japan Junior Championship, which will take place in Inner Mongolia, China from August 23 to 29. They will also participate in an international competition to be held in India in January next year as doubles winners.
In fact, Kim Na-hyun and Lim Soo-yeon joined as doubles partners for the first time in a long time ahead of this year's event. They swept the competition when they were at Jeomchon Jungang Elementary School in Mungyeong, North Gyeongsang Province, but worked with other partners when they were in middle school, and reunited after four years.
"As I became a senior in elementary school, I think I won almost all competitions five to six times a year with Su-yeon," Kim Na-hyun said. Lim Soo-yeon said, "However, when I was in middle school, my sister and I did not compete in doubles because other players had to perform."
Then, they joined forces ahead of the junior national team selection match and stood tall as the strongest duo. An official from the association hinted, "Im Soo-yeon is a second grader in high school, but she has as much skills as a third grader."
Lim started playing soft tennis even before she entered elementary school. "I started playing soft tennis when I was in kindergarten, too," Lim recalled. As she caught the racket earlier than her peers, she showed off her outstanding sense of play. "Su-yeon knows where the opponent will hit and plays with ease, and she seems to be a talented genius," Kim Na-hyun said with envy.
Kim Na-hyun came across soft tennis at an accidental opportunity. "When I was in the second grade of elementary school, an older sister I knew carried pork cutlets wrapped in both hands," Kim Na-hyun said. "When I asked her out of envy, she said, 'You can eat as much as you want if you join the soft tennis team,' so I started." She added, "At that time, my parents recommended me to exercise because I was chubby."
Although she was a little late in her introduction compared to Lim Soo-yeon, she sweated that much. Lim Soo-yeon gave a thumbs-up, saying, "My sister is a really hard worker." "I'm playing in front of the net, but I think I just opened my eyes," Kim Na-hyun said. "There are more cases of reading and blocking the opponent's stroke first."
Their parents got a racket thanks to their daughters. "My parents joined the club while taking care of me," Lim said with a smile. "I played with my parents when I was young," Kim Na-hyun said. "They understand me well because I work out together."
Their goals are the Asian Games and World Championships, the biggest international competitions in the sport. "I want to become a member of the national team and make my name widely known," Lim said. "I started out with pork cutlet, but now I want to eat the best pork cutlet called a medal," Kim Na-hyun said.
Kim Na-hyun and Lim Soo-yeon, who did not forget to thank each other, saying, "They have improved a lot thanks to the passionate guidance of coach Kwon Oh-bok and coach Shin Young-woon." It remains to be seen whether Moon Kyung juniors of Lee Min-sun (NH Nonghyup Bank), who won three gold medals at last year's Anseong World Championship, will continue their senior achievements.
