Ha Seung-youn (born May 19, 2000) is a South Korean curler from Uijeongbu.[1] She currently plays third on the South Korean Junior Women's Curling Team skipped by Kim Min-ji. The team won silver medals at the 2020 World Junior Curling Championships.

Career[]

Ha joined Team Kim in 2019. The team lost the final of the 2019 Korean Women's Curling Championship in June 2019 to the Gim Un-chi rink after Kim missed her last shot and gave up a steal of two in the tenth end.[2] The team won the Tour Challenge Tier 2 event Grand Slam of Curling event after a strong 9–2 win over Jestyn Murphy.[3] This qualified them for the Canadian Open in Yorkton, Saskatchewan. There, they defeated higher ranked teams such as three time Scotties champion Rachel Homan, 2013 world champion Eve Muirhead and 2020 Scotties champion Kerri Einarson. They made it all the way to the final before losing to the Anna Hasselborg rink in an extra end.[4] They also made it all the way to the final of the 2020 World Junior Curling Championships, where they lost to Canada's Mackenzie Zacharias. On the World Curling Tour, they won the Boundary Ford Curling Classic, finished fourth at the inaugural WCT Uiseong International Curling Cup, made the quarterfinals at the Red Deer Curling Classic and missed the playoffs at the 2019 Curlers Corner Autumn Gold Curling Classic and the 2019 Canad Inns Women's Classic.

The Kim rink began the abbreviated 2020–21 season at the 2020 Korean National Women's Curling Championship. There, they qualified for the playoffs with a 5–1 record before losing both of their playoff games to the Kim Eun-jung and Gim Un-chi rinks, settling for third.[5] Later that season, Team Kim competed in the only two Grand Slam events of the season, which were played in a "curling bubble" in Calgary, Alberta, with no spectators, to avoid the spread of the coronavirus.[6] The team missed the playoffs at both the 2021 Champions Cup and the 2021 Players' Championship.
