Korea's top short track skaters competed for the 10 spots on their country's Olympic team in a two-phase selection competition where everyone had to compete twice in each distance. Olympic medallists Shim Suk-hee and Choi Min-jeong won the women's ranking, while Olympic medallist and former 500m world champion Hwang Dae-heon took the honours in the men's ranking.
