Perfoming without the weight of competition pressure, Min and Gamelin kicked off the show by skating to K-pop song “Lollipop.” At the end of the performance, the two threw candies and lollipops to the audience.
Other K-pop songs, Red Velvet’s “Red Flavor” and 2NE1’s “I am the Best,” were performed to by the pair Kim and Kam during the show.
Cha, who earned his best score at PyeongChang, skated to Galantis’ “Peanut Butter Jelly.”
Dressed in a Hanbok-like purple costume, Choi performed to Korean traditional song “Jeongseon Arirang Rapsody.”
North Korean pair Ryom Tae-ok and Kim Ju-sik wowed the audience by showing off lift and throw moves to the song “Nice to Meet You.”
