Date: 10.10-11
Venue: Gimhae Arts and Sports Center Community Sports Ice Rink

This is a competition held to determine the skaters who will represent South Korea at the Universiade and Asian Winter Games. Up to 3 women, men, and ice dance teams can be sent to Universiade and up to 2 women, men, and ice dance teams can be sent to the Asian Winter Games. As of now I'm not quite sure whether different skaters will be sent to each event, will update after clarifications are available (the KSU's website is down in this moment in time :palmf: ). Universiade has age restrictions (has to be born in between 2000 and 2007) but none of the entries as of writing are age ineligible.
Edit: I somehow missed the 'be an university student' bit for Universiade :palmf: To be eligible an athlete has to be enrolled in an university or to have graduated in 2024, so for Universiade the following skaters are eligible:
Men: Cha Junhwan, Lee Sihyeong, Cha Younghyun, Kim Hangil
Women: Choi Dabin, Kim Yelim, Wi Seoyeong

Time schedules and starting orders will be posted before the competition begins, livestream links will also be posted when they are found.

Preliminary Schedule (KST, +9 UTC)
10.10 - SP/RD, 12:30 - 14:30
10.11 - FS/FD, 12:30 - 15:00

Preliminary Entries
Ice Dance: Hannah Lim / Ye Quan WD
Men: Kim Hangil, Kim Hyungyeom, Lee Sihyeong, Lim Juheon, Cha Younghyun, Cha Junhwan
Women: Kim Minchae, Kim Seoyoung, Kim Yelim, Kim Chaeyeon, Song Siwoo, Wi Seoyeong, Yun Ahsun, Choi Dabin

In the next episode of "KSU what the actual f- is this", Hannah and Ye are in Korea right now and are waiting for KSU to answer back to discuss their participation in the selections :dbana: :dbana: :dbana: Literally what the f- KSU they are supposed to be in Budapest tomorrow if they can't do selections how can you make them rush to the airport at the last minute/make them withdraw at the last minute like this this is so f-ed up I can't
This has happened, so maybe Hannah and Ye are withdrawing their withdrawal???? This is top notch KSU behavior I seriously cannot

Edit: so according to fans on twitter it looks like Hannah and Ye were not notified of their withdrawal????????????? KSU just went like "Citizenship still not obtained? Well then they can't go to the Asian Games now let's just withdraw them from selections by ourselves"????????????? I want to scream and/or go bomb the KSU literally what the

Update: according to twitter reports Hannah and Ye are cleared to compete at selections, however it's for getting feedback from judges and not for competing at the Asian Games (citizenship issues are still a thing). They're still trying to find ways to be an exemption and compete at the AG but I doubt it's going to happen... (cue sighs and sobs) The schedule currently posted on KSU's website shows no time allotment for ID, I've posted the original time schedule with the ID time slots but it's not official so it's marked as tentative.

Links for livestreams are not up yet, I'm assuming they'll be posted some time during tomorrow (KST). Will post the link as soon as it appears.

Oh my god Minchae just did a 3Lz3T

Yelim is so far popping her lutzes when she goes to do her 3-3... oh a 3Lz at last but no combo

Yelim did a 2A3T! Change of layout incoming I think... 3T2A? Wha?

I pray that Yelim got her 3-3 back and we'll get to see it tomorrow

Morning practice soon to begin, when is KSU going to post the stream link...

I swear they use the same K-pop playlist every single session for every single domestic competition I can probably list the whole list by this point

Hannah and Ye on the ice, they are very sparkly and Hannah's dress is more peach than wine live

RT: Ye lost balance at the end of the second set of twizzles, skippled midline steps, that lift is so so good

This rink has way too few bathrooms seriously

The KnC has duck mascot stuffies (mascots for Gimhae) and they are very cute
