South Korean archery has won the recurve men's and women's team titles at the Asian Games for the first time in 13 years. It is the eighth time in history that the men's and women's national teams have won gold together in this event at the Asian Games. The women's team proved once again that they are an 'absolute force to be reckoned with' by winning their seventh consecutive Asian Games title.

The Korean men's archery team of Kim Jeduk (19), Lee Woo-seok (26), and Oh Jin-hyuk (42) won gold in the recurve team event final at the Hangzhou Asian Games on Saturday, defeating India 5-1 (60-55, 57-57, 56-55). This is the first time in 13 years that South Korean men's archery has won the recurve team title at an Asian Games since Guangzhou 2010. They won bronze in Incheon in 2014 and silver in Jakarta-Palembang in 2018. Men's archery had won eight consecutive titles from 1982 in New Delhi to 2010 in Guangzhou.

Oh Jin-hyuk, a member of the winning team at the 2010 Guangzhou Games, said, "It took 13 years. The medal I won when I was younger and the medal I won when I was older are equally important to me," he said, adding, "The mindset is the same now as it was then." "I prepared for this tournament with great determination. My siblings did a great job for me."

With the win, Lee won her second gold medal of the tournament. On Thursday, Lee also won gold in the recurve mixed team event with the youngest member of the women's national team, 20-year-old Lee Im-hyun, beating Japan. Lee shot five of her six arrows in the final for 10 points. Lee won silver in both the individual and team events at the 2018 Games, his first appearance at the Asian Games. "I've been waiting a long time for this team gold," Lee said. I'm so happy that I don't know what to say," he said. Kim Jeduk, a two-time Olympic gold medalist in Tokyo 2021, won his first Asian Games medal in gold.

Choi Mi-sun, the eldest member of the women's team, threw up her hands and said, "I don't know," when asked which of the two juniors she thought would win in the final.
