Korea had won their first match against Côte d'Ivoire, and defeated India to earn the bronze medal and $5,000 (€4632) in prize money.

World Taekwondo President Chungwon Choue expressed his gratitude to Gangwon State, Chuncheon City and the Organising Committee for their work staging the events, and underlined World Taekwondo’s commitment to innovation to help continue the sport’s growth.

"This continued evolution of Taekwondo, embracing all generations, is recognized and respected by the IOC and entire sport communities together with our contributions to peace-building through Taekwondo.

"Taekwondo is growing as such and I hope that Chuncheon will continue playing an important role in the development and promotion of Taekwondo."
