There will be 2nd test skating of 2015 this Sunday at Taereung Ice rink. (They do this 4 times a year)
Many skaters are going to participate to get levels.

KSU divided skating levels as pre, and 1 to 8.
Skaters don`t need to test twice if they once get the level, but they have to get all levels step by step.
Only skaters who get higher than level 7 can participate junior grand prix qualification event, which will be held on August 1~2.
And skaters of level 5~6 can participate as junior in Nationals, and 7~8 can participate as senior in Nationals regardless of their age.

KSU recently enhance the criteria to get those levels.
Skaters have to perform 2 kinds of triple jumps among 3Lz, 3F, and 3Lo to get level 7. And they have to perform free skating with ISU senior rules, including double axel, two kinds of triple jumps and one 3-2. Men is same as above, but they have to perform 3-3 rather than 3-2, and 3 kinds of triple jumps in their free skating.

To get level 8, women should perform 3 kinds of triple jumps and one 3-3 jump, which is different kind of jump they perform solely. They also have to do 3 kinds of triple jumps and one 3-3 in their free skating. Men should do 4 kinds of triple jumps and one triple axel.

At Sunday`s test skating, Hyun soo Lee (2015 nats junior champion) will challenge for level 7, and Young You (S6) will challenge for level 8. Also, Yun kyung Kam, Seo Young Shin will challenge for level 6.

17 skaters are going to participate for level 5, 11 are for level 6, 7 are for level 7, and 3 are for level 8.

I'm wondering who we might see shot up in Korean figure skating like Yerim, next season. A skater who isn't coached by the big 3 (Shin, Jung, and Ryu) but has the technical merit to beat SY's TES. I would prefer for that skater to have better jumping skills though. Yerim's jumps do make me worry since she relies on fast rotation and not a lot of height.

Level 7. Hyun soo Lee, Su hyun Kim, Min seo Yoon (3 out of 7 Qualified)

Level 6. Yun kyung Kam, Seo young Shin, Ye joo Oh, Eun seo Lee (4 out of 10 Qualified)

Now Su hyun Kim and Min seo Yoon get qualification to participate Junior grand prix qualification event on early August.
I think Hyun soo Lee is not eligible yet.
