The medals, designed by industrial designer LEE Suk-woo, are about nine centimeter in diameter and weigh between 493 gram (bronze) and 586 gram (gold). The front side shows the Olympic rings with a background of diagonal lines. The reverse side shows discipline, event and the PyeongChang 2018 emblem, while the official title of the PyeongChang 2018 Games is written on the sides of the medals, also in three-dimensional Korean Hangul consonants.
The teal and light red medal ribbon is made from the traditional Gapsa textile of Korea, embroidered with Hangeul patterns and other Korean designs. ©RWH2017
