The 2023 Korean Mixed Doubles Curling Championship, Korea's national mixed doubles curling championship, was held from July 23 to 31 at the Uijeongbu Curling Stadium in Uijeongbu, South Korea.[1] The winning pair of Kim Ji-yoon and Jeong Byeong-jin became the Korean National Team for the 2023–24 curling season. They represented Korea at the 2024 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship in Östersund, Sweden.[2] Through regional qualifiers, the field was narrowed down from over forty teams to just eighteen who competed in the national championship.[3] The preliminary round was held in a round robin format which qualified the top three teams in each pool for the playoff round.
Among the field of eighteen pairs were newly crowned champions in the men's and women's events, Jeong Yeong-seok and Kim Su-ji. Jeong, third on Park Jong-duk's Gangwon Province team paired up with Gangneung City Hall's Kim Seon-yeong for a second year in a row while Kim, second on Gim Eun-ji's Gyeonggi Province rink joined forces with Kim Jeong-min. Other notable pairs included defending champions Kim Ji-yoon and Jeong Byeong-jin of Seoul, who went 3–7 at the 2023 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship in Gangneung. Chuncheon City Hall's Kim Hye-rin paired with Yoo Min-hyeon, while Park Yu-bin and Lee Jeong-jae formed another team out of Seoul.
