My Take
Kim Yu-seong is a young figure skater I am keeping a very close eye on, and you should too. Born in 2009, she has already stacked up five Junior Grand Prix medals, including the silver at the 2025-26 Junior Grand Prix Final, and she took the South Korean junior title in 2023. Stepping up to win senior national silver in 2026 at her age signals a serious trajectory. South Korea has a deep pipeline of women's skating talent, and she looks like the next name set to break through. I love watching skaters at this stage, when the potential feels almost limitless.
