He is the 2016–17 Junior Grand Prix Final bronze medalist, two-time South Korean national champion (2017, 2018), and a two-time (2012, 2013) South Korean national junior champion. He placed 5th at the 2016 Youth Olympics, 7th at the 2016 World Junior Championships and 5th at the 2017 World Junior Championships.

Personal life

Cha was born on October 21, 2001 in Seoul.[2] He has worked as a child actor, model, and ballet dancer.[3][4] His brother is four years older.[5]

Career

Cha began skating at the age of seven,[6] during a school excursion.[5] His first coach was Shin Hea-sook.[4] His skating idols were Evgeni Plushenko and Daisuke Takahashi.[7]

Early career

Cha placed fourth as a junior skater at the 2011 South Korean Championships. In 2012, he won the junior level at the South Korean Championships. In the 2012–13 season, he took the novice gold medal at the Asian Trophy and repeated as the junior champion at the South Korean Championships. At the 2014 Korean Championships, he placed fifth at the senior level. This was his first senior experience at national championships.

During the 2014–15 season, Cha won the novice gold medal at the Merano Cup and the senior bronze medal at the South Korean Championships. In March 2015, he began training in Toronto under Brian Orser to improve his jumps, including the triple Axel and quads.[8]

2015–16 season: Junior international debut

Making his junior international debut, Cha won gold at the 2015 Skate Canada Autumn Classic by over 30 points. Competing with an ear infection at the 2016 South Korean Championships, he repeated as the senior national bronze medalist.[9] In February, he represented South Korea at the 2016 Winter Youth Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway, placing 4th in the short program, 5th in the free skating, and 5th overall. In March, Cha competed in Debrecen, Hungary at the 2016 World Junior Championships, placing 7th in the short program, 6th in the free skating, and 7th overall.

2016–17 season

In the 2016–17 season, Cha made his Junior Grand Prix debut at the JGP Japan. He performed a clean short program except for his flying camel spin, which got a level 2. He received 79.34 points, which put him in second place. In the Free program, he skated clean except for an under-rotation on his triple Salchow. He was the last skater in the free skate, placing first by scoring another personal best of 160.13 points, and set a new world record of 239.47 points for junior men's combined total score.

Cha won his first national title in January 2017, at the South Korean Championships.[10][11]

2017–18 season

Cha won his second national title in January 2018, at the South Korean Championships. Having accumulated the highest point total across the three qualifying events, Cha was selected to represent South Korea at the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea.[12]
