The Japanese archipelago fell in love with the former Korean figure skating star. Lim Eun-soo (23), who turned into a figure skating commentator at the 2026 Milan/Cortina D'Ampezzo Winter Olympics, was at the center of the topic with the spotlight of the Japanese media.

Japanese media Daily Sports reported on the 9th (Korea time) on the hot response to Lim Eun-soo, who is serving as a JTBC figure skating commentator. The media said, "The scene was stirred up over a woman who appeared in the Korean broadcasting room," adding, "The main character is Lim Eun-soo, a former Korean champion and with rich international experience such as the World Championship."

"Daily Sports" followed with a photo of Lim Eun-soo's personal social network service (SNS) and said, "Local fans cheered that he had a tremendous beauty as well as his commentary skills."

Lim Eun-soo played for Korea's national figure skating team for seven seasons from 2015. In 2018, he became the first Korean to win the Asian Open Trophy since Kim Yu-na, making his name known. After retiring as a player, he has expanded his scope by working as a musical actor.

Lim Eun-soo, who debuted as a commentator at the Harbin Winter Asian Games last year, also held the microphone at this Olympics. Lim Eun-soo said, "I feel new to watch the game as a commentator, not as a player," adding, "I will deliver a vivid explanation that contains both the player and the coach's perspective."

Lim Eun-soo went through ups and downs in visiting the emergency room in Milan due to sudden poor condition at the beginning of the competition. At that time, Lim Eun-soo revealed his recent status in the emergency room through SNS, drawing fans' concerns. Since then, Lim Eun-soo has returned to the broadcasting site immediately and is working as a commentator.
