Hyundai Motor's Chung Mong-koo Cup Korea Archery Competition 2025, which will be held in Gwangju from October 1 to 3, is considered a representative archery competition in which the nation's best athletes compete fiercely in recurve and compound events. The competition will be held at Gwangju International Archery Stadium (qualifying) and May 18 Democratic Square (main competition), and it is expected that visitors will be able to enjoy the sense of realism by checking the players' skills in front of their eyes.

This competition is considered an important stage that shows the improvement of the athletes' performance and the development of Korean archery beyond simple game management. Participating players will compete for the best prize money in the nation, competing for the best individual performance in the men's and women's individual competitions.

In particular, in this competition, 'Archery Shooting Robot', which combines advanced technology, will be unveiled on the official stage for the first time. Developed by Hyundai Motor Group, the robot analyzes wind direction and intensity in real time through various sensors and implements a high accuracy rate through precise angle adjustment in millimeter (mm) units when shooting arrows. Thanks to the performance with little error, individual and team games are possible with players, and they can experience the same tension as real games.




Archery shooting robots, which have been only available through the media, will feature one-on-one matches with South Korea's national team players in this competition, providing new attractions to visitors. Through this, the combination of sports science and the latest technology, which has not been seen in previous games, will be realized, and it is expected to make the competition site a more differentiated stage. In addition, an audio system and a large screen will be installed inside the stadium to further increase the immersion of visitors.

An official from the Korea Archery Association said, "This event will be a stage to showcase a new experience that combines technology and sports beyond simple race management. Through this, we expect to show the innovative future that Korean archery aims for."

The Korea Archery Association plans to take the lead in improving the athletes' performance as well as the sustainable development of archery and strengthening sports science-based competitiveness. The association will continue to introduce and support technologies to help players maintain their best skills with Hyundai Motor Group in the future.
