Skating on Feb. 6 (Korea time) at the Milan Ice Skating Arena, the South Korean duo scored 70.55 points, with 39.54 in technical elements and 31.01 in program components.
They placed seventh among 10 teams and earned four ranking points.
The team event is a nation-by-nation competition across four disciplines: men's and women's singles, pairs and ice dance. Points are awarded by placement in each segment (10 to 1), and the top five countries advance to the final (free skating and free dance) to decide the overall standings.
South Korea are competing in the Olympic figure skating team event for the first time since the 2018 Pyeongchang Games. With no pairs team, South Korea are entering only men's and women's singles and ice dance, making them the only team in the event missing a discipline.
Skating fifth overall, Lim and Kwon performed their rhythm dance to "Men in Black." In the sequential twizzles, the first required element, they received Level 4 and Level 3. Their pattern dance type step sequence was Level 1, and their midline step sequence earned Level 2 for each skater.
They completed a rotational lift at Level 4 and finished with a choreographic rhythm sequence at Level 1.
Madison Chock and Evan Bates of the United States won the segment with 91.06 points. France's Laurence Fournier and Guillaume Cizeron were second with 89.98, and Britain's Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson were third with 86.85.
