South Korean archers have been dominant in modern competitive archery, particularly in the Olympic recurve discipline, since the 1980s, thanks to a mixture of public interest, domestic competition, coaching for children, innovative coaching methods, significant funding and state-of-the-art facilities.[1][2][3][4] This is a partial list and timeline of archers from South Korea who have represented their country in international competitions.
