Thanks for sharing this with us! I watched the Yuna documentary shortly after it was released and was incredibly touched by the Korean media's admiration of her.

The one about Patrick was interesting as well. He speaks like such a down-to-earth guy that it's hard to believe he actually made some of his more controversial comments. My guess is that he's still awkward and uncomfortable dealing with the press, especially after a disaster such as 2013 Worlds.

Interviewer: What's it like being a sex symbol?
PChan: A sex symbol? [Laughs] ...I don't really know what that means.
