The other South Korean pair Kim Sang-do and Gwon Da-yeong, who lost to Yang and Huang 16-6, took silver.
The 2022 International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) World Championships Rifle/Pistol have 32 direct Olympic quota spots on offer in eight disciplines, as a part of the qualifying pathway to Paris 2024.
Team China have already gained four berths from individual disciplines, including the men's and women's 10m air pistol, as well as the men's and women's 10m air rifle.
Yang and Huang had a solid opening, leading by 6-2 in the gold medal match. Kim and Gwon pulled two points back after a time-out, only to see their Chinese counterparts taking eight points in a row to surge ahead 14-4 before wrapping up the victory 16-6.
