The team competed in the
2018 Asian Games. South Korea and North Korea will compete as one in select events in the Asian Games. The composition of the 12-player team roster will be largely South Korean with 3 players being North Korean. The team will be led by South Korea's head coach
Lee Moon-kyu. South Korea and North Korea held exhibition games in men's and women's basketball at the Ryugyong Jong Ju Yong Gymnasium in the latter's capital of
Pyongyang in July 2018. Two of the games featured mixed-teams with players from both countries; Team Prosperity and Team Peace while the other two games featured the national teams of both countries. Head coach
Lee Moon-kyu used the exhibition matches by the women's teams to scout for possible North Korean players who may be included in the unified Korea team. In the group stage of the women's basketball competition, the unified Korea was drawn in Group X with Kazakhstan, Indonesia and India. However such plan did not materialize with the Korean peninsula represented solely by South Korea in the tournament. ==Team image==
