Time now to take a look at what's been happening in the world of sports.
Joining us in the studio is our sports editor Paul Neat.
Hello, Paul.
Hello.
Let's start with football.
Tottenham Hotspur have begun to find form again, and so too has the club captain Son Heung-min.
Yes, Son on Saturday laid on two assists for Spurs in their 4-1 win over Ipswich Town.
Son is on nine assists for the season now with six goals.
This takes Son to 71 assists in the Premier League.
With 126 goals, he has become only the 11th player in English Premier League history to record at least 70 goals and 70 assists.
It's also the ninth season that Son has been involved in at least 10 goals.
Elsewhere in Europe over the weekend, Lee Kang-in got an assist in Paris Saint-Germain's 3-2 away win over Lyon on Sunday.
He came off the bench to tee up Achraf Hakimi to make it 3-1 five minutes from time.
PSG are 13 points clear at the top of the table.
And in Germany, Lee Jae-sung on Saturday bagged one goal and one assist in Mainz's 2-0 home win over St. Pauli.
Mainz sit as high as fifth and are in contention for a place in Europe next year.
Sticking with football for the time being.
South Korea's under-20 team is through to the semifinals of the AFC Under-20 Asian Cup.
Yes, they beat Uzbekistan on penalties on Sunday to secure a place in the last four.
It was a game that saw Korea come from behind to then lead, but then find themselves pegged back.
Uzbekistan took the lead on 18 minutes, but two goals from Shin Min-ha turned the game on its head.
Kim Tae-won then made it 3-1 just after the hour mark.
But then Uzbekistan hit back with two goals after the 90 to force extra time and then penalties.
Kim Tae-won, Kim Ho-jin, and Ha Jeong-woo scored their penalties to secure a 3-1 shootout win.
Korea face Saudi Arabia on Wednesday at 5:15 PM Korea time.
Australia and Japan are the two other semifinalists.
Reaching the semis also means South Korea have secured a place in the under-20 World Cup in September this year.
And finally, to figure skating, medals for some South Korean stars here on home ice.
Yes, at the Four Continents here in Seoul.
There have been medals for both Cha Jun-hwan and Kim Chae-yeon,.. at Mokdong Ice Rink in western Seoul.
Kim won gold in the women's singles on Sunday, less than two weeks after winning gold at the Asian Games.
Kim recorded a personal-best score of 148-point-3-6 in the free skate, to earn a total of 222-point-38.
She'd won the short program on Friday, also with a new personal-best of 74-point-0-2.
Cha Jun-hwan's silver came in the men's singles free skate following a score of 185-point-78, to earn a total score of 265-point-02.
Cha won gold at the Asian Games just over a week ago.
The World Championships are coming up at the end of March in Boston.
How Cha and Kim do there will determine the number of spots South Korea gets at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Alright, thanks for that wrap-up.
See you next time.
Thank you.
