Cho Hye-jin (; born November 30, 2005) is a Canadian-South Korean pair skater who represents South Korea. With her former skating partner, Steven Adcock, she is the 2023 South Korean champion.
In 2022 September, coach Andrew Evans announced Steven Adcock and Cho as a new pair team for South Korea.
Cho and Adcock debuted at the 2023 South Korean Championships and won, as they were the only pair team. After South Korea qualified to the 2023 World Team Trophy, the first time the nation had reached the event in its history, Cho/Adcock were named to the team as the pairs entry. They finished sixth in both segments of the competition, while Team South Korea won the silver medal. This made Korea only the fifth country to reach the podium at the event. Adcock said that the team's priority over the summer was working to add a second triple throw to their free program.
Cho and Adcock ended their partnership two weeks later after 2023 World Team Trophy due to Adcock electing to retire as a result of a longtime back injury.[1] [2]
In July 2023, it was announced that Cho had teamed up with Australian pair skater, Harley Windsor and that they would be representing South Korea together.
