Kim Woo-jin presented the so-called 'perfect game' in the round of 16.
He advanced to the quarterfinals with an overwhelming game that scored all 10 points in all 9 shots up to the 3rd set.
Their opponent in the quarterfinals was the 20-year-old youngest member of Taiwan, Dang Zhijun, who met in the team final.
Objectively, Kim Woo-jin was one step ahead, but he suddenly swayed due to the burden.
He showed an uneasy appearance by shooting 8 points twice, and then lost 6-4.
Kim Woo-jin calmly accepted defeat.

first five gold medals in history and the last puzzle for winning all events twice in a row Although they didn't get it right, Korean archery showed off its power to sweep four gold medals for the second time in a row.
In the first mixed match, Kim Je-deok and Ansan, the two youngest children, announced the change of generations and lighted the future, and continued a golden wave with winning the women's team event 9 times in a row and the men's team event shoot-off.
And Ansan won the individual event, writing a new history of being the first to win three gold medals at the Summer Olympics.
