South Korea have played in major tournaments as the dark horses for a long time now but will be coming into the Kabaddi Masters competition with a lot of recognized names in the squad. Jang Kun Lee is undoubtedly one of the best raiders from the Pro Kabaddi League, while the swift all-rounder Tae Deok Eom is capable of picking points at ease. The defensive unit also boasts of big names such as Seong Ryeol Kim, Young Chang Ko and is more than just capable of proving as a nightmare for the opposition's raiders.
When quizzed on which team he thought was a good looking side, Manjeet said at the Press Conference, "In my opinion, Korea looks like a strong team. In this tournament, Iran is missing some of their big-ticket players and given that some players from Korea have experience from the Pro Kabaddi League, they will pose a stiff challenge." The 31-year-old signed off by mentioning that South Korea can be expected to go a long way in the tournament.
