From a child actor picking up skating for potential roles to a global sports icon, Cha\u2019s journey is a thrilling fusion of athletic prowess and artistic brilliance. At 23, he\u2019s gunning for his third Olympic appearance at the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Games while keeping the entertainment world buzzing with TV appearances and jaw-dropping fashion photoshoots. Buckle up as we dive into how Cha conquers these vibrant worlds, fueled by his own words and electrifying achievements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From Child Actor to Figure Skating Superstar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Born on October 21, 2001, Cha Junhwan burst onto the scene as a child actor, lighting up screens in commercials and K-dramas like&nbsp;<em>The Return of Iljimae<\/em>&nbsp;(2009). To level up his acting game, he mastered skills like swimming, piano, violin, and figure skating. \u201cSkating was just a tool to snag new roles,\u201d Cha revealed in an Olympics.com interview. But at seven, a school trip to a public rink changed everything\u2014he was hooked, swept away by the \u201cwind when [he] was skating.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That spark ignited a wildfire. Mentored by former South Korean Olympic skater Shin Hea-sook, Cha hit the competitive scene at 10, snagging the junior title at the 2011 South Korean Championships. Inspired by skating legends Evgeni Plushenko and Daisuke Takahashi, he chased technical and artistic greatness. By 2015, he stormed the junior international stage, dominating the Skate Canada Autumn Classic with a 30-point lead. His meteoric rise continued with a bronze at the 2016\u201317 Junior Grand Prix Final and his first senior national title in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Junhwan CHA (KOR) | Men Free Skating | ISU World Championships | Boston 2025 | #FigureSkating\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0jGGHSjRAQk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9 YouTube\/\u00a0Skating ISU<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cha\u2019s career is pure history in the making. He\u2019s the first South Korean man to medal at the World Championships (silver, 2023), conquer the Four Continents Championships (gold, 2022), and claim gold at the Asian Winter Games (2025), earning an exemption from South Korea\u2019s mandatory military service. With nine straight national titles (2017\u20132025), a bronze at the 2018\u201319 Grand Prix Final, and show-stopping performances at the 2018 and 2022 Winter Olympics, Cha is a global skating titan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Showman on Ice: Crafting Epic Stories<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cha\u2019s acting roots infuse his skating with a cinematic edge, making every performance a heart-pounding spectacle. \u201cSkating is the only sport where we can create our own story,\u201d he told Olympics.com. \u201cThat\u2019s a very special moment.\u201d His programs, crafted with choreographic geniuses like Shae-Lynn Bourne, are storytelling masterpieces, featuring iconic moves like the Ina Bauer, cantilever, and mesmerizing step sequences that grip audiences worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2022\u201323 season was Cha at his peak. For his short program, he unleashed a Michael Jackson medley, ditching his classical vibe for a bold, electrifying persona. His free skate to the&nbsp;<em>No Time to Die<\/em>&nbsp;soundtrack channeled his inner James Bond, earning raves from former coach Brian Orser, who dubbed the Michael Jackson program \u201csensational.\u201d At the 2023 World Championships in Saitama, Cha\u2019s flawless short program scored a personal-best 99.64, clinching a historic silver\u2014the first for a South Korean man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This season, Cha teamed up with Olympic ice dance champ Guillaume Cizeron for a show-stopping exhibition gala to Lo\u00efc Nottet\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Mr\/Mme<\/em>, pushing creative boundaries. He also reimagined Shoma Uno\u2019s 2016\u201317 free skate music, Astor Piazzolla\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Balada para un Loco<\/em>, delivering a fiery tango twist. \u201cGreat music lets skaters carve their own path,\u201d Cha said, doubling down on his unique vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite battling ankle and wrist injuries, Cha\u2019s grit is unstoppable. \u201cInjuries make it tough, but I still love figure skating,\u201d he shared with Olympics.com. His ankle, \u201c100 percent not great\u201d at the 2023 Skate Canada, is now 70\u201380% recovered, powering him to gold at the 2025 Asian Winter Games, where he outshone Japan\u2019s Yuma Kagiyama with a blazing 281.69 combined score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fashion: