The united Republic of Korea Yang Gung (CEO) team remains strong. At the '2026 Hyundai Archery World Cup 4th tournament,' which served as a precursor to the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, all Korean recurve teams secured gold medals.

The South Korean national archery squad concluded the event held in Madrid, Spain from the 7th to the 12th with two gold and three bronze medals, led by their double victory in the recurve men's and women's team events.

The women's recurve national team, consisting of Kang Chae-young, Lee Yun-ji, and Oh Ye-jin, defeated the United States 5 sets to 1 in the team final held on the 12th. The men's recurve national team, composed of Kim Woo-jin, Kim Je-deok, and Lee Woo-seok, also completed the double victory by defeating France 5 sets to 3 in the final.

Medal wins continued in the individual events held on the evening of the 12th. In the women's individual event, Oh Ye-jin defeated India's Kirti 7 sets to 1 in the bronze medal match, securing the bronze and avenging her earlier semi-final loss to Czech Republic's Marie Horackova with a score of 4-6.

In the men's individual event, Kim Je-deok lost to Italy's Mauro Nespoli 4 sets to 6 in the semi-finals but then defeated Germany's Leon Seemiller 6 sets to 2 in the bronze medal match to stand on the podium.

As a result, the South Korean national team claimed first place in the overall standings with two gold medals in the recurve men's and women's team events, two bronze medals in the recurve men's and women's individual events, and one bronze medal from the previously held compound women's team event, totaling two golds and three bronzes.
