Kim Jeong-min (born January 6, 1992, in Seoul) is a South Korean curler from Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea.[1] He currently plays lead on the Seoul City Hall curling team skipped by Jeong Byeong-jin. While playing third for Jeong Yeong-seok, he represented South Korea at the 2021 World Men's Curling Championship.

Career

[edit]

Kim represented South Korea at four Pacific-Asia Junior Curling Championships from 2010 to 2013 with his teammates Jang Jin-yeong, Kim San, Seo Min-guk and Kim Woorammiroo. After missing the playoffs in 2010, the team won three consecutive silver medals in 2011, 2012 and 2013.[2]

In 2020, Jeong Yeong-seok skipped his Gyeonggi-do Curling Federation team to victory at the 2020 Korean Curling Championships.[3] This earned the team the right to represent South Korea at the 2021 World Men's Curling Championship in Calgary, Alberta. For the championship, the team altered their lineup, bringing Kim in play third on the team.[4] At the Worlds, they finished with a 2–11 record.[5]
