Personal life

edit

Lim was born on September 22, 2005, in Seoul, South Korea.[1] He moved to Ontario, Canada as a young child, before moving back to South Korea in 2020.[3] Due to having spent most of his childhood in Canada, Lim is bilingual and able to communicate in both Korean and English fluently.[4]

Career

edit

Early career

edit

Lim began skating in 2014 while still living in Canada. Originally, Lim was interested in trying ice hockey, however, while attending a Canadian learn-to-skate program, CanSkate, one of the coaches convinced Lim to pursue figure skating as he appeared to be far more suited for the sport.[3] Lim would then begin training at the Hamilton Skating Club, where he was coached by Bryce Davison and Jennifer Jackson.[5][6]

He competed at the 2020 Canadian Junior Championships, where he finished sixth.[7] Following the event, Lim broke his ankle and the COVID-19 pandemic had began spreading to Canada. Due to the pandemic, all hospitals in Ontario had closed down and Lim was unable to access any rehabilitation centers. This prompted him to return to South Korea, where he would be able to receive medical treatment for his injury. Lim would ultimately decide to permanently remain in South Korea and represent the country.[3][8][9] Choi Hyung-kyung would become his new coach.[1]

Lim first began skating for South Korea during the 2021–22 figure skating season, finishing fourth at the 2022 South Korean Annual Ranking Competition and eighth at the 2022 South Korean Championships.[10]

The following season, Lim placed eighth at the 2023 South Korean Annual Ranking Competition and ninth at the 2023 South Korean Championships.[10] He was unable to compete internationally due to sustaining another broken ankle.[9][1] Following the 2022–23 season, Lim switched coaches from Choi Hyung-kyung to Chi Hyun-jung and Kim Jin-seo became his new coaches.[11][12]

2023–2024 season

edit

Competing at the 2023 South Korean ISU Junior Grand Prix Qualifiers, Lim finished third. Due to this placement, Lim was assigned to two events on the 2023–24 ISU Junior Grand Prix circuit. He won the silver medal at 2023 JGP Japan and gold at 2023 JGP Poland. These results allowed Lim to qualify for the 2023–24 Junior Grand Prix Final in Beijing, China. He then went on to compete on the senior level at the 2023 CS Denis Ten Memorial Challenge, where he won the gold medal.[2] He subsequently competed at the South Korean Annual Ranking Competition, placing fifth.[10]

At the Junior Grand Prix Final placed second in the short program but fourth in the free skater, dropping to fourth place overall.[2] Going on to compete at the 2024 South Korean Championships, Lim placed eighth.[10]

Getting selected as one of the three men's singles skaters to represent South Korea at the 2024 Four Continents Championships in Shanghai, China, Lim would finish thirteenth.[2]

2024–2025 season

edit

Lim started the season by competing at the 2024 CS Lombardia Trophy, where he finished eighth.[10]
