On the 10th '8th, the Korea Archery Association elected all Korean candidates as subcommittee members at the 2025 World Archery Asia (WAA) General Assembly in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It produced a total of four subcommittee members. This is the result of producing the largest number of people at a single general meeting once again following the 2021 general meeting. South Korea's professionalism and influence in Asian archery have been officially evaluated as being strengthened.'
There are a total of four Koreans: Kim Woo-jin (Cheongju City Hall, new), coach Lim Dong-hyun (Korea Sports University, new), coach of ▶ Target Archery Committee Han Seung-hoon (Hyundai Steel, new), and ▶ Dr. Kim Young-sook (Korea Sports Science Institute, new) of the Medical and Scientific Committee. For a four-year term until 2029, they will participate in key decision-making for each division, including Asian continental development programs, leader education, competition and technology policies, and sports science.
The Korea Archery Association said 'This result is that the international technical and administrative capabilities of Korean archery have been recognized at the same time. South Korea's role and right to speak will be further expanded in discussions on the development of Asian archery in the future.
Meanwhile, after this general meeting, Chung Eui-sun, president of the Korea Archery Association, was appointed as an honorary chairman after completing his term as president of the Asian Archery Federation. He has been in office for 20 years, serving five consecutive terms since 2005. During his tenure, Chairman Chung is said to have dramatically increased the competitiveness and status of Asian archery by leading the establishment of mid- to long-term development strategies, expansion of international exchanges, and strengthening ODA-based support programs for underdeveloped countries. At this general meeting, Chairman Chung was officially appointed as the honorary chairman of the WAA after Chung Mong-koo (the 3rd to 5th chairman of the Asian Archery Federation). It was recorded as the first time that the father and son took on the honorary chairmanship side by side. This is significant in that it is a generational succession of the international administrative foundation and leadership that Korean archery has built.
The Korean Archery Association will ensure that the Asian Archery Federation will continue to build a stronger international administrative system and expand its influence. The Korean Archery Association will continue to make efforts with the members elected as subcommittee members this time, he said.
