"Kim Yu-na was rude to Mao Asada, a player who had no skills." Still childish jealousy. "ISU misses Empress."
As the opening of the Winter Olympics approaches, "Figure Queen" Kim Yu-na (36) is once again being talked about. However, he is still openly opposed to Kim Yu-na in Japan, drawing attention.
Citing a new post on Kim Yu-na's social networking service (SNS) on the 4th, Japanese media Sports Hochi said, "Kim Yu-na's recent appearance as the 2010 Vancouver Olympics women's figure skating gold medalist has become a hot topic."
Kim Yu-na released a photo of herself with a blue bag on her Instagram on the 4th. Kim Yu-na, a figure skating legend, has been showing off her brand power for more than a decade since her retirement.
"Kim Yu-na posted a picture of her wearing a white dress with a flower pattern with a handbag from a luxury brand," Sports Hochi said. "Kim Yu-na, who turned 35 in September last year. He retired from active duty after winning a silver medal at the 2014 Sochi Olympics. In October 2022, she married singer Ko Woo-rim. He introduced, "It has completely transformed into an elegant and precious house daughter-like atmosphere that is different from the expression he showed on the ice."
The media introduced the reaction of followers on Kim Yu-na's post. Among them, "It's so pretty." Compliments such as "I thought spring had already come," "How can you be so beautiful," "Elegant Beauty," "Elegance," and "I've never seen a real luxury bag."
Kim Yu-na's Instagram is still popular even after retirement, boasting 1.49 million followers. Recently, retired volleyball legend Kim Yeon-koung appeared on YouTube channel "Bread Sister Kim Yeon-koung," and the combination of the two legends representing each event received explosive attention with 3.42 million views.
However, the reactions in Japan are contradictory, drawing more attention. Mao Asada and Miki Ando, who were active in the same era as Kim Yu-na, were always hidden by Kim Yu-na's shadow despite their outstanding skills, and this feeling of jealousy seems to be still mixed.
Sports Hochi's article topped the list of articles that were read a lot on the Japanese portal site Yahoo Japan, and the response to the comments was very cold. "How many people in Japan are interested in Kim Yu-na. There's no one around me, including me. Rather, the comment, "I remember that Mao Asada was conscious of being a rival and there were many very rude remarks," drew the most sympathy.
Kim Yu-na, who is recognized by the world and is still talked about because no player beyond him has appeared easily, but she has also undermined his skills. One netizen raised a groundless question, saying, "It's still mysterious, but why did the score increase just by sliding without any big skills that could be a point?" and another said, "After Kim Yeon-ah's victory, the scoring criteria for figure skating have been changed to an objective skill score addition method (GOE, etc.). If the current scoring method had been introduced at the time, Mao Asada would have been the gold medal."
He didn't even hesitate to express his primary emotions of "I don't like it (I don't like it)."
It seems that only Japan is on a remote island. Kim Yu-na is once again being talked about ahead of the 2026 Milan-Cortina D'Ampezzo Winter Olympics, which will open on the 7th (Korea Standard Time). The International Skating Union (ISU) posted a photo of Kim Yu-na on its official social media on the 4th, saying, "Two Olympics. Two Olympic medals. "Kim Yu-na has won two consecutive Olympic medals, leaving a mark symbolizing the times in figure skating," he said. Who will make a new history on the ice at the next Olympics?" Contrary to negative public opinion in Japan, Kim Yu-na still showed symbolism in the figure skating world.
