Japanese media and the public are buzzing over the bold short-hair transformation of "Figure Skating Queen" Kim Yuna (35).

On the 4th, the Japanese outlet Daily Sports reported, "Kim Yuna, the 2010 Vancouver Olympic figure skating gold medalist, has sparked a stir with her new short-hair look," citing photos she posted on the 3rd.

The outlet added, "Kim Yuna, who boldly cut her trademark long hair in April, has now posted additional photos. She is receiving a flood of praise for her more sophisticated appearance, including a languid expression by a window."

During her active career, Kim Yuna formed a legendary rivalry with Asada Mao (35), "Japan's figure skating star," who was her same age, establishing herself as one of the most recognizable South Korean sports stars in Japan.

In particular, Kim Yuna shattered the all-time highest score record (228.56 points) at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics to win the gold medal, and retired from competition after securing the silver medal at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. As a player, she made history in figure skating by achieving the "Grand Slam," becoming the first female singles skater to win the Olympics, World Championships, Four Continents Championships, and Grand Prix Final.

Even ten years after her retirement, it is an unusual phenomenon for Japanese media to continuously report on Kim Yuna's appearance changes and recent activities, proving her enduring influence even in Japan. Japanese fans are also showing strong reactions through comments such as "Deadly cute," "Too beautiful to put into words," and "Short hair suits her perfectly."

Kim Yuna first sparked major interest among fans both domestically and internationally last April when she posted a photo of her transformation on her SNS accompanied by the brief caption "Short hair."
