Captain Jo Ha-yeon said, "Archery is an exercise in which you aim and shoot at your heart rather than a target, and it seems that we were lucky because all the team members took care of themselves and played happily in every game." She added, “All these honors go to Cho Sang-heum of the Robotics Department 19, who passed the individual premilitary round but could not advance to the final due the military enlistment. Thanks to you, Cheonwoon could play together.”
