It's a good read. You can actually see the sacrifice from her mom in Yuna's early career.

You know if Yuna retires and I know she loves skating but I can totally see her...be involved in entertainment business.

Hosts are complimenting her singing voice. They seem to hear her singing for the first time.
One of the reasons why Yuna is so popular with younger generation! She enjoys those youngsters' culture and is really multi-talented!

Yuna made it very clear that she will not be involved in entertainment business (debut as a singer, actress, etc.) even if she retires. I don't think Yuna wants (or needs) more attention than she already has.
Right now it appears as though she is involved a lot with all those numerous CMs, but only becacuse her agency had been putting those off after olympics.
BTW, thanks for the link to the documentary below. It was very nice to see.

Latest news article about Yuna..

Reuters interview

Figure skating-Queen Yuna happy to put career on ice

Reuters - May 17, 2010, 9:39 pm

SEOUL, May 17 (Reuters) - Three months after her Olympic figure skating success, Kim Yuna is still enjoying her victory and ignoring the "horrendous" thought of deciding whether or not to defend her title in Sochi.

After wowing the world with her record-setting display in Vancouver, Queen Yuna, as she has been dubbed, has been dining with presidents and filming commercials after becoming the first South Korean to win an Olympic figure skating gold medal.

The 19-year-old Kim will head back to her training rink in Canada in a few weeks and search for what comes next in a life that already has netted her millions of dollars in endorsements and a place among the sports finest.

Here's the complete article

I just lurked from Yuna's forum and they said that she sent an entry for GP series and according to them she will be moving to Toronto for training w/ her new physical trainer, so that indicates hard training according to the news. Hmmmmmmmmm. The plot thickens.

yeah, but she's still not sure about her future plan. I guess she submitted the entry just in case. She said she will decide after flying to Toronto.

Maybe she is waiting to see how she feels when she steps back on the training ice at the Cricket Club. She would have to feel that competitive fire within when she gets on the ice. That would be a place for me to give me the answers if I were in her shoes. Her body and mind will tell her whether she should train for competitions or for shows. Either way is fine with me as a fan.

[brownfox]

Yuna will announce her decision on May 31st and there will be a press conference.

You sure? I read she will have a press conference at the airport but she will NOT have made a decision by then.
She will maker her decision after meeting with David and Brian in Toronto.

Great post! I think every skater should decide whether or not to retire depending how they feel on the ice minus the opinions of coaches, parents, companies or whomever else. Whatever happens, if Yu-Na listens to her heart I know it will be the right decision.
