The powerful roar of Kim Je-deok, the 17-year-old 'youngest' archer, was a 'signal' announcing the birth of a new star.



Ansan, who surprised the world with the so-called 'Robin Hood Arrow', which split Kim Je-deok's 10-point arrow, achieved the feat of winning three gold medals at the Summer Olympics for the first time in history by swept from a mixed team to an individual event.

'Swimming genius' Hwang Seon-woo appeared like a 'comet'.

shone without a medal. 



Sang-hyeok Woo, who stood on the Olympic stage in a 'dramatic' way, writing the best record of his life on the official record deadline, literally flew in the sky. 



He broke the high jump Korean record for the first time in 24 years and climbed to fourth place, the highest ranking in Korean track and field history, excluding marathons.



The SBS video featuring Woo Sang-hyeok, who enjoys the competition confidently and cheerfully, has been played over 6 million times, and ranked 6th in the number of views among the contents of the Tokyo Olympics around the world.

was only three steps short of reaching the medal, 18-year-old Seo Chae-hyeon, who caught the world's attention with her bright energy, opened her own era by winning her first gold medal at the World Championships a month later.

the first medalist in Korean women's gymnastics history to the women's medalist after her father, Hong-cheol Yeo, Seo-jeong Lee, who wrote "The First History," and Yu-bin Shin, who emerged as the hope of Korean table tennis.



The rising stars in Tokyo are raising expectations for 2022.
