South Korea's 200m silver medalist Hwang Seon-woo was the number one swimmer and defeated the baseline.
Seon-woo Hwang took the lead from the beginning with an overwhelming speed, and she was the first to run the 200m.
As the second runner, Woo-min Kim, gave up the lead from the 300m, he bumped into the wall of the world and started to be pushed back little by little, but Lee Yoo-yeon, who came in third, and Ho-jun Lee, the last runner, played a full role.
When Hojun Lee took the last touchpad in 6th overall, the players who checked the electronic board jumped and rejoiced.
With a record of 7 minutes 06 seconds 93, the Korean record recorded in the preliminary round was reduced by 1 second 56, and again, a new history was written.
In the relay, where four athletes had to have even skills, they broke new Korean records one after another.
In the race, the swimming powerhouse USA took the gold medal with a time of 7:00.24, Australia took the silver medal, and England took the bronze medal.
The record difference between 6th place Korea and 3rd place England was 2 seconds 93.
As China stayed in 8th place, 4 seconds behind us, the men's swimming dream of winning the first gold medal in the team event at the Hangzhou Asian Games next year was also inflated.
