I felt bad for Mao. She looked so disappointed with her Silver - I think it was a combination of not having the skate that she wanted, in addition to not meeting the expectations of her country.
I think part of Yu-Na's popularity is because she is multi-talented (I believe she sings.), as well as being the 1st medal contender the country has ever had in figure skating. Korea is still 'dark' in many ways and I think she represents the hope of what the country wants to be in the world, but can't be, as long as they remain divided. Hopefully, democracy will come to the entire country soon. Well, now, at least the pressure of winning is done, but I suspect that her stardom will go to new heights in her country now - definitely a double edged sword. I wonder if she will continue skating after this year or not.

You mean like this?I think so, it really bothered me when I heard them talking about how Yuna doesn't get any congratulations e-mails when she gets second. I really think some countries turn something so fun and beautiful into stress
Sure enough the headlines back in Japan read, MIDORI FAILS.
In the the poster is refering to North Korea as "dark", which it is.
Um.
Yuna does NOT represent North Korea. So that's just freaking random to say that the poster meant North Korea when talking about Yuna.
I know she does not represent North Korea, chill out
