Lee Hae-in, who has emerged as a
beacon for South Korean women's figure skating, won the silver medal at the world championships. It is the first time a Korean player has won the World Championship in 10 years since Kim Yuna.

I'm a reporter.

Lee Hae-in, who won the gold medal at the Four Continents Games last month, the first time in 4 years since Kim Yuna,

soared nicely at the
World
Championships.

After neatly running the first jump double Axel-triple toeloop, Lee Hae-in picked up extra points in six jumps, including three consecutive triple Lutz-double toeloop-double loop jumps.

With a big smile on his face and a cheerful step, Lee Hae-in raised his hands to cheer and thank the crowd with a heart.

Lee Hae-in, who took first place in the free skate with 14.3 points, 6.147 points ahead of stingrays, won the silver medal with a personal best score of 32.1 points.

It is the first time in 95 years that a South Korean woman has won the world championship since Kim Yuna won the gold medal in 1.

[Lee Hae-in/Figure Skating National: I didn't expect a medal, I just wanted to show everything I had prepared in a good way, and I am so happy to win a medal after my sister Yeona.]

Seventeen-year-old prospect Kim Chae-yeon, who is making her first senior world championship appearance, finished sixth, giving Korea three spots in women's singles at next year's world championships.

After showing off his peak performance by finishing third in the short program, Cha Jun-hwan will attempt to become the first Korean male athlete to win a world championship medal in the free skate a short time later.
