2023-2024 South Korean Figure Skating

[Paulipau]

Hi guys, I wanted to watch this morning but it seems like the stream cuts off all the top girls and goes straight to award ceremony? Is there anywhere else I can watch?

The last group was broadcasted by KBS, fancams will soon appear though

Edit: JewelskatersCross and HeeYuHee will be uploading

Edit 2: If it's not geoblocked KBS has already uploaded their coverage here: https://vod.kbs.co.kr/index.html?so...te_yn=N&local_station_code=00&section_code=02

NT reserve team women should be this: Hwang Jeongyul, Ko Nayeon, Lee Hyorin, Han Heesue, Choi Dabin, Kim Seoyoung, Park Eunbi, Jang Harin, Kim Jiyu

But the math might be off and KSU might give me a surprise so no guarantees here

thanks for the updates!

@Ichatdelune , I always appreciate you keeping us up to date on the skaters from South Korea, thank you.

Am I correct in reading that You Young is not on the Main or the Reserve Team?

She got worlds. Everyone else was too "Young"

 

[Ichatdelune]

A tiny thing that I wanted to mention: KSU is sending 4 skaters (Kim Yesung, Kim Jiyu, Jang Harin, Park Inkyong) to a short term training camp in Canada soon, I don't know to which team in Canada but hopefully someplace that'll do good for our skaters.

Some lovely bit of fluff: Minchae got a new FS choreographed by my darling squirtle Eunsoo!!! I am kinda sad because Brahms was great and I kinda wanted her to keep it but I hope my darling squirtle did a good job with Minchae and La terre vue du ciel (the music)

 

[Ichatdelune]

My darling squirtle Eunsoo is being quite the prolific choreographer this season, skaters who have gotten choreo from her so far:

- Minchae, FS (La terre vue du ciel)
- Chaeyeon, EX (L'Amour, Les Baguettes, Paris) (song by Korean singer Stella Jang)
- Seoyeong (Wi), EX (Hallelujah)
- Eun, SP (Bla Bla Bla Cha Cha Cha)

And a skater whose name I'm not familiar with (Ryu Hyorin), who I assume to be a novice coached by coach Choi, also got a FS from her. I will forever miss my darling squirtle on the ice but I am happy that she's still making use of her talents in figure skating

When is Jia turning senior? They changed all the ages, I’m confused now!!!

When is Jia turning senior? They changed all the ages, I’m confused now!!!

In the next Olympic season, 2025/26.

Just add 17 years to the birthyear of any skater who isn't senior-eligible yet (if their birthday is before July 1st, 18 if it's after) and there you have it.

Thank you!!! That is a very helpful tip!

 

[fehervari]

actually, what about Min Yura, the "athlete role model" of the ISU? has she completely fallen out of favor with KSU?

 

[brakes]

Can you teach a skater arms like Jia's?
I don't think so, either you possess that innate grace or you don't.

After the results of these Junior Worlds (huge congrats to Minkyu and Jia), does Korea have 2 spots at all 7 JGP events next season?

I'm wondering if they even have the men to be filling these spots up, if Hyungyeom is turning senior.

Yes, in singles. Please see this post about the women: https://www.goldenskate.com/forum/t...-womens-free-skate.97840/page-19#post-3261920
Korea did even better in men, so it will apply as well.

 

[TallyT]

Minkyu and Jia were both brilliant.

 

[Daniel1998]

According to her blog, Yelim is keeping both programs for next season. She likes them both a lot and feels she wasn't able to perform them the way she wanted this season. She is working with David Wilson and Sandra Bezic on making refinements to the choreography.

I'm happy for this, I like both her programs.

Whether Hyungyeom goes full senior or not will depend on senior GP assignments, if he gets a GP (or two) he will move up, otherwise he's doing another mixed season. Even if he gets a senior GP there's still Juheon (last junior season), Minkyu, Jaekeun, and Habin, plus Donghan (who will almost certainly get his 7th level before JGP selections) so that's at least 5 junior eligible men. If some of the 6th level boys like Jaewook or Yesung or Taehwan (or with a miracle, Aaron) manages to get a 3-3 and their 7th level in time we will have enough men to use all 14 tickets.

Last year, didn't the KSU return some of their junior men slots? I don't know if I am misremembering, but it felt like they wanted their men to compete for the slots, and they didn't use as many slots as were available to them.
