Park Ji-won ranked second with a time of 2:19.400 in the men's 1,500m final of the first short track national competition in the 2024/25 season held at Mokdong Indoor Ice Rink on the 5th.

Kim Gun-woo won the championship with a time of 2:19.236.

Park Ji-won came up to the top of the group from the preliminary round to the semifinals, but fell behind Kim Gun-woo in the final and came in second.

Hwang Dae-heon passed first place until the quarterfinals, but failed to go to the finals, finishing in Group 3 and 5 in the semifinals.

The two clashed for two consecutive days at the 2024 International Skating Union (ISU) Short Track World Championships held at Ahoy Arena in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, sparking controversy over team kills. On March 17, Park Won and Hwang Dae-heon collided in the men's 1,500m final, and Park Ji-won finished at the bottom. The two athletes also collided in the men's 1,000m final held the next day, and Park Ji-won gave up the race as she was greatly shocked when she fell.

They also clashed in the final of the men's 1,000-meter race at the first ISU Short Track World Cup event in October last year. Park failed to win a medal again.

If Park Ji-won had won the gold medal at the world championships, she could have been automatically selected for the national team next season, but she failed to win a medal and passed the national team selection match to put on the national flag next season.

The Ice Federation formed an investigation committee with short track experts and others to confirm that "there was no intention at all, and there was no intention of team kill."

Meanwhile, Shim Suk-hee ranked first with a time of 2:55:675 in the women's 1,500-meter final. No. 2 was Noh Do-hee, and Park Ji-yoon was ranked third.

The short track competition will be held in three events: 500m, 1000m and 1,500m in both the first and second rounds. The top 24 players will advance to the second round of competition by adding up the performance of the three events in the first round of competition, while the top eight and seven men and women in the second round of competition will carry the Taegeuk mark, respectively.

In the women's team, Kim Ki-li won the gold medal in the 1,500m world championship and was automatically selected as a member of the national team.
