eSports player Kang Dong-shin has reached the semifinals in Puyo Puyo.
Kang advanced to the semifinals of the Puyo Puyo tournament at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games after defeating India's Paritosh 5-0 in the quarterfinals held at the Aichi Sky Expo in Tokoname, Japan.
Earlier, Kang finished the group stage with a record of 3 wins and 1 loss, securing a spot in the quarterfinals. Notably, he was the only player to win a set against Japan's 11-year-old gaming prodigy Yuki Kurihara, although he ultimately lost that match with a set score of 1-3.
If Kang reaches the finals, he will face either Kurihara or Thailand's Thanarak Wongkitikun.
