The skaters who will represent Korea next season in short track are now known. Choi Min-Jeong who finished second overall at the World championships and Lim Hyo-Jun, who was crowned overall world champion, had secured there place on the team with their results and will be back next season. The other skaters had to fight in a selection competition.
Kim Ji-Yoo and Noh Ah-Reum who had good results this season will both be back next fall while some past seasons members Kim Alang, Lee Yu-Bin and Noh Doh-Hee will be back on the team. Sixteen-year-old Seo Whi-Min who skated at the 2019 World junior championships in Montréal will make her national team debut in 2019-2020. Shim Suk-Hee wasn’t able to finish the selection competition due to an injury. The core of the men’s team is very similar from what we’ve seen in 2018-2019. Kim Da-Gyum, Park In-Wook and Kim Dong-Wook are the new guys on the team.
Note that the 1500m World cup classification winner Kim Gun-Woo and the 2018 olympian Kim Ye-Jin won’t be part of the team due to their suspension by the Korean Skating Union earlier this year.
