According to The Korea Times, the team members were Lee, Choi Woo-je, Kim Geon-woo, Ryu Min-seok, Kim Gun-boo, and Lee Min-hyung.\n\nIn a separate event, Taiwanese boxer Lin Yu-ting won gold in the women's 60kg final, beating China's Yang Chengyu 5-0. This is Lin's second Asian Games gold, with her first being in the 57kg class in Hangzhou three years ago. Lin had considered retiring after the Paris Olympics due to a major gender row, but wanted to continue fighting to defy those who questioned her eligibility.\n\nSouth Korea also won gold in the men's team event in recurve archery, with Lee Woo-seok, Kim Je-deok, and Kim Woo-jin defeating India 5-1 in the final.",
