What even is that? I knew that Yinhe had that Kim long pips, but when did this become a thing? Is it just me, or is this weird?

Why would it be strange. Yinhe sponser the dprk team. They're a Chinese company and China is allied with NK so it's a bit like Joola sponsoring a UK player

Gan did a review on his youtube channel about this a while ago. It's also available on Prott. Gan says the Jinshi KLC plays similarly as well as this for much cheaper. I have ordered the Pro version of the KLC blade which from everything I've read on here & bilibili is a really good inner fiber blade that offers exceptional feedback at an amazing price.

In womens Olympics, PRK is the 2nd highest medalist country, in front of Taiwan and Japan….

well, you don't really follow table tennis then.
so not surprised you haven't heard of them.

PRK can easily be a top 3 team if they played more regularly in world champs
and they had been take good for 2 to 3 decades already.
The main players all train full time in Beijing

Speaking of North Korea, they approached China for sponsorships during WTTC 2015 (US$160K and up), with only one condition - no South Korean brands.

Yinhe/Galaxy started sponsoring them in 2017. They even posted a thank-you letter in 2023 (see link 2).
