At the Asian Games in Okazaki, South Korea women's recurve archery team secured a silver medal after a rare team loss for the first time since 1994.

Despite the disappointment, Lee and Oh, both competing in their first Asian Games, expressed their determination to learn from the experience and bounce back.
Lee, 25, acknowledged the value of participating in such a large event and vowed to build on this experience.
