Ahh so cute! Does anyone know what the little girl spectators are saying about her? And what is So Youn herself saying about the "Yu Na Teddy"?? So cute!

Also, is that her mom helping her choreograph some of her movements?

Thanks for that info!

Speaking of Da Bin, she can also be a great contender in 2018 Olympics. She still has a long way to go, but we never know.

She can be great there too. I hope the South Korean skaters continues to progress.

You might want to start a Team Korea Fan Fest thread! There are a lot of up and coming Korean skaters.

Tbh I was tempted to make one before but with the state of korean figure skating, it kind of hindered my plans since the development of SK skaters is still somewhat stagnant. It has improved a bit with Yuna's presence in the past couple of years but still not a lot of changes are happening :eek:

hwell:

....

I'll see if I can conjure something up though.

I just rewatched her SA LP, and oh my gosh, I cannot believe (again) just how UNDERSCORED she was in PCS. Maybe I'm noticing this because I'm a bit intoxicated, but this is just ridiculous how PCS is deciding who wins and what not. UGH

I think it's best for you to get sober first before we talk about So Youn's LP.....again

i totally understand you, and you are not intoxicated, it is very true, that SoYoun skated way,way better than certain contenders. but the scores says something else. And it is also true that SoYoun is very very impressive watching live as well.
As skaters come from weak fed. they cannot do anything but improve steadily. and they are doing exactly just that.
I am content. I saw improvement and good skating from my fav girls. that's all I want.
Figure skating and ISU is a very political sports....

Sometimes, ISU reminds me of the fable "The Emperor's New Clothes"....

Unfortunately, everything you say is true.

Also, can we take a moment to note how happy So Youn is when she skates? You can tell her smile is truly genuine. Just look at 2:16 here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Eb0VCIk7YQ

I was appalled at how some of the medalists from the recent Cup of China literally showed zero emotion when skating to similar music... :slink:

And yet their PCS were still higher in all aspects. Ridiculous.

yyyskate · Nov 8, 2014

yeah, I know that "smile" right away.
This program, although still needs lots of polish here and there, but every time I watch it, I am always holding my breathe in the end.

Anyone know any So Youn Fan Forum or other FS related forum that has So Youn or Yuna?

unless you can communicate in korean, then she has her own daum fancafe: http://cafe.daum.net/soyeonZZang
there's also yunaforum.com if you haven't checked that out yet. So far that forum is a bit disorganized in terms of not having one place for any So Youn updates (like her own thread) but that's where I mostly get updates about her and korean figure skating.

edit: actually I get most of the Korean fs info in this blog (http://spiral9509.tistory.com/). It's in Korean so google translate is basically my oddball friend when accessing this site.

MiRé · Nov 9, 2014

Thank you!!! I better check both of them out :biggrin:

Mangomango · Nov 10, 2014

cooper · Nov 10, 2014

Meoima · Nov 10, 2014
