4-1 win over host China
Finishing the competition with 1 gold, 1 silver, and 1 bronze

The South Korean men's Go team won the team event at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, protecting the pride of the strongest country in Go. With this, the Korean Go team finished its Asian Games journey with one gold medal, one silver medal (women's team event) and one bronze medal (men's individual event).

Korea beat China 4-1 in the final round of the tournament held at the branch center of the Chinese Academy in Hangzhou, China on the 3rd. Shin Jin-seo, Shin Min-joon, Park Jung-hwan, and Kim Myung-hoon won side by side in the final match, which was held as a 5-5 simultaneous match. The South Korean men's Go team, which won the gold medal at the 2010 Guangzhou Games, also won the title at the event, achieving its second consecutive victory. Baduk was excluded from the official event at the 2014 Incheon and 2018 Jakarta and Palembang tournaments.

It wasn't a good start. Pae Sang-il, the 9th dan who finished the match first, lost a round to Lee Chin-cheong, the 9th dan, losing his 7.5th black house in 295 moves. However, other articles showed off the power of the world's strongest country and reported victory in succession.

Shin Jin-seo, the world's strongest player in name and reality, defeated Yang Ding-shin, 9 dan, with a hundred and fifty-fifty victory in 240 moves and became the first Korean knight to win. Shin Min-joon was at an absolute disadvantage in the beginning against Ke Jie 9 dan, but he succeeded in a great turnaround after the middle of the game and won the black half in 324 moves.

Park Jung-hwan, ranked second in the Korean rankings, also achieved a black victory in 261 moves by catching the hemp of the 9th dan of Mewitting. With this victory, South Korea secured the gold medal on a first-come, third-served basis. In the latest match, Kim Myung-hoon also ended his gold hunt by winning a hundred and four home runs in 297 moves against Zhao Chunyu 9 dan, who was pushed back in the opponent's record (3 losses).

With the men's team gold medal, Korean Go kept its last pride. In the first place, South Korea sought to win three gold medals in all events following the 2010 Guangzhou Games, but had not won a gold medal until the men's team event. In 2010, Korea won three gold medals (a men's and women's team event and a mixed pair) and one bronze medal (a mixed pair), overwhelming the host country China (three silver medals).

However, in this tournament, the goal of "sweeping" was canceled early on. This is because Shin Jin-seo only won the bronze medal in the men's individual event. Since then, Korea has been counting on the men's and women's team championships, but even this did not go as it wished. She had to settle for a silver medal after losing to China 1-2 in the women's team final.

Nevertheless, the men's national team did not give up until the end and performed their respective roles perfectly, achieving a successful conclusion. Shin Jin-seo said, "Although winning the individual competition may be more honorable, I think winning the team competition is better because I can share joy with my team members," adding, "It's a competition where both regret and joy remain, but I'm still relieved (to achieve the beauty of the end)."
