Let’s just say he behaved in a way not fitting of a coach much less an adult. I have lost a lot of what respect I had for everyone in his team after this incident and wish Eunsoo nothing but the best. Nothing is her fault, something that only lies with the rather disgusting behavior of some select people and her maturity humbles me.

English translated interview can be found here in twitter. Raf was asked about Eun-soo and Bell, in one of the 4 photos.
Raf said "Bell and the Korean girl". I don't think she's welcome there anymore. She must leave.

hope she considers moving to Orser. She already has great technique, I feel like Brian can polish her up a bit. He does better with skaters that already has good groundwork.

Orser rejected her last season. She wanted first to go to him, but then had to go to Raf. So she won't switch to Orser this season.

I don’t know what to think about this. I respect Raf immensely as a coach, I just hope Eunsoo does what’s best for her. This whole situation has made me quite disappointed in the skating community - on all sides. It’s unbelievable that ATS hasn’t made a statement.

Back on topic! Let’s not talk about next season. What kind of music do we think Eunsoo will pick? What genre?
 
I thought Eunsoo was going to make a statement after the FS...? I really hope this issue doesn't stay unresolved like this. It just makes me sad and uncomfortable... and I hope her team does what's best for her.

She made a statement on her instagram.
Hello, everyone.
At the end of this long , difficult , and yet a bit unsatisfying season , I want to thank you all for your great support and encouragement throughout this season more than anything .
I want everyone to know that I'm in pursuit of my own happiness at the moment and I hope that everybody , including myself , to be happy as well .
So , I don't want anybody to be blamed for me .
I wanted to let everybody know this , especially for those who might be curious and waiting for my updates .
Thank you .

Eunsoo is a skater from a small fed. She has not many choices to make.
She should keep her career going in this field. Do you think she can contest a suit?
KSU even doesn't do anything right now.

I think that she should choose some more mature, nuanced music for next. Roxie Hart
was great and very memorable but it didn’t suit her very well. If she doesn’t wanna go for the old stuff like Rachmaninov and Lizt then there are a lot of great OST’s out there like Nocturnal Animals, The Handmaiden,Memoirs, Grave of the fireflies

I think she would do really well with Latin music
 
Oh lord the FF is going to be overrun with the neverending cycle of the collision-Raf-ATS isn't it... Look, folks, you all have already made up your minds on the whole issue one way or another, and all 'discussions' are going to end in fruitless arguments. Eunsoo has said she doesn't want people talking about who's at fault and whatnot, and if she doesn't want the talk to continue then I'm respecting her wishes. I know the off-season is for hypothesizing and speculating, but aren't you all tired and stressed with the whole thing? Her coaching situation will be revealed when it's revealed, if the darling's not talking nothing is going to go further, and all arguments are just going to end with each person thinking what they will. I can't believe the FF is giving me stress about the thing...

I wish people would just let the whole thing go

I’d love it if she went for something funky. It would be insanely difficult to interpret but it could be so light and fun! Something like Am I Wrong by Anderson Paak. Or something dark like Wolf Suit by Danny Elfman.

I’d love Latin music too but something original. There were so many repeats in the Ice Dance this year!

I think Eunsoo’s SP was so so good this year that I hope she does more programs like that, with that light joyful feeling.

I agree that funk could be great for her but only with a good choreographer. That could easily become a cringe fest if mishandled.

You’re dead on about the repetition in the Ice dance. I never want to hear Maria de Buenos Aires ever again. I’d love to see a flamenco from her instead. I also think she‘d do well with an old Hollywood/1930’s themed program. Like V/M’s SD in Sochi
 
I want more Jeffrey Buttle for her programs next season, her SP this season highlighted all her best features. Her elegance, grace, tender but deep expressiveness, it was all there and more. I mean, she's great with sassy, flirty, lighthearted fun music as well, but well I'm a fan of the lyrical lyricism and squirtle is stellar with it. Besides, Chicago was a bit heavy for her imho, Roxie was fine, nay, more than fine, but Nowdays and All That Jazz did feel kinda flat. And it's not her fault, really, she did her best with it but a)Suzuki Akiko's choreo is not really compatible with her style and b)she's 16, jazz is always better done by mature skaters.

I'm all for a funk program, or a power ballad like Loena Hendrickx's SP this season. No Celine Dion though :laugh:. Although it's never going to happen I'd love to see this song as a program, it has power, dramatic climax, tender emotion, everything. And if the RD for next season wasn't musicals, I'd have suggested she'd make a great Elphaba :drama:

On another note, I'd also love to see her skate to one of Chopin's Etudes. And now I am digging the idea of Black Keys, or maybe the soundtrack of the Taiwanese movie Secret. She'd make an excellent Xiaoyu :luv17:

I’ll have to look out for the film secret!

If you really like lyrical music perhaps the Pride and Prejudice sound track? (https://youtu.be/co1-GiL-pJA)

Rather than skaters as a Lizzy character perhaps she could skate as a Jane type character?

I think either would be lovely :laugh:, she can do both gentle and caring Jane and witty and lively Elizabeth. And I am 100% in favour of the Pride and Prejudice soundtrack :agree:

Here's the soundtrack for Secret https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxY1aJsfa1M, and the scene that justifies the use of Chopin's Etudes (esp. Black Keys): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HESwPzW3-BA

Are you secretly me? The two pianists played my absolute favourite Chopin piece Waltz No. 7 (https://youtu.be/60dMjc9M2kg)!

I discovered it watch the magnificent Margot Fonteyn and Rudolph Nureyev in a documentary (https://youtu.be/U7fS3XP0hC0).

Now you mentioned power ballads? How about Whitney Huston? Starr Andrews did an amazing FS to her last season but I think “I Have Nothing” (https://youtu.be/FxYw0XPEoKE) might suit Eunsoo.

Any reason why she was rejected? I don't remember seeing any articles on this.... That's such a pity...

Orser has stated multiple times that he'd rather work with established skaters. Eunsoo was fresh from Juniors, I don't think that's the kind of level Orser and co. want to work with.

I hope Eunsoo has found another coach. And I hope it's not Tom Z. :hopelessness:
