We all know that Leader is a huge fan of this Queen on Ice. She's pretty much huge in Korea and add to the fact that when we were in Seoul for the encore concert, the Winter Olympics was at its height. We actually have a cute and funny story when it was Yuna's turn to do her winning performance.


It was Friday in Seoul and we were in a taxi on the way to DSP. There's a television inside the cab that shows the figure skating competition and it was the finals. When it was Yuna's turn to perform, we were actually praying for a stop light, because every time the car moves, the reception gets cut off. We even told the driver to just stop the car on the side so that we could all watch. There was this guy by the side of the road with earphones and eyes glued to his phone. He had a huge smile on his face and I'm pretty sure he's watching Yuna's performance as well. South Korea practically stood at a standstill during that time.

Kim Hyun Joong's fave sports celebrity is Kim Yuna.
Although he has never met her in person, he has become her fan after watching her in competition on TV.

Kim Hyun Joong shared,
"When we were working on our activities in Japan last year,
I'd seen her for the first time on TV when she was competing in a world-class competition,
and I totally succumbed to her charm.

Up against contenders like Asada Mao of Japan and others, she was not intimidated
and her confident appearance was really admirable.
During the competition, she didn't panic at all even when she'd fallen whilst on the rink,
she just stood herself up immediately and proceeded to finished her outstanding performance.
A scene like that is really quite memorable."

Kim Hyun Joong had also gone to Gyeonggi-do to see Kim Yuna
at the Four Continents Figure Skating Championships in February.

Kim Hyun Joong said,
"Kim Yuna is a remarkable sportsperson.
We're fellow Koreans, but she's so full of confidence.
Although she's younger than me,
she possess such a strong sense of self-confidence in everything that she does,
regardless of the environment and conditions,
I want to learn from her."
