Gyeong Jae-seok has been active as a national team member for about two seasons since 2021. Since the 2016-17 season, he has won the President’s Cup Ranking Competition at the junior level and finished runner-up in the General Championship. Since then, he has been consistently active, recording mid to high grades in competitions such as the Junior Grand Prix.
In the 2020-21 season comprehensive championships, he ranked 5th and entered the national team for the first time in his life, and in the next season (2021-22 season) he won a bronze medal at the comprehensive championships and maintained the Taegeuk mark with Korean figure skating ace Cha Jun-hwan (Korea University). However, this year, he failed to qualify for the national team, which is given to the top four players, by placing 5th overall in the President’s Cup Ranking Competition and the Overall Championship. Following Cha Jun-hwan, Lee Jun-hyung, and Lee Si-hyeong, he is a player who continues the lineage of male figure skating in Korea
Wi Seo-young, who set the record for the first time, is the first Korean female athlete to break the total score of 170 points in her debut at the Junior Grand Prix, and is the first Korean female athlete to break the short technical score (TES) of 40 points after Yuna Kim.
She placed 1st at the 2018 Overall Championships Junior, 2019 Types Championships Seniors 1st, 2022 CS Nebelhorn Trophy 2nd, etc. She is currently active as a promising Korean female figure skater following Kim Yu-na along with Yoo Young and Kim Ye-rim.
