World No. 10 Shin Yubin lost 0-4 (7-11, 9-11, 6-11, 8-11) to world No. 4 Chen Xingtong in the women's singles round of 16 match held in Macau on the 17th. Korean media said after the game that so far, Shin Yubin, who entered the round of 16 through the qualifiers with two consecutive wins, failed to cross China's obstacles and was eliminated.

It is worth mentioning that Shen Yubin failed to get rid of the absolute disadvantage in this year's duel with Chinese players with a total defeat of 5 fights.

Shin Yubin lost 0-3 to China's He Zhuojia (then ranked 19th in the world) in the round of 16 of the 2025 WTT Singapore Grand Slam in February, Wang Yidi (3rd) in the round of 16 of the Asian Cup, and Chen Xingtong 0-3 in the round of 16 of the WTT Championship Chongqing last month.

Then in the WTT Championship Incheon Station that ended on the 6th of this month, Shin Yubin lost 1-4 to Wang Yidi, a top 8 opponent, and then collapsed after failing to win a game in the rematch with Chen Xingtong.

Shin Yubin had a close match with Chen Xingtong at the beginning of the first game, but lost 7-11 and got off to an unstable start. After some offensive and defensive battles in the second game, they finally lost 9-11, and they did not win the 3rd and 4th games, and they were sure to miss the top 8 of women's singles in this World Cup.

Among the South Korean players, Ahn Jae-hyun of the men's team and Seo Hyo-won of the women's team will also face the round of 16 of this World Cup.
