South Korea Wins 2nd Gold Medal at Asian Games in Men's Modern Pentathlon Team Event

The South Korean men's modern pentathlon national team has captured the country's second gold medal of the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games in the team event.

Jun Woong-tae (Gangwon State Sports Council), Seo Chang-wan (South Jeolla Provincial Office), and Lee Jong-hyun (Daejeon Metropolitan City Hall) claimed victory in the men's team event held at the Anjo Sports Park in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, today.

This marks South Korea's second gold medal of the games, following Seong Seung-min (Korea National Sport University)'s victory in the women's individual modern pentathlon earlier.

Modern pentathlon is a sport in which a single athlete competes in fencing, swimming, obstacle racing, and laser run (running and shooting). The team event determines rankings by combining the scores of the top three individual performers from each participating country.
