Composed of Osanguk and Park Sangwon (both from Daejeon City Hall), Do Kyungdong (Daegu City Hall), and Hwang Heegeun (Korea Armed Forces Athletic Corps), the men's sabre team secured victory at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games by defeating Japan 45-44 in the team finals held on the 26th at Aichi Sky Expo in Tokoname, Aichi Prefecture, Japan.


With this event, the Korean delegation claimed its 15th gold medal of these Games.

Osanguk, who successfully defended his individual title on September 23, achieved double gold for the second consecutive Games by joining his teammates to win the team event as well.
