Kim and Jeong fell 8-2 to Britain’s Jennifer Dodds and Bruce Mouat on Thursday (Korea time) at the Cortina Curling Olympic Stadium in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, dropping to 0-4.
South Korea previously lost 10-3 to Sweden, 8-4 to Italy and 8-5 to Switzerland and remained at the bottom of the standings.
Ten teams are competing in mixed doubles, with each nation playing a round-robin schedule once. The top four advance to the semifinals and final to determine the medals.
South Korea trailed early, giving up two points in the first end and one more in the second for a 3-0 deficit. It scored one in the third, but allowed two in the fourth to fall behind 5-1.
In the fifth end, South Korea used its one-time power play, which allows the team with last stone to change the pre-set stone placement to try for multiple points. The move backfired, and Britain scored two more.
With the comeback out of reach, Kim and Jeong ended the match by shaking hands with their opponents.
Kim and Jeong are scheduled to face the Czech Republic at 10:35 p.m. Friday as they seek their first win.
