Milestones

Was 17 years old when she made her Olympic debut at the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games on home soil, failing to advance to the finals. "I listened to Snoop Dogg's 'Young, Wild & Free' for my first run and Sam Smith's 'I'm Not the Only One' for my second run. I was so hyped up that I had a landing in my first run, so I tried to listen to calming songs in the second run, but ... (it didn't work). I feel relieved that the Olympic Games are over, but I also feel sad. I don't have any regrets because I executed the most difficult technique that I can do in my two-year career." (en.yna.co.kr, 19 Feb 2018)

Three top-20 finishes at three World Championships (2017-21).

Finished fourth at the 2017 Junior World Championships.

Has six top-10 World Cup finishes to date, including a fifth (2019) and sixth (2018) at Secret Garden.
