After returning to Japan, she had a chance to talk to Lee Ji-hee (South Korea), who advised her, “If that’s what you want to do, you should go when you’re still young, even if you’re only one year old,” which was the deciding factor for her to challenge the final qualifying tournament at the end of the same year.
