In the round of 16, Jeon Ha-young beat Chinese ace Zhang Xinyi 15-13 and secured a medal by reaching the semifinals after beating Turkey's Nissanur Erbil (12th in the world) 15-12 in the quarterfinals, beating the one-pot rice Jungmi Kim. After lightly beating Alina Mikaylova 15-7 in the semifinals, she won the championship with unbeaten momentum in the final. Jeon Ha-young, who was ranked No. 1 in the world last season, once again came out on top.
At an open press conference for the 2025 national fencing team training at the end of last month, Jeon said, `I felt a lot of pressure as my ranking rose sharply last season. I'm not good at talking to others, but I think I need help, so I tried to talk to my friends and teachers a lot about me. The early performance was good, but the results of the Asian and World Championships were disappointing. I want to do well in the new season" had expressed his determination. In the first competition of the new season ahead of the Aichi and Nagoya Asian Games, he showed off his strong performance by standing at the top of the world with his determination.
