[2] The team will be led by South Korea's head coach Lee Moon-kyu.

[3] 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.

[5] 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.

[7] However such plan did not materialize with the Korean peninsula represented solely by South Korea in the tournament.

The unified Korean team had a local Korean manufacturer as their kit supplier instead of the Nike, the kit-supplier of the South Korea women's national team to avoid violating sanctions imposed on North Korea banning the importation of luxury goods including sports equipment.
