Cha Jun-hwan (Seoul City Hall) and Lee Hae-in (Korea University) will skate in the figure skating gala at the 2026 Milan-Cortina d’Ampezzo Winter Olympics.
The International Skating Union said it announced on Feb. 21 the seven women’s singles skaters selected for the gala, which will be held at 4 a.m. Feb. 22 (Korea time) at the Milan Ice Skating Arena in Italy.
The gala features medalists in men’s and women’s singles, pairs and ice dance, along with “special invitation” skaters chosen based on competition results and fan requests.
Lee was named as a special invitee after placing eighth in women’s singles with 210.56 points. Her gala music selection is the theme song from the Netflix animated series “K-Pop Demon Hunters.”
Cha, who finished fourth in men’s singles, had already been confirmed for the gala. His program is “Not a Dream,” performed by musician Song So-hee.
With Lee added, two South Korean skaters will take part in the figure skating gala.
