He has won the Gold Medal in 2018 Korea Open held at Daejeon, South Korea without even having been a seeded player at the start of the tournament.[6] He became the first-ever ITTF World Tour triple crown winner in this event as well by also winning Gold Medals in Men's Doubles and Mixed Doubles.[6]

Jang Woojin will be representing South Korea at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics after qualifying by virtue of being the highest ranked Korean player.[7] In March, Jang played in the WTT Star Contender event at WTT Doha, but he suffered a disappointing round of 32 exit to Ruwen Filus.[8]

Jang lost 4-3 to Hugo Calderano in the round of 16 in the men's singles event in the Tokyo Olympics.[9]
