# South Korea at the 2008 Summer Olympics

South Korea competed (as Korea) at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China. This is a list of all of the South Korean athletes who qualified for the Olympics and their results. South Korea sent a delegation of 267 athletes to these games.
North and South Korea had initially intended to send a joint delegation to the Games, but were unable to agree on the details of its implementation. (See North Korea at the 2008 Summer Olympics.)
