Is Cha injured?? It was never good, but the way he's bending down before he vaults into the 4S and 4T is more noticeable than before. Or it's supposed to help him "focus" idk.

ETA: Seriously lacks the speed towards the end of the SP for the music. Placing that combo spin there is a mistake, especially when he's doing it out of transitions that lead to a camel position.

He's been struggling since he left Orser. While he has had injuries contribute, I do think his coaches in Korea have changed his technique for the worse.

The ISU has an article about Yujae Kim and Yuseong Kim, fraternal twin sisters who have qualified for the JGP Final:

The Kim twins Yujae and Yuseong: Double power on and off the ice

It is not that unusual that siblings compete in Figure Skating. There are many successful brother-and-sister-teams in Ice Dance or Pair Skating, sometimes they are even twins. Some of these teams have also made it to the ISU Junior Grand Prix Final or ISU Grand Prix Final. But only once before...

P.S. I should probably add that some fans on Twitter have called out the ISU recently for posting AI content with errors and/or poor writing, so I can't vouch for this article, but hopefully it is giving some correct info (?).
