Consisting of Kim Eun-ji, Kim Su-ji, Kim Min-ji, Seol Ye-ji, and Seol Ye-eun 'Team 5G' won the bronze medal at the 2025 Pan Continental Curling Championships (PCCC) in Virginia, Minnesota. In the bronze medal match against the U.S., he beat the U.S. 11 to 8 (11 ends in overtime). Through this medal, Korea once again proved its competitiveness on the international stage from the beginning of the 2025-2026 season.
The men's national team finished the competition in the final fifth place in the A-division. It has secured a berth to the 2026 World Men's Curling Championships. As a result of this, Korean curling has laid the foundation for the leap forward on the world stage, with both men and women making meaningful achievements on the continental selection stage.
This competition will be recorded as the last stage of the PCCC system. The World Curling Federation will abolish the existing continental qualification method starting next season. We introduce a new multi-layered (tier) World Championship qualification system. As a result, automatic advancement through regional competition results will disappear, and the platform system between each division will be applied. Korea also made meaningful achievements in the last PCCC, achieving a successful conclusion.
Based on the achievements confirmed through this competition, the Korean Curling Federation plans to strengthen the national team and prepare for international competitions. The men's national team will focus on tactical training in preparation for the World Championship, and the women's national team will begin training to strengthen teamwork to continue the momentum of winning medals.
