Sun-Woo Hwang and Woo-Min Kim represented Gangwon with Jae-Hoon Yang and Min-Jun Kim (Gangwon Provincial Office) in the men's 400m relay final held at the Mokpo Indoor Swimming Pool in Jeollanam-do on the 17th, winning with a record of 3 minutes 15.94 seconds.

They won the gold medal after a close battle with Daegu representatives Yang Seok-hyun, Ji Yu-chan, Kim Jin-won, and Lee Ho-jun (Daegu City Hall, 3 minutes 16.37 seconds).

The Korean record (3 minutes 12.96 seconds) set at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games last month could not be broken.

Sun-woo Hwang won his third gold medal, following the men's 800m relay on the 15th and the men's 200m freestyle on the 16th.

He is aiming for additional gold medals by participating in the 100m freestyle (18th), 400m medley relay (19th), and the 400m mixed medley relay (18th) in the general division, which will be held as an exhibition match.

Kim Woo-min won gold medals in the 1,500m freestyle on the 14th and the 800m relay on the 15th, and added gold medals in the 400m freestyle and 400m relay on the same day, securing four gold medals.

Kim Woo-min has two events remaining, the 400m medley relay and the 400m mixed medley relay (exhibition match).

While the exhibition match is not included in the record of multiple wins, the two are aiming for five wins together.

Hwang Sun-woo and Kim Woo-min are also competing for the Most Valuable Player Award (MVP) of this tournament.

If Hwang Seon-woo, MVP of the 2021 and 2022 tournaments, wins this tournament as well, he will become MVP for three consecutive years for the first time in history.

The two suffered from food poisoning after eating the wrong food with their Gangwon Provincial Office colleagues just before the opening of the competition, but they are competing in a friendly competition, sweeping up the gold medal despite the worst conditions.
