==Career==
Noh won the [[2010 World Junior Short Track Speed Skating Championships|2010 Junior World Championships]], and due to the format of the South Korean National Team selection rules, he was able to win a spot on the team with his speediness on the ice for the 2010-2011 season despite his inexperience compared to veterans of the sport.<ref name="national">{{cite news | title = Short track national team selection process to undergo another change | date = 2011-03-09 | url = http://english.yonhapnews.co.kr/news/2011/03/14/0200000000AEN20110314000900315.HTML | work = Yonhap | accessdate = 2011-03-14}}</ref>  He quieted critics of his placement on the team by performing well at the [[2011 Asian Winter Games]], but struggled against experienced skaters at international events during the [[2010–11 ISU Short Track Speed Skating World Cup]], where technical aspects such as positioning skills are considered essential.<ref name="national"/>  

Overcoming his performances during the World Cup season, he dominated at the [[2011 World Short Track Speed Skating Championships]], winning gold in every race except the [[2011 World Short Track Speed Skating Championships – Men's 500 metres|500&nbsp;m]], where he did not qualify for the quarterfinals.<ref name="worlds2011">{{cite news | title = Short trackers win titles at world championships | date = 2011-03-14 | url = http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/sports/2011/03/136_83049.html | work = The Korea Times | accessdate = 2011-03-14}}</ref>  He won the overall World Championship in his first season on the senior level.<ref>{{cite news | script-title=ko:세계쇼트트랙- 노진규·조해리, 동반 우승 | date = 2011-03-14 | url = http://www.yonhapnews.co.kr/sports/2011/03/14/1007000000AKR20110314002700007.HTML | work = Yonhap | accessdate = 2011-03-14 | language = Korean}}</ref> In the following week, Noh helped Korea to win 2011 [[World Short Track Speed Skating Team Championships|World Team Championships]] (last one to be scheduled into foreseeable future) in [[Warsaw]], setting a new world record in 3000m in the process. 

He discovered a benign tumor in his left shoulder in September 2013 and upon further inspection, it was discovered that he had a five-inch malignant tumor in his shoulder. He delayed surgery to allow him to compete at the [[2014 Winter Olympics]] in Sochi.<ref>[http://www.reuters.com/article/us-speedskating-noh-idUSKCN0X1059]</ref> He would have competed in the Olympics, but was ruled out due to a broken elbow.<ref>[http://olympictalk.nbcsports.com/2014/01/24/noh-jin-kyu-malignant-tumor-short-track-speedskating-south-korea-olympics/]</ref> He died on 3 April 2016 from cancer.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://nos.nl/artikel/2096979-shorttrackkampioen-noh-jin-kyu-overleden.html |title=Shorttrackkampioen Noh Jin-kyu overleden |language=Dutch |date=2016-04-03 |website= |publisher=[[Nederlandse Omroep Stichting]] |access-date=2016-04-03}}</ref>
