Despite a short preparation period, they demonstrated outstanding skills through focused training and persistent effort, winning an impressive total of 4 gold medals, 7 silver medals, and 14 bronze medals achieving the remarkable feat of having every team member place.—

This tournament was also recognized as an event that elevated Korea's status in cultural diplomacy. The outstanding performance in an international competition hosted in Korea, the birthplace of Taekwondo, left a strong impression on both domestic and international participants. Gold medalist Lee Jun-wi said, "Although the training time was not sufficient, I tried to stay as focused as possible within the given time, and I'm thankful that the effort led to such great results."

Head coach Kim Deok-hoon stated, "As this was an international-level competition, many top athletes from Korea and abroad participated, creating a highly competitive environment. I'm proud that our athletes showcased their skills without wavering. Based on this experience, we will systematically prepare training programs and strategies so that we can participate with more athletes and improved performance next year."
