Ryu Han-na (Korean: 유한나; born 20 April 2002) is a South Korean table tennis player.[2][3]
Career
[edit]During her junior career, Ryu represented South Korea in numerous international youth competitions, including winning the junior girls' doubles title with Shin Yu-bin at the 2018 Asian Junior and Cadet Table Tennis Championships.[4]
Following the retirement of Jeon Ji-hee, Ryu emerged as a key left-handed doubles player for the South Korean national team.[5] In 2025, she partnered with Shin Yu-bin to reach the women's doubles final at the WTT Star Contender Chennai, where they were defeated in the deciding game by Japan's pair, Miwa Harimoto and Miyuu Kihara.[6] Later that year, Ryu teamed up with Kim Na-yeong at the WTT Contender Taiyuan and won the women's doubles title, defeating China's Chen Yi and Xu Yi in the final.[7]
At the 2025 World Table Tennis Championships, Ryu and Shin advanced to the semifinals of the women's doubles event, having defeated the top-seeded Japanese duo, Satsuki Odo and Sakura Yokoi, in the quarterfinals.[5] Although they lost to Austria's Sofia Polcanova and Romania's Bernadette Szőcs in the semifinals, the pair secured a bronze medal for South Korea.[8]
