The first Korean Olympic team played with the Korean flag was the London Olympic Games in 1948.
The 67 teams went to Busan by train from Seoul Station at 8 am on June 21, about two months before the government was established. Two days later, a team from Busan on a boat from Fukuoka moved to Yokohama the next day by special train. We then arrived in Hong Kong on July 2 via a passenger ship via Shanghai.

The flight from Hong Kong is a Norwegian propeller. With 40 passengers, the first departs on July 4 and the second departs on July 7. The planes pass through Bangkok, Thailand and Kolkata and Mumbai in Baghdad (Iraq), Cairo (Egypt) and Rome (Italy). Via It was evening on the 11th of July when our Squadron arrived in London, the venue.

The players who returned half a globe for 21 days were missing before they even started. Football lost 12-0 to Sweden, and Choi Yoon-chil, a marathon runner-up marathoner, headed off at 37km and lost his leg cramps. Even in the harshest conditions, Korean boxing was fighting fire. Hansu-an of the flyweight won the bronze medal, and along with weightlifting Kim Seong-gwi, he was the first Korean athlete to win an Olympic medal.

In 2020, 72 years after the London Olympics in 1948, the current boxing team, Hansuan's juniors, suffered a lot of trouble for other reasons. The first round of the Tokyo Olympics Asia / Oceania region will be held in Wuhan, China from February 3rd. Our team was preparing for training at Jincheon athletes' village in Chungbuk, waiting for February 3rd. Condition and biorhythm were also aiming for this day.

The spread of Corona 19 has changed the venue from China, which is geographically close, to Amman, Jordan, in the Middle East. The race was postponed to March 3 for a month. But this was not the end. As the Jordanian government unveiled a policy to ban Koreans on Monday, it became blind. Fortunately, the Korea Boxing Association received a conditional entry permit after close consultation with the IOC Boxing TF Team and the Jordan Olympic Committee.

When the Corona 19 test resulted in a negative voice, the national team was rushed to say that they could enter Jordan. It was for a while that the national team, who had agonized until the test results came out, was relieved. This is because Qatar Airways, a departed flight, braked on board just before departure on the 25th.

Fortunately, the Jordanian embassy managed to get on the plane, submitting an entry permit for the Korean boxing team to Qatar Airways. However, there was another problem at Qatar Doha Airport. The staff in charge of the procedure did not give me a boarding pass for a while saying, "I have not been contacted." The Korean Boxing Association urgently contacted the relevant authorities such as the embassy of Jordan, and at the end of the twist, the team managed to fly to Jordan with a 10 minute boarding deadline.
Our team has 13 men, 8 men and 5 women, who are looking for 6 tickets for 4 men and 2 women. Like Han Soo-an in 1948, he lost all of his camp before the tournament, but he said he couldn't sit down for the Tokyo Olympics. Kim Hyung-kyu (91 ㎏), a man's boxing heavyweight sign, said, “All of our athletes have trained really hard. I prepared for four years, believing that I could not come to the competition itself. I will come back without regrets. ”
The resolution of Ham Sang-myung (57 ㎏), the only player in both men and women, played in the last Rio Olympics. South Korea's boxing was in danger of failing to stage the Olympics for the first time in 68 years, with the exception of the 1980 Moscow Olympics, which were not part of the East-West Cold War since the 1948 Olympics. One of the athletes who passed through the Olympics was doped, so the naval ship got a dramatic Olympic ticket. This time, Hahm Sang-myung has won his own ticket and has been looking for medals at the Tokyo Olympics. His bones were clearly engraved.
Oh Yeon-ji (60kg class), a women's boxer, is determined to catch two rabbits, the first gold medals, at the same time. Women's boxing was first introduced during the 2012 London Olympics, while Korean women's boxing did not compete in London in 2012 or in Rio in 2016. Oh Yeon-ji, the only winner of the Jakarta Asian Games in 2018, is determined to wipe out the frustration of participating in the Rio Olympics four years ago and write a myth in Tokyo.
Jung Ju-hyung, a female 51kg class, dreams of becoming the first singer to compete in the Olympics. Jung Ju-hyung is a ballad singer who majored in practical music at the university and debuted as a singer after graduation. Two years after he started boxing as a sport in October 2017, he was amazed by boxing officials by attaching a Taegeuk mark.

Korean boxing was the “Aid Hyoja” event. After Han Soo-an won the first bronze medal in 1948, Korean sports won the first silver medal in the Olympic Games. At the 1956 Melbourne Olympics, the bantamweight Song Soon-Chun won the gold medal after losing to the East German player despite the prevailing game. In the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, Minds won a silver medal.

The first gold medal of the long-awaited boxing Olympics was won by Shin Joon-sup, who competed in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. In the finals, he defeated Virgil Hill of the United States, who had the advantage of a home ring, to the top of the podium. Later, Kim Gwang-sun (fly) and Park Si-heon (light middleweight) won two gold medals at the 1988 Seoul Olympics, two bronze medals at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, and one silver medal at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. In the 2000 Sydney Olympics, he won no medals, but harvested two bronze medals in Athens in 2004, one bronze medal in Beijing in 2008, and one silver medal in London in 2012.

Korean boxing, who had only one player in Rio and failed to win a medal, should regain their honor in Tokyo. The starting point, of course, is the Olympic qualifying round in Amman, Jordan. Our team has been sweating with a placard on the Jincheon Athletes' Training Center, which means that you can't reach your goal unless you are like a lunatic when doing something. After many twists and turns, the boxing team has entered the final stage of Amman, Jordan.
