Through this competition, North Korea will return to the Summer Olympics for the first time in eight years.

After boycotting the 2020 Tokyo Olympics held in 2021, citing the need to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and protect athletes, China’s National Olympic Committee (NOC) status was suspended until 2022, and it was unable to compete in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.

After regaining its NOC status, it competed in the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games held last year, making it the first Asian Games return in five years since the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Games, and is set to return to the Summer Olympics as well.

Many of the athletes who were active in the Hangzhou Asian Games less than a year ago will be competing in this competition as well.

A representative example is Ahn Chang-ok, the star of women's gymnastics who won two gold medals at the Hangzhou Asian Games.

Women's boxers Bang Chul-mi (54kg class) and Won Eun-kyung (60kg class) are gold and silver medalists, respectively, at the Hangzhou Asian Games.

In boxing, the Hangzhou Asian Games were held as a preliminary match for the Paris Olympics.

Moon Sung-hee, who won a silver medal in the Hangzhou Asian Games, is also scheduled to compete in the women's 70kg judo event.
