Shin Yubin won two consecutive World Championships medals after winning the silver medal in women's doubles with Tian Zhixi (retired) at the 2023 Durban Championships. Lin Zhongxun/Shin Yubin will compete with China's Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha for a place in the mixed doubles final. South Korean media said that Lim Joong-hoon/Shin Yu-bin, who won the mixed doubles championship at the WTT Star Challenge Chennai in March this year, faced the Lim Yun-ru/Jung Yi-jeong combination who advanced to the South Korean pair Oh Hyun-sung/Kim Na-young, and completed the shame for them. Shin Yubin also played as a duo with Hannah Yoo in the women's doubles quarterfinals, defeating Japan's world No. 1 pair Satsuki Oto/Sakura Yokoi 3-1 (11-9, 9-11, 11-6, 18-16) to reach the semi-finals and secure a bronze medal.
