The South Korean women's hockey team advanced to the semifinals by defeating Malaysia at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games.

Led by head coach Han Jin-su, the South Korean team beat Malaysia 5-0 in the fourth match of Group A's round-robin stage held on the 3rd at the Gongshu Canal Sports Park in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China.

With 3 wins and 1 draw, South Korea tied with India but advanced to the semifinals as the second place in the group due to goal difference.

The rankings for Group B will be determined based on the results of the evening matches between Japan (3 wins) and Kazakhstan (1 win, 2 losses), and China and Thailand (both 2 wins, 1 loss).

South Korea will face the first-place team from Group B in the semifinals. Given the objective strength, it is highly likely they will meet Japan in the semifinals.

The South Korean women's hockey team finished 4th at the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Games and did not win a medal.

The semifinal match will be held on the 5th at the same venue.
