Moon Hye-kyung, who won silver medals in mixed doubles and team events at the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Asian Games, earned the gold medal in singles and bronze medals in mixed doubles and team events at this competition.

Korea won one gold medal and four bronze medals in soft tennis at this Games. Since soft tennis became an official Asian Games event at the 1994 Hiroshima Games, this is the first time Korea has finished the competition with only one gold medal.
