Min's Story

Min Hyung Jee started playing Table Tennis at 10 years old in Korea and first competed at the international level at the World Junior Championships back in 2003.

She competed in various Opens across the world from Taipei to Stockholm throughout her junior career before taking a hiatus from official tournaments throughout the second half of the 2000s.

The 2013 Summer Universiade, hosted in Kazan, Russia was the only official tournament Min Hyung entered between 2007-2017.

Min Hyung first visited Australia in 2016 on a working holiday and rediscovered her passion for the sport after visiting a local club in Brisbane. After joining the Brisbane Table Tennis Association, Min Hyung began competing again in official competitions across Queensland and Australia winning back-to-back Australian Table Tennis Championships in 2018 and 2019. 

At the end of 2019 would see Min Hyung returned to international competitions as a senior player, winning all four of her matchups in her Super League debut. She went on to debut in the European Champions League in 2020 and began competing regularly in World Table Tennis events in late 2021, which paved the way for her Commonwealth Games debut.

Min Hyung donned the green and gold across the women's singles, doubles, mixed doubles and women's team events in Birmingham for the 2022 Commonwealth Games. Her best result was silver in the women's doubles alongside Aussie table tennis veteran Jian Fang Lay.

Min Hyung also shared in the bronze medal-winning women's team that year and would fell short of scoring a second bronze medal in the mixed doubles alongside Nicholas Lum.

The 2022 Oceania Table Tennis Championships provided Min Hyung and Nicholas Lum redemption for their Commonwealth Games bronze medal loss by taking victory in the mixed doubles. Min Hyung followed up this continental success by winning the women's doubles in 2023 alongside Jian.

As of May 2024, Min Hyung Jee sits 59th in the women's table tennis world rankings and is set to compete in Paris.
