Each set consists of three arrows per archer. A set win is worth two points and a draw is one point. The first to six points wins the match.
Ki, who was trying to win her second straight individual gold medal, lost to compatriot Chang Hye-jin in the semifinals.
The third South Korean, Choi Mi-sun, fell to Valencia in the quarterfinals.
With a gold, Ki would have become the first archer to win two gold medals in back-to-back Olympics. Ki, Chang and Choi won the team gold medal in Rio last weekend. (Yonhap)
