This is the first medal for the Korean team at the Games.

Kim won gold in the team event at Incheon in 2014 and bronze in the individual event at Jakarta-Palembang in 2018, making it three consecutive Asian Games medals for Kim.

"I'm very disappointed," Kim said in the Mix Zone after the silver medal was confirmed. During the shooting, I felt that my gun was getting sensitive, and when I loaded it, it kept going off. I don't know if it was because I was straining, it was humid, or the gun was the problem," he said.

"I felt that I lacked a lot in this tournament, and I realized that I need to work harder," he said. "The Olympics are not far away. Now I have to prepare for the national championships and the selection trials, but I want to work harder and prepare for next year's season perfectly."

When Kim Se-hee (BNK Savings Bank) was interviewed afterward, Kim burst into tears when she heard the news of her bronze medal in the team event, repeatedly asking the interviewers if it was real.
