SK Telecom hosted a medalist ceremony to invite 'Team SKT' athletes who won medals at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games.

At this 2026 Asian Games, which concluded on the 4th, 'Team SKT' athletes achieved a combined total of 20 medals, including five gold, eight silver, and seven bronze. In particular, 'SKT-FAN,' a fencing AI performance analysis system independently developed by SKT, gained attention for its contribution to 10 fencing medals by automatically identifying scoring and conceding scenes in match footage and analyzing each athlete's movements.

The event held on the 7th at Seoul SKT Tower was attended by eight medalists—fencing athletes Oh Sang-wook, Do Kyung-dong, Song Se-ra, Jeon Ha-young, Namadi Joel Jin, Eddie Daniel, Shin Su-min, and Park Hye-jung—along with SKT members.

The athletes who took the stage directly dressed Chung Jae-hyun, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), in the ceremony jackets they had worn on the Asian Games podium, expressing their gratitude for having shared the tournament together. They then presented a framed 'National Support Taegeukgi,' which had been delivered to the team at the departure ceremony in August with messages of support from the public, along with the athletes' autographs.

Previously, SK Telecom held a departure ceremony for 'Team SKT' at the Jincheon National Sports Training Center in Chungcheongbuk-do in August, wishing success to its sponsored athletes competing in the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games. At the time, SK Telecom announced that it would additionally dispatch medical trainers and performance analysts to help manage the condition of fencing athletes and improve their competitive performance.

Oh Sang-wook, who won a double crown in men's sabre fencing, said, "Thanks to the support contained in the Taegeukgi received at the departure ceremony and the AI performance analysis system, I was able to achieve good results." He added, "I am happy that I can repay SKT, which has consistently stood by our side for a long time, and everyone who supported us with medals."

SK Telecom supported the national team's tournament preparation by adding an AI performance analysis system to its sponsorship of the Korea Fencing Association, which it has continued for 24 years.
