Kim Woojin was born on June 20, 1992, in Okcheon, North Chungcheong, South Korea. He developed an early talent for archery and pursued his education at Iwon Elementary School, Iwon Middle School, Chungbuk Physical Education High School, and Juseong University. Woojin quickly rose through the ranks, achieving the world number one ranking in 2011. His early career milestones include winning individual and team gold medals at the 2011 World Archery Championships in Torino, and an individual gold at the 2012 FITA Archery World Cup. Despite these successes, he was not selected for the 2012 Korean Olympic team.
Woojin made a significant return to the national team in 2015, becoming the first man since 1985 to win the World Archery Championships twice. In 2016, he competed at the Rio Summer Olympics, setting a world record in the men’s individual recurve qualifying round with a score of 700 out of a possible 720. Although his individual performance ended in an upset, he secured a team Olympic gold medal. His career continued to flourish with multiple World Cup Final and Asian Games gold medals. At the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics, he won another gold medal in the men’s team event and placed fifth individually.
His most recent achievements include a historic performance at the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics, where he earned an Olympic gold medal in the individual men’s event after a tiebreaker. This victory marked his fifth Olympic gold medal, surpassing previous records and establishing him as the most decorated archer globally and South Korea’s most successful Olympian across all sports. He also secured gold medals in the men’s team and mixed team events at the 2024 Paris Olympics, completing South Korea’s clean sweep in archery.
