Korean Baduk won the gold medal in the men's team event at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games.

On the 3rd, Korea secured the gold medal by defeating China in the men's team Baduk final held at the China Qiyuan branch in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China.

During the simultaneous 5-on-5 matches, 9-dan players Shin Jinseo, Shin Minjun, and Park Junghwan consecutively defeated China's 9-dan players Yang Dingxin, Ke Jie, and Mi Yuting, leading Korea to reach 3 wins first.

Previously, Korean Baduk earned a bronze medal in the men's individual event and a silver medal in the women's team event. With this gold medal, Korean Baduk restored its honor.

Shin Jinseo won the bronze medal after losing by resignation to Taiwan's 9-dan player Hsu Hao-hung in 278 moves in the men's individual semifinals on the 28th of last month.

In the women's team final held earlier that day, 9-dan Choi Jeong and 7-dan Kim Eunji lost, resulting in Korea's 1-2 defeat to China.
