The South Korean men's 4x100m relay team aims to win the country's first-ever gold medal at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games opening next month. They are determined to surpass their silver medal performance from the Hangzhou Games three years ago and reach the pinnacle of Asia.

The Lee Beon (CEO) team is composed of members considered the strongest in history: Kim Si-on (Korea Army), Lee Jae-seong (Gwangju City Hall), Bwesa Daniel Kasama (Ansan City Hall), Seo Min-jun (Seocheon County Office), and Namadi Joel Jin (Yechon County Office).

According to a NEWS1 report on the 6th, athletes training at the Jincheon National Training Center are showing clear confidence against their formidable rival, host nation Japan.

Eldest member Kim Si-on stated, "We do not view Japan as a rival; we see them as an opponent we can certainly defeat," adding, "If our first and third runners combine their strength with the explosive speed of Joel Jin and Bwesa, we can win easily."

Joel Jin, the youngest member making his first Asian Games appearance, also added, "If we focus on shaving off time from our records and peak during the competition, we should be able to achieve good results together with my teammates."

The baton exchange coordination, a key element of the relay, is proceeding smoothly. Seo Min-jun said, "I always think about how Daniel will hold his hand," while Bwesa emphasized their organizational strength by stating, "Just by watching him take his first step, I know where he will raise his arm."

Joel Jin and Bwesa, who have been engaging in friendly competition in domestic sprint events, will now serve as reliable partners in the relay. The two athletes said, "In the relay, we are solid partners moving toward the same goal and athletes who help each other grow," previewing a positive synergy.
