Im Dong-hyun broke his own 72-arrow mark of 696 by three points and also helped his nation to another record in the team shoot.
Im, Kim Bumbin and Oh Jin-hyek crushed the standing 216-arrow world record of 2,087 by 18 points.
The Korean trio took advantage of the perfect conditions claiming the top three seedings with Im leading the way on 699 points.
