The Republic of Korea delegation participating in the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games is entering the latter half of the tournament, stepping up its push for gold medals.

On the 1st, the Republic of Korea added consecutive gold medals in shooting, archery, judo, and taekwondo, boosting the atmosphere in the latter part of the event. In particular, as the schedules for key medal-hopeful sports for the Republic of Korea are concentrated in the second half of the tournament, it is expected that the delegation's strong performance will continue in the remaining matches.

Ahead of this tournament, the Korea Sports and Olympic Committee has been advancing the "2026 Aichi-Nagoya AG Team Korea CARE Project" to ensure that national team athletes can perform at their best. The initiative focused on strengthening an athlete-centered support system, including sport-specific customized training support, improved training environments, medical and scientific support, recovery and condition management, and morale boosting.

During the tournament, efforts are also being made to provide on-site support. Yoo Seung-min (Chairman) has visited various sports venues to cheer for athletes in person and meet with athletes and coaches before and after competitions to encourage them, thereby boosting the delegation's morale. Additionally, necessary matters are being continuously checked on-site so that athletes can perform at their best in the remaining matches.

Yoo Seung-min (Chairman) stated, "Today's achievements were made possible by the efforts of athletes and coaches who have trained diligently for a long time," adding, "The Asian Games are not over yet. With many important matches still ahead, we will spare no effort to provide the necessary support so that athletes can fully demonstrate their skills until the very end."

He further said, "We will carefully analyze the achievements and areas for improvement seen in this tournament to further enhance the international competitiveness of Korean sports," adding, "We will further develop an athlete-centered training environment and performance support system so that the experiences and results from Aichi-Nagoya can lead to success at the 2028 LA Olympics, and we will prepare thoroughly for LA28."

After the tournament concludes, the Korea Sports and Olympic Committee plans to comprehensively analyze performance and support outcomes by sport, and based on this analysis, develop measures to improve national team performance in preparation for the 2028 LA Olympics.
