Lee Jae-kyun Doubles His Joy with Individual Bronze Medal
Total Haul of Four Medals Highlights Team Korea’s Rising Shooting Stars
The South Korean national shooting team has achieved a remarkable victory, securing first place in the men’s 25m rapid fire pistol team event at the Asian Shooting Championships.
The team, made up of Lee Jae-kyun (KB Kookmin Bank), Hong Suk-jin, and Yoon Seo-young (Republic of Korea Armed Forces Athletic Corps), claimed the gold medal in the event’s final held on the 27th (local time) in Shymkent, Kazakhstan.
The 25m rapid fire pistol competition is known for its intensity, requiring competitors to hit five targets in quick succession from a distance of 25 meters—a true test of swift reflexes and steely concentration.
Lee Jae-kyun’s outstanding performance didn’t stop with the team victory; he also secured an individual bronze medal in the same discipline, bringing his personal medal tally to two.
After Choi Young-jae (Gyeonggi Provincial Government Team) claimed Korea’s first-ever Olympic silver in the 25m rapid fire pistol event at the 2024 Paris Olympics, this Asian Championships gold marks another major breakthrough for South Korean shooting. The victory is hailed as a return to the top in the team category for this prestigious event.
Elsewhere, in the men's 50m pistol team event, Lee Won-ho (KB Kookmin Bank), Hong Soo-hyun (Republic of Korea Armed Forces Athletic Corps), and Bang Jae-hyun (Seosan City Hall) delivered a commendable performance to earn the bronze medal.
Young prospect Song Seung-ho (Korea National Sport University), regarded as a next-generation shooting star, also signaled a bright future for South Korea by grabbing a bronze medal in the junior individual pistol event.
Team Korea concluded this year’s Asian Shooting Championships with an impressive total of four medals: one gold and three bronze.
