« on: April 01, 2009, 08:15:51 PM »
Suprised I haven't seen anyone post about Kim Yu-Na's amazing WFSC run, and the fact that she aint got her own thread (or I was distracted when searching), when all those Finnish skaters has their own. She's mentioned in the gen figure skating thread, but she the BEST (in many ways), thus she gotta have her own thread. :shakeit:

Wow, I can't believe I missed this.  From January 1st, a performance of Taeyeon AND Yuna Kim singing Can You Hear Me? together.

Courtesy of ahboo.  Sharing is caring!

I can't wait for the Olympics next year, srsly.  Not since the Kristi Yamaguchi vs Midori Ito days have I been even remotely interested in the ladies division of skating, but thanks to the Asian superpowers over the last couple of years its been alot more interesting.  And of course, being coached by one of Canada's best ever helps bridge that gap.

Here's moar singing!

Not quite. She only moved here a couple of years ago for her training. You've probably got a good chance of seeing her in public, seeing as how she lives and trains in T.O.. :lol:

Yun like taemayeon and A like YoontamA.

Does make sense tama. But doesn't explain the romanisation of her name. Luckily, i don't romanize korean names, thus I'm not to concered about it. But why Yu-Na (Yu Na)? Ignorance?

Koreans usually pronounce her name correctly which is Yo-na (a long "o" sound).  She goes by Yoo (u) Na since they think non-Koreans will understand it better.  I've been to her hometown Gunpo which is about 15-20 minutes outside of the Seoul Metroplex.  She has been labeled the number 1 CF girl.  The big news is that many are upset she'll go to university in Canada and not in Korea.  She's training in Canada, so it will be easier for her to take some joint Korea U classes in Toronto.

Also her cyworld page is- www.cyworld.com/figureyuna
