Impressions of Watching the Asian Games Swimming Finals
"The Medal Color Doesn't Matter"
Korea Performing Well, Currently Ranked 2nd Overall

President Yoon Suk-yeol stated on Facebook on the 29th, "I support all the athletes who are doing their best." President Yoon, who watched the Asian Games swimming finals commentary by commentator Park Tae-hwan that day, said, "The juniors were breaking the records that Park Tae-hwan held with new records. I was deeply moved seeing a senior genuinely happy about that," adding, "Through fierce efforts, the juniors are confidently running on the path opened by their seniors."

President Yoon continued, "Now, the color of the medal does not matter in Korea. It is enough to surpass one's own limits and records," and said, "I see the future of Korea in the figure of a senior telling a junior, who is holding back a smile on the podium, 'Do not hold back that smile today.'” Meanwhile, on the 7th day of the competition, Korea ranks second overall behind China with 24 gold medals, 24 silver medals, and 41 bronze medals as of 6 p.m.
