Gymnastics career
In early 2024 Hur began competing at the World Cups in hopes of qualifying to the 2024 Olympic Games. He first competed at the Cairo World Cup where he won silver on pommel horse behind Ahmad Abu Al-Soud of Jordan. He next competed at the Cottbus World Cup where he won bronze on pommel horse behind Nariman Kurbanov and Al-Soud. At the World Cup in Baku Hur fell during his routine and did not advance to the event final. He did not compete at the fourth and final World Cup in the series and therefore did not earn an Olympic berth.
In April Hur competed at the Korean Championships where he finished second in the all-around behind Lee Jun-ho and first on pommel horse. The following month Hur competed at the Asian Championships where he helped South Korea win bronze as a team. In June the Korea Gymnastics Association awarded Kim Han-sol the non-nominative Olympic berth that they had been awarded at the 2023 World Championships. However, the following month Kim injured his knee while training and would no longer be able to compete at the 2024 Olympic Games. The Korea Gymnastics Association chose Hur as the replacement athlete. While there Hur qualified to the pommel horse final where he finished seventh.
