South Korean riders qualified for a maximum of three quota places in the men's Olympic road race by virtue of their top 4 national ranking in the 2015 UCI Asia Tour.

Following the completion of the 2016 UCI Track Cycling World Championships, South Korean riders have accumulated spots in the men's team sprint and men's omnium. As a result of their place in the men's team sprint, South Korea assured its right to enter two riders in both men's sprint and men's keirin. Although South Korea failed to win a quota place in the women's team sprint, they managed to claim a single place in the women's keirin, by virtue of their final individual UCI Olympic rankings in that event.

Shooting

{{main article|Shooting at the 2016 Summer Olympics}}

South Korean shooters have achieved quota places for the following events by virtue of their best finishes at the 2014 and 2015 ISSF World Championships, the 2015 ISSF World Cup series, and Asian Championships, as long as they obtained a minimum qualifying score (MQS) by March 31, 2016.{{cite web|url=http://www.issf-sports.org/competitions/ogqualification/quota_places_by_nation_and_number.ashx|title=Quota Places by Nation and Number|date=30 May 2016|website=www.issf-sports.org/|publisher=ISSF|access-date=30 May 2016}} To assure their nomination to the Olympic team, shooters must compete at two separate legs of Olympic Trials: air gun (March 14 to 18) in Naju and small-bore (March 30 to April 10) in Daegu.

A total of 17 shooters (eight men and nine women) were selected to the South Korean roster, with Jin Jong-oh aiming to defend the Olympic title in the men's air pistol at his fourth straight Games. Among the shooters also featured London 2012 champion Kim Jang-mi (women's 25 m pistol) and silver medalist Kim Jong-hyun (men's 50 m rifle 3 positions).

With Jin Jong-oh securing quota places in both men's air and free pistol as a double starter, the South Korean team decided to exchange one of them with an additional spot in the women's 10 m air rifle instead based on performances throughout the qualifying period. The slot was awarded to Park Hae-mi.{{cite news|last=Yun|first=Eun-young|title=박해미 바쿠 월드컵 女 10m 공기소총 동메달|trans-title=Park Hae-mi wins bronze medal in the 10 m air rifle at the WC Baku Cup|url=http://sports.khan.co.kr/news/sk_index.html?art_id=201606242230003&sec_id=530101|publisher=Kyunghyang Shinmun|date=24 June 2016|access-date=24 June 2016}}
