Hello, this is Cha Junhwan.

After wrapping up last season, I spent a great deal of time thinking and deliberating about my future activities.

After much consideration, I have decided not to continue competing as a national team athlete or participating in competitions this season.

I have also concluded my contract with the Seoul Metropolitan Government team following thorough discussions with the city.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the officials at the Seoul Metropolitan Government for their trust and unwavering support throughout this time.

For now, I intend to give my best in the tasks currently before me while carefully contemplating the path I will take in the future.

I am truly grateful to everyone who has always cheered for me and given me strength. I look forward to greeting you again with a positive image.

Thank you.

Cha Junhwan is 25 too... It’s an age where it’s hard to improve one's results even if he keeps competing. Still, he’s a legend of Korean men's figure skating

He worked hard. I'll support him

Realistically, it’s not easy for a male figure skater to make a living in this country, so it looks like he’s weighing his career options. In any case, I’m rooting for him

It’s a shame he finished 4th at the Olympics, but since he isn't too old and has great looks, he’d likely be a good fit for dramas and variety shows. I’m rooting for his second act

He did it ㅠ Since he is now quite old for a figure skater, he's likely weighing his options for a different career path
