Cha Jun-hwan performed impeccable performance following the sad cello melody.
The first jump, the quadruple salco in the 4th round, was perfectly run and got a high bonus of 2.49 points.
The three consecutive jumps were impeccable, and the spins and steps were at the highest level of 4.
In the second half with a 10% bonus, he scored 91.15 with a neat triple accelerator.
Cha Jun-hwan, who placed 8th in the short program, is challenging the highest performance ever, surpassing the 14th place recorded by Jeong Sung-il in 1991.
If Cha Jun-hwan enters the top ten, Korean men's figures will secure two tickets to the Beijing Olympics.
