Seon-
woo, who passed the first place by setting a world junior record in the preliminary round, raced leisurely while adjusting his pace in the semi-finals.
With the fastest reaction time of 0.6 seconds, he jumped into the water and kept pace with the players in the next lane without overdoing it.
Hwang Seon-woo, who took the touch pad for the fifth time in a fierce battle at the end, reached the final 6th overall with a record of 1:45.53, close to 1 second from the preliminary round.

Hwang Seon-woo was the third Korean athlete to reach the final in 9 years after Nam Yu-sun at the 2004 Athens Olympics and Park Tae-hwan at the Beijing and London Olympics.
In this event, where Park Tae-hwan won the silver medal for the second time in a row, he is expected to compete with Duncan Scott of England, who is the world's No.
