Kim Min-seok, who was 19 years old in Pyeongchang four years ago, was an unknown player.



However, he was exhausted from the ice and climbed to 3rd place early and watched the remaining 6 players,



[SBS Broadcasting: Wow!

Gold Medal (?) (No, like gold) Bronze Medal!

(1,500m) First bronze medal in history!!] I became the first



Asian athlete to win a bronze medal in 1,500m.



And he did it again in four years.



The season ranking was 7th and it looked difficult to reach a medal, but they overturned expectations and climbed to 3rd place early this time, watching the remaining 8 players and finally cheering.

[Kim Min-seok/Speed ​​Skating National Team: I never imagined that it would be my first medal, but there was an unexpected incident (for the short track team), so I thought that I should be a strength to the Korean team too, and I prepared it in the future (for the Korean team) ) There are many events left, so I would appreciate it if you would support me until the end.]



Kim Min-seok's growth was also a series of shocks that exceeded expectations.



He started skating when he was 7 and grew terribly.



He wore his first Taegeuk mark at the age of 15, and at 18 he won two gold medals at the Sapporo Asian Games.
