‘Figure skating queen’ Yuna Kim (33) went out to the exhibition.
On the 19th, Yuna Kim posted a commemorative photo taken next to a painting by French artist David Jamain on her SNS. The exhibition Yuna Kim visited was ‘Dandy Boy from Provence’, where Ja-Meng’s solo exhibition was held. It will be held until April 27 at ALT.1 (Alt One) on the 6th floor of The Hyundai Seoul in Yeouido-dong, Seoul.
Yuna Kim poses with a bright smile in front of a picture of herself. In this exhibition, Ja-maeng presented the ‘Star of Korea’ series, depicting 5 representative Korean stars, including Kim Yuna, Son Heung-min, Kim Yeon-kyung, Park Chan-wook, and Yoon Yeo-jeong.
Among them, 5 works depicting Yuna Kim will be auctioned off on the 9th of next month through the online content sales service ‘Things’. The Korea Economic Daily, which owns the work, plans to donate the proceeds from the sale under the name of Yuna Kim to the Turkiye Earthquake Restoration Fund. Yuna Kim’s visit this time was also made to publicize the charity auction.
Yuna Kim is a figure skating legend in Korea and around the world. At the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, she scored 228.56 points, the highest ever for women’s singles, and became the first Korean to win a gold medal in figure skating. She won the Olympics, World Championships, Four Continents Championships, and Grand Prix Finals, making her the first female singles player to achieve a Grand Slam.
Four years later, at the Sochi Olympics, despite a flawless performance, she unfortunately won a silver medal amidst a ‘judgement controversy’ in Russia, the host country. Since then, Yuna Kim has continued to be active both inside and outside of her sports world after her career as an athlete was over.
Recently, Go Woo-rim, whom he met at the All That Skate ice show in 2018, got married after dating for three years. Yuna Kim’s husband, Go Woo-rim, is active as a member of the male crossover group Forestella after graduating from the Department of Vocal Music at Seoul National University. Selecting members of a male quartet, she appeared in the JTBC audition program ‘Phantom Singer Season 2’ and won the spotlight.
Because Kim Yuna is receiving national attention, she suffers from rumors such as fake news. Recently, from the 11th to the 13th, a YouTube channel released four fake news videos related to her Kim Yu-na and her late Woo-rim couple. In the end, All That Sports, which is in charge of managing Yuna Kim, declared, “Recently, fake news about Yuna Kim couple has been continuously circulating through YouTube. We will take strict legal action against defamation and the spread of false information.”
