On the junior level, he is the 2015 Jégvirág Cup silver medalist, and a three-time Australian junior national champion (2014-2016).
He reached the free skate of the 2020 and 2022 Four Continents Championships.
In May 2024, the U.S. Center for SafeSport would ban fellow Australian men's singles skater, Brendan Kerry, from having any involvement in activities under the jurisdiction of the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee following a thorough investigation on claims of sexual misconduct.[1] In light of this, Min wrote a lengthy post on his Facebook, criticizing the lack of protective measures implemented in Australia to protect the safety of children in sport. In that same post, he also came forward, claiming to have been groomed by an adult from the figure skating world when he was still a child. Min also brought up the years of trauma he suffered throughout his figure skating career because of this.[2]
