South Korea secured a string of medals across swimming and shooting at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games (the 2026 edition of Asia's premier multi-sport competition, held across Japan's Aichi Prefecture and neighbouring cities). In the pool at Tokyo Aquatics Centre, the South Korean team collected five medals on Thursday — three silver and two bronze — including a silver by 19-year-old Park Si-eun in the women's 200-metre breaststroke, where she set a national record of 2:22.69, and a shared silver by Kim Jun-woo in the men's 800-metre freestyle. The men's 4x100-metre freestyle relay team also claimed silver, while bronze medals went to Cho Sung-jae in the men's 200-metre breaststroke and the women's 4x200-metre freestyle relay squad. On the shooting range in Toyota, Lee Jong-jun and Jang Kook-hee won silver in mixed team skeet on Thursday, narrowly losing to a world-record-setting Chinese pair. The following day, Choo Ga-eun and Hong Su-hyeon added a silver in the 10-metre air pistol mixed team event — Choo's third medal of the Games — while a three-man rifle team took bronze in the men's 50-metre rifle 3 positions event. The results bring South Korea's overall shooting tally at the Games to eight medals, though the country appears unlikely to match the 22 swimming medals it won at the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games.
