This is the first time that Korean Judo has won a gold medal in this competition.

Hayun Kim calmly played the game, ignoring the one-sided cheering from the home crowd that filled the stands.

He succeeded in catching the opponent off guard 43 seconds after the game started.

After swiftly grabbing the opponent's collar, he used his specialty leg technique to perform half of the field kick.

Hayun Kim, who went ahead, continued the game calmly.

[Ha-yun Kim](https://kr.pinterest.com/pin/1088182328698150020), who each received a foul at 1 minute and 24 seconds into the game, did not waver and continued to put pressure on her opponent.

Kim Ha-yoon, who was fighting to catch, took control of the game by attempting her specialty, the leg-hanging technique.

Ha-yoon Kim held on by blocking the opponent's press attempt at the end of the game, and ultimately ended the game as is.

On this day, Ha-yoon Kim won all games with more than half of the points scored.

In the quarterfinals, she defeated Uzbekistan's Rinata Ilmatova with a single lunge 1 minute and 57 seconds into the match, and defeated Amarsaukhan Adiyasuren (Mongolia), whom she met in the semifinals, with a thigh kick with 5 seconds left in regulation time. .

Ha-yoon Kim also set the record of becoming the first Korean judoka to win the Asian Games women's heavyweight title.

Korea has not won a gold medal in the women's heavyweight division since the 1986 Seoul Games, when judo was adopted as an official event at the [Asian Games](https://livepositively.com/taekwondo-women-s-53kg-class-surprise-victory-park-hye-jin/).

The judo team escaped the humiliation of 'no gold' in the individual competition at this competition with Kim Ha-yoon winning the gold medal.

Even the men's heavyweight Kim Min-jong (Yangpyeong-gun Office), who was considered a candidate for the championship that day, failed to advance to the finals and was on the verge of losing gold in the first Asian Games individual event, but Kim Ha-yoon saved Korean judo from the quagmire.

In the bronze medal match, Kim Min-jong maintained his pride by defeating Galimzhan Krikbai (Kazakhstan) in a close match (golden score) with a throw in half.

Minjong Kim failed to challenge for the gold medal as he was defeated by Temur Kharimov (Tajikistan) in the semifinals by half of his heels.

Hyeonji Yoon (Ansan City Hall) defeated Aruna Angeldina (Kazakhstan) in the women's 78kg bronze medal match with half a waist slap and half a press.

Korea finished the individual competition at this competition with one gold medal, two silver medals, and six bronze medals.

The number of gold medals is the lowest ever.

Previously, the lowest number of wins was 2 at the 1990 Beijing Games.
