Short track speed skating, the dominant sport of the Korean team, is expected to lead the South Korean team's medal race at the 2025 Harbin Asian Winter Games, and the Korean short track speed skating team is aiming to win more than six of the nine gold medals in this tournament.

The Korean short track speed skating team has high hopes for the women's team, in particular. The women's team led by Choi Minjing and Kim Ju Li was evaluated by the Korean media as a gold medal that can sweep all events. Instead, the men's team will compete fiercely with the host country, China. South Korean media said that the Chinese men's team has South Korean naturalized player Lin Xiaojun, and Hungarian naturalized players Liu Shaolin and Liu Shaoang brothers have also entered the squad, all three of whom are Winter Olympics gold medalists. On the contrary, none of the South Korean men's short track speed skating team participants in individual events have any experience in the Winter Olympics or Asian Winter Games.
