Chuen-Gun "C.G." Lee (Korean: 이천군; born October 26, 1980, in Seoul, South Korea) is a South Korean ice dancer who competed internationally for the United States. He competed for South Korea with Yang Tae-hwa. The two competed together from 1996 to 2002, placing 24th at the 2002 Winter Olympics. They were the first ice dancers from South Korea to compete in the Olympics.[1]
Lee and Yang trained in the United States. Following that partnership, Lee partnered with American Kate Slattery, with whom he competed internationally for the United States. They were coached by Gennady Karponosov, Natalia Linichuk, and Vitaly Popkov. They announced their split on March 28, 2007.[2] Lee now works as a wonderful coach, with both: couples competing at Nationals, and adult learners.
