His international debut was at the 2019 Junior World Cup in Enschede. 2025 was his breakthrough year with a silver medal at the Asian Winter Games and a win at the 5th stage of the World Cup in Poland.[2][3] At the 6th stage of the 2024-25 World Cup in Heerenveen he won a gold and a bronze medal at the 500 meters.[4]