Slaying the Style Game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cha\u2019s on-ice charisma spills into fashion, where he\u2019s a red-hot star in South Korea\u2019s style world. With his youthful, K-pop idol vibes, he\u2019s rocked covers for&nbsp;<em>GQ Korea<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Vogue Korea<\/em>, and&nbsp;<em>Elle Korea<\/em>, and starred in slick clothing and cosmetics ads. His photoshoots, shaped by his team\u2019s creative genius, mirror his skating artistry. \u201cFashion and skating are both super creative\u2014they\u2019re totally linked,\u201d Cha declared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His on-ice costumes, designed by Bae Kyongsool since his school days, are pure fire. At the 2025 ISU Figure Skating Awards, his \u201cFate of the Clockmaker\u201d short program outfit\u2014a dramatic black look with clock motifs and flowing fabric\u2014scored a Best Costume nomination, perfectly capturing the program\u2019s time-bending theme. His Beijing 2022 costumes were equally iconic, blending elegance with storytelling swagger, cementing his status as a fashion trailblazer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Acting: Owning the Spotlight<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Skating may be his main stage, but Cha\u2019s acting flame still burns bright. His childhood roles paved the way for a dynamic entertainment career. He\u2019s lit up shows like&nbsp;<em>King of Mask Singer<\/em>&nbsp;(2020), flexing his singing and dancing chops and drawing K-pop idol comparisons. Fans call him the \u201cK-pop star stolen by figure skating,\u201d a testament to his magnetic charm. At the 2022 SBS Gayo Daejun, Cha delivered a skating performance that fused athletic precision with pure showbiz dazzle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His acting roots sharpen his ability to captivate, whether landing a triple Axel or shining on TV. \u201cI\u2019m the same person on and off the stage,\u201d Cha told Olympics.com, radiating authenticity. He\u2019s itching to dive deeper into dance, inspired by street dance shows, noting that \u201cdance and skating are similar.\u201d Expect future gala performances to blend skating with bold new artistic vibes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Juggling Worlds: Grit and Glory<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mastering skating, fashion, and acting demands next-level hustle. Cha\u2019s packed schedule\u2014crushing it at the 2025 Four Continents Championships (silver), World University Games (bronze), and Korean Nationals (gold)\u2014weaves seamlessly with photoshoots and TV gigs. His move from Toronto\u2019s Cricket Club, where he trained with Brian Orser, back to South Korea was a game-changer. \u201cCovid flipped everything,\u201d Cha said, citing logistical hurdles. Now training in Korea with choreographer Shae-Lynn Bourne, he\u2019s leveling up both technically and artistically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Injuries have pushed him to the limit, but Cha\u2019s focus on the 2026 Olympics\u2014where he aims to be the first South Korean man to medal\u2014is razor-sharp. His fifth-place finish at Beijing 2022, with a personal-best 282.38, set a new benchmark for South Korean men\u2019s skating, topping his 15th place at PyeongChang 2018. Commentator and ex-skater Kwak Min-jeong bets on Cha\u2019s quad-triple combos to land an Olympic podium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Future Is Electric<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Cha gears up for the 2025 World Championships in Boston, where he recently placed seventh, and the 2026 Olympics, his ability to dominate ice, style, and stardom makes him a force of nature. His gold at the Asian Winter Games proves his competitive fire, while his fashion and media presence amplify his cultural clout. \u201cI want to be an even better skater,\u201d Cha vowed post-Beijing 2022, a mission that fuels his every move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From a kid learning to skate for acting gigs to a global phenom spinning stories on ice, Cha Junhwan\u2019s journey is pure magic. With fans likening him to K-pop heartthrobs and actors like Song Kang, his star power knows no bounds. \u201cI just want to stay strong,\u201d he told Olympics.com. Whether nailing a quadruple Salchow, striking a pose for&nbsp;<em>Vogue<\/em>, or owning the TV screen, Cha Junhwan is redefining what it means to be a figure skating legend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By Vitalina Andrushchenko, Staff Writer<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cha Junhwan \u00a9 Pinterest Cha Junhwan, South Korea\u2019s dazzling \u201cfigure skating prince,\u201d is rewriting the rulebook, dominating the ice, slaying the fashion scene, and stealing the spotlight as an acting sensation.
