Yun achieved a total score of 9.3800 points, topping the podium at Toyohashi Gymnasium. This victory marks South Korea's second poomsae gold medal at these Asian Games, following Jung Ha-eun's win in the women's individual event earlier. Yun is now the third South Korean male poomsae practitioner to win the Asian Games title since the discipline became an official event in 2018, following Kang Min-sung and Kang Wan-jin. Yun's winning score was the average of two routine scores: 9.340 points for his first routine and 9.420 points for his second routine. Yun edged out Thailand's Navin Pinthasute by a margin of 0.1 point. At 24 years old, Yun was also the 2024 world poomsae silver medalist and took gold at the Asian championships. Yun, currently serving his mandatory military service, will receive an early discharge due to his Asian Games gold medal. He is part of his Army unit's taekwondo demonstration squad. Yun expressed gratitude to his officers and fellow soldiers for their support, stating that they have helped him immensely. Despite his many career achievements, Yun considers this moment the happiest he has felt.",
