While BIG nationals are going on abroad, here in Korea is National Winter Games going through this weekend.
About Winter Games and other domestic competitions, see this what I've posted before.
I'll post the results of some younger generations categories and main categories with main skaters here.
Main skaters will compete through this Saturday and Sunday.

Actually, Junior grand prix selection event is more important than winter games, at least to figure skating fans in Korea.
Some elite skaters like Jun hwan Cha and So hyun An will not participate the winter games this year (they are not in the entries), becuz of their overseas training.
Top skaters like Young and Eun soo will participate this time but it's not that important to them, I think, maybe they think winter game just as one of domestic competition.
But winter game could be much important to younger skaters and some non-elite high school skaters who wants to go good university.
I heard that some univ. requires medals at big domestic events at admission test (or sth like that), and winter game really is a good chance to earn a medal.
Winter game's segments divide skaters A~D by their skating levels, and also as their age(elementary school to university students).
So, a non-elite high school skater who is in D(the lowest level) segment sure can earn a medal here, cuz she/he only has to fight with other non-elite skaters in high school D levels for medals.
Also winter games' results don't do anything for international events qualification.
Otherwise, 'Segmentation Competition' which will be held in one or two month later from now is much more important to international events qualification for younger skaters,
cuz now KSU selects skaters who to compete Asian Trophy based on the results of 1) Nationals of that year and if skater who don't have the results at nationals, in this case 2) Segmentation Competition of that year.
Younger skaters who are in Novice and Under-novice age cannot participate Nationals due to age limits, so they need a good results in Segmentation competition to earn a ticket for Asian Trophy (in Ad.novice and Basic novice A segment).
