Just curious, looking at the cast, everyone except Adam is truely star on ice, with at least a World Champion under their belt. I know Adam is cute, and good, but any other reason beyond that?
I was in Korea for Festa On Ice and was there to witness the response of the Korean audience the first time Adam's face flashed up on the Jumbotrons. There was a collective gasp from the entire audience; a star was born that evening. He also skated very well during the three performances. By the third night, he was a recognized star, hence the invitations to Japan in July and this show in August.
He is incredibly popular there and has a very large following. Read (by all and especially the event promoters): Extremely bankable.
