Kim Hyun-gyeom aims to become the first Korean male athlete to win a medal in the men’s free skating event held at the same venue on the 28th.

On this day, Kim Hyun-gyeom attempted his first acting assignment and made a big mistake.
As if he couldn’t overcome his nervousness, he fell while performing the triple axel, which involves three and a half turns.
He lost 4.00 points on this jump alone.
However, Kim Hyun-gyeom jumped up and started acting again bravely and neatly jumped on his second jumping task, a triple flip-triple toe loop combination jump.
The referee ruled that it was a quarter landing (when the jump rotation was less than 90 degrees), but it wasn’t bad.
Kim Hyun-gyeom, who regained his confidence, improved the perfection of his performance by performing the change foot camel spin at the highest level of difficulty, level 4.
Kim Hyun-gyeom enjoyed the stage afterwards.
The acting in the second half, for which 10% extra points were given, was perfect.
He performed the final jumping task, the Triple Lutz, cleanly, and performed the step sequence, flying sit spin, and change foot combination spin all at level 4, the highest level of difficulty.
