Cha Jun-hwan, who ranked 19th out of 22 competitors, began the performance to the melody of the free skate "Balada para un Loco" (Love Song for a Madman). He completed the first project perfectly, the difficult Sakhov quadruple jump, with a base score of 9.70 and a GOE score of 3.60. But in the subsequent quadruple jump, he missed the beat and handled it as a quadruple jump, losing nearly 10 points on this jump alone. Cha Jun-hwan did not waver, continued the performance calmly, and perfectly performed the triple jump-triple triple combination jump and the triple triple triple triple with three and a half turns.
