SK Telecom (SKT) held a medal ceremony on October 7 at the SKT Tower in Seoul, honoring athletes from 'Team SKT' who won medals at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games.
The event featured eight medalists, including fencers Oh Sang-wook, Do Kyung-dong, Song Se-ra, and Jeon Ha-young, as well as track athlete Namadi Joel Jin, basketball player Eddie Daniel, modern pentathlete Shin Soo-min, and weightlifter Park Hye-jung, alongside SKT staff.
During the ceremony, the athletes presented their award jackets, worn on the Asian Games podium, to SKT CEO Jeong Jae-hun as a gesture of gratitude for the support received throughout the competition.
They also received a framed 'National Support Flag,' signed by the athletes, which contained messages of encouragement from the public during the team's send-off ceremony in August. This symbolizes the support that transformed into medals.
Team SKT collectively earned 20 medals at the event, including five gold, eight silver, and seven bronze. Notably, SKT's self-developed fencing AI analysis system, 'SKT-FAN,' played a crucial role by automatically identifying scoring moments in match footage and analyzing individual movements, contributing to 10 fencing medals.
Oh Sang-wook, who won two gold medals in men's sabre, stated, 'Thanks to the encouragement captured in the flag and the AI analysis system, I was able to achieve good results. I am happy to repay SKT, which has consistently supported me, and everyone who cheered for us with these medals.'
