Career
He is the World Record holder for 1500m and 3000m. He quieted critics of his placement on the team by performing well at the 2011 Asian Winter Games, but struggled against experienced skaters at international events during the 2010-2011 International Skating Union Short Track Speed Skating World Cup, where technical aspects such as positioning skills are considered essential. Overcoming his performances during the World Cup season, he dominated at the 2011 World Short Track Speed Skating Championships, winning gold in every race except the 500 m, where he did not qualify for the quarterfinals.
He would compete on 2014 Sochi Olympics, but ruled out of the Olympicsdue to a broken elbow.
Upon further inspection, he had a five-inch malignant tumor in his shoulder.
