With how inconsistent Young's been looking this past season, I fear she would've made just as many if not more mistakes. I think any of them would be feeling the pressure of trying to get a third spot.

And if she falls on the big jumps, the rest of her skating doesn't hold up nearly as well as the others.
They are the worst fed, hands down. That stupid ranking competition annoys me like nothing else. Junhwan was still nursing an injury too. Gah.
Class Championships
May 13-16 at Uijeongbu Sports Complex Ice Rink
The competition is categorized by age groups in addition to the usual pre-novice/novice/junior/senior. Usually, elite skaters skip this spring competition, but it's possible a little more of them may show up this year.

No, they did well for a first Worlds. They just came up short of three berths. It always helps to have experience when you're trying to qualify; and the only way to get that experience, is to go to Worlds and get it. Korea's challenge is that all its young ladies are young & trying to gain that experience at the same time. Then there's so much competition at home that if you hit a rough patch while you grow a little, you can't make the team for the major internationals. Ultimately, I think that's OK. The young ladies are all gaining experience. It would have been great if Yelim could have gained that experience at Worlds last year & brought it with her into the competition this year, but considering that rinks were closed, I think Haein & Yelim did well. It wasn't as well as they are capable of, but you have to get that experience. (Back in 2013, it was Sotnikova & Tuktamysheva who missed the magic number of 13 at their first World Championships, and both ultimately did very well & proved their metal).
They absolutely did well for themselves but yes I was thinking about the 3rd spot and all these awesome Korean ladies.

Good idea to start competing as soon as possible since he is the one most likely to compete at Nebelhorn Trophy for the 2nd Olympic spot.
Can you post more info about this comp. when it becomes available... and would you like to start a thread for 2021-22 Korean domestic competitions in the Kiss & Cry section?
Yes, when the competition gets confirmed in May, I will start a thread for the 2020-21 Korean domestic competition.
June-hyoung LEE started a new career in musical theatre. Here is an official interview in Korean by a local media:
June-hyoung cleaned his SNS and changed the handles to a new stage name at the end of March, so his fans speculated his retirement.

Is he quite injured? Or no longer has ice time due to Covid? He has been a clear 2nd Korean man behind Cha Junhwan since 2018 - I would imagine he has a good chance to be sent to grab that 2nd spot at Nebelhorn, successfully do it, and head to Beijing.June-hyoung LEE started a new career in musical theatre.

He has a back problem due to a traffic accident in 2015 summer. Their car got hit from the back by another car. He felt OK at that time. Later he started having pains, which was never healed.
(ETD: I became not so sure of the timeline, whether the accident happened before the flight to Colorado for the Tom Dickson program or after. So I removed the corresponding text.)
According to a rumor or a speculation, he was thinking of retiring at this year's Korean National, but the pandemic did not allow him enough training opportunities.

I recommend checking out the Kiss & Cry thread with results and links to this weekend's videos.
Some of the notable final results as summarized by @seabm7 in the Kiss & Cry thread:Sihyeong Lee debuted his 2021-22 SP to Polovtsian Dances from ‘Prince Igor’ by Borodin, choreographed by Yeaji Shin, at this competition.
Sihyeong Lee is the leading contendor to be sent to Nebelhorn Trophy. At 2019 4CC, June Hyoung placed ahead overall between the two of them while Sihyeong finished 4 points ahead in the FS:
14 June Hyoung LEE KOR 188.10 16 14
15 Sihyeong LEE KOR 183.98 21 13
At 2020 4CC, Sihyeong placed ahead of June Hyoung:
14 Sihyeong LEE KOR 203.50 16 13
...
17 June Hyoung LEE KOR 198.95 14 17
Sihyeong Lee won the National Ranking competition in March 2021 (over Junhwan Cha) and this Korean article about Lee was published afterwards in which he talks about doing quads with both arms over his head ("There are a lot of players who do four-rotation jumps. But few players do four-rotation 'tano [Rippon] jumps. I wanted to differentiate myself. I have nothing to lose."):

The ice rink at Lotte World Adventure in Seoul will be closed from July until the end of 2021 due to a basement renovation.

This is an unfortunate news, since the ice surface is one of the major ice facilities in the metropolitan area and frequently used by elite skaters.

Re-posting this here from the Canadian Ice Dance news thread (good catch by @Rafter):
ETA that their Patinage Quebec profile also lists Benjamin Brisebois as one of their coaches (Quan was born in Iceland!): https://patinage.qc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/2020-2021_LimQuan_JuniorDanse.pdf
They placed 4th in Junior Dance at the virtual Challenge event that was broadcast in January 2021.
Lim & her partner Ye Quan were on the Skate Canada 2020-21 NextGen team, coached by Patrice Lauzon & Pascal Denis at IAM.

Young YOU and Seoyeon JI competed at the Broadmoor Open club competition in Colorado Springs yesterday and today. I've posted results & protocols links in the Kiss & Cry thread, starting here: https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/th...-qualifying-competitions.108356/#post-6015814
You won Senior Ladies group A with a total score of 213.05 (74.39 in SP with a clean 3A; 138.66 in FS with 6 triples landed, including 2nd half 3Lz+1Eu+3S & 3Lz+3T combos).

I think so? Does anyone know if she's attempted and/or landed a quad in Korean domestic competition?

Announcement on the JGP selection competition in Korean:
Date: July 29-30
Venue: Taereung Indoor Ice Rink
No official practice and no audience
Live streaming will be offered
ETD: Taereung Indoor Ice Rink is a training facility for the national team members, with ~100 audience seats. It's understandable they do not allow official practice time.

KSU says if the social distancing stays at either Phase 3 or 4, they will use the virtual format for the JGP selection competition. In such a case,
KSU will film each performance at Mokdong Ice Rink (the usual 4CC venue. Definitely more spacious than Taereung Indoor Ice Rink), and will judge the event at a separate facility.
The confirmation on the format will happen on July 26th.

KSU posted the qualification rules for the major international competitions:
In short,
The Olympic tickets are determined by the sum of the total points obtained at the ranking competition and the national championships.
In short,
- JGP selection competition (currently scheduled at the end of July)
- Nebelhorn and Winter Universiade selection competition (logically, should happen during August)
- Ranking competition - 4CC and Olympics (early December?)
- National championships - Senior Worlds, Junior Worlds, and Olympics (early January)
The Olympic tickets are determined by the sum of the total points obtained at the ranking competition and the national championships.
