The 2024 Korean Mixed Doubles Curling Championship (branded as the 2024 KB Financial Korean Mixed Doubles Curling Championship), Korea's national mixed doubles curling championship, was held from July 20 to 28 at the Jincheon National Training Centre in Jincheon, South Korea.[1] The winning pair of Kim Kyeong-ae and Seong Ji-hoon became the Korean National Team for the 2024–25 curling season. They will represent Korea at the 2025 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada and the 2025 Asian Winter Games in Harbin, China. Through regional qualifiers, the field was narrowed down from over fifty teams to twenty-one who competed in the national championship.[2] The preliminary round was held in a round robin format which will qualify the top eight teams overall for the playoff round.[3] For the first time in championship history, players from different regions were able to compete together, forming a composite team. Notable examples of this included Gangwon's Park Jong-duk competing in Seoul, Chuncheon's Yang Tae-i competing in Gyeongbuk and Gyeongbuk's Kim Chang-min competing in Gangwon, though he did not qualify for the national championship.
Two-time defending champions Kim Ji-yoon and Jeong Byeong-jin returned to try to win a third straight title after placing second in the Seoul qualifier. The 2023 runner-up pair of Kim Hye-rin and Yoo Min-hyeon also qualified after finishing third in the Gangwon qualifier. Other notable participants included both Kim Min-ji and Seol Ye-ji, members of the number three ranked women's Gim Eun-ji rink, pairing up with Park Jin-woong and Kim San respectively. Kim Cho-hi and Kim Kyeong-ae, both members of the Kim Eun-jung Gangneung rink competed with their respective partners Lee Ki-bok and Seong Ji-hoon while Yang Tae-i and Kim Soo-hyuk formed a composite team competing out of Gyeongbuk.
The three teams that qualified out of the Gangwon all reached the podium.
