After the match, Jin asked Choi about his experience fencing with him, to which the young athlete responded positively. Jin expressed his happiness at hearing the feedback.
Gu Bon Gil expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to fence with Jin and Harang, while Jin also mentioned it was an honor to film with the national representatives and compete with a potential future gold medalist.
