'Golden Shots' brought laughter.

The South Korean shooting team, led by General Manager Armored Seok, returned with a medal around its neck. South Korea hit its best record at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Oh Ye-jin (IBK Industrial Bank) of the women's air pistol 10m, Ban Hyo-jin (Daegu Sports High School) of the women's air rifle 10m, and Yang Ji-in (Korea National Sports University) of the women's pistol 25m have won three gold medals. Park Ha-joon (KT) and Geum Ji-hyun (Gyeonggi Provincial Government), Kim Ye-ji (Imsil County Office) of the women's air pistol 10m, and Cho Young-jae (National Military Sports Unit) of the men's 25m rapid fire pistol added three gold medals. The previous record was three gold medals and two silver medals recorded at the 2012 London Games.

The team arrived at Incheon International Airport on the 7th and received enthusiastic applause from family, colleagues, and numerous fans. The players looked puzzled by the outpouring of cheers.

Ban Hyo-jin, who became the youngest person to win the 100th medal in the history of the Korean Summer Olympics, said "I couldn't believe I won the medal before I returned home. As many people come to see me, I realize that I finally won the gold medal. Thank you. I knew it was my 100th gold medal after I won it. Thank you so much. I originally had great faith in my own. Originally, my goal was to become a representative next year with this year's score. I'm grateful that I achieved my bigger dream so soon. I want to achieve the Grand Slam, too," he said with a smile.

Oh Ye-jin, who won the gold medal in Korean shooting '1' in this competition, said "I really wanted to come to Korea. I had nothing to worry about in the final against a Korean player. I think I shot it stably. I can only remember our Korean team players who worked hard. Winning an Olympic medal doesn't mean it's over. I will work harder to become a strong and consistently good player."

Yang Ji-in, who won the gold medal amid the sincere cheering of his colleagues, said, `I am even more grateful for the good results. I think I need to relieve the stress I've accumulated so far, reorganize, and prepare to play hard in domestic competitions. Since (shooting) is an unpopular sport, let's all announce it together?X? X' and gave him courage. I think that's how I got a lot of medals."
