Wondergirl’s Yubin has a not so secret admirer

20080815_wangkichun_yubin

What would you do if an Olympic athlete announced to the world that you are his ideal woman?

Yudo silver medalist, Wang Ki-chun recently revealed that his ideal woman is none other than Yubin of the Wondergirls. Will this public announcement result in a date with a Wondergirl? Unlikely, since many of the female celebrities, including Lee Hyori, Nam Kyu-ri, and Sun-ye of the Wondergirls are looking longingly to gold medalist Park Tae-hwan who incidentally is raking in at least an estimated 1 million USD in endorsements last year.

Despite a broken rib, Wang Ki-chun managed to snag a silver medal in the Men’s  73kg competition on August 11th 2008. But in Korea, a silver medal is only worth 1/10 of a single gold medal – that’s the reason why the poor silver medalist said he was sorry for winning a silver. Now, that’s just messed up!

  8. 8 leeyana August 15, 2008 at 6:19 pm

  9. 9 liz August 15, 2008 at 8:19 pm

    Is that the best looking pic that you can find of him?… cuz if so, err, I probably wouldn’t be interested if I were Yoobin.

  10. 10 bec August 15, 2008 at 8:23 pm

    yoobin is average in looks =/ but i won’t deny that the girl has charisma

  11. 11 Jasmine* August 15, 2008 at 8:24 pm

    WoW ! i mean a medal is a medal it’s worth sth specially a silver one..yet he apologized !

  12. 12 SP August 15, 2008 at 8:51 pm

    Poor Yoobin but Park Tae Hwan isn’t that great looking anyway. He’s just one hell of a swimmer…that is when Michael Phelps isn’t around. ;) hahah

    Every other guy just want a Wondergirl these days!

  13. 13 JJ August 15, 2008 at 9:11 pm

    I don’t understand why ppl think Yubin is so hot? She’s like one of the least attractive girls in the group! Actually, none of the girls are that attractive anyway…..

  14. 14 rka August 15, 2008 at 10:36 pm

    yoobin’s Hot and im sorry to say but that guy is not!
    but a silver medal is not that bad at all..:)

  15. 15 asdf August 15, 2008 at 10:46 pm

    At first I thought he was Kosuke Kitajima.
    I was mistaken.

    Silver medal is not bad at all..

  16. 16 Rory August 15, 2008 at 10:50 pm

    He looks scary…

  17. 17 wondergirlsfan August 16, 2008 at 12:10 am

    yoobin’s hot,but not that gorgeous

    i feel sorry for that yudo guy,lost a hot chick and korean’s support

  18. 18 YOYOYO August 16, 2008 at 12:18 am

    yeah right only a silver medalist n u want her?! yoobin is to hot for him =D wtf with those olympics, they gonna use their medal to ask out girls? haha

  19. 19 avionne August 16, 2008 at 12:47 am

    I think Yubin looks really pnice in this picture…But i dont think she would date him just because he likes or thinks she’s attractive..But either way it doesn’t matter….And a medal is a medal and a silver medal means something..so i don’t think he should’ve apologized for anything.

    Who the H*ll is WONDERGIRL? Is she also known for plastic surgery?

    The two do not match at all!

  21. 21 Amber August 16, 2008 at 1:39 am

    I would freak-out if someone told the world they liked me…
    xD

  22. 22 gogo August 16, 2008 at 3:04 am

    A silver medal is NOT all that bad. It’s sad that he has to say he’s sorry to Korea for bringing in a silver medal- Korea should be proud.

  23. 23 Spainana August 16, 2008 at 3:08 am

    Panamá never has won a gold medal in the Olympic Games, 60 years ago a panamanian runner won two bronze and since then nothing. If we win one of silver it would be a national holiday :D

  24. 24 jeanie August 16, 2008 at 5:47 am

    i think yubin is the prettier then the rest of the girls in wondergirls so i don’t really blame him for liking her many guys do

  25. 25 irees August 16, 2008 at 6:42 am

    Dude, he still got a SILVER. Gold or not, a medal’s a medal, and that’s an amazing feat. However, back off of Yoobin. Yoobin’s ours! Plus, he gotta get in line. There’s so many celebrities that have confessed their love for her. XD

  26. 26 millie August 16, 2008 at 8:31 am

    gahh…park tae hwan is like the michael phelps in korea…
    gotta admitt though, he does have a great body ;p

  27. 27 Paaaaaaaaaaa August 16, 2008 at 1:17 pm

    her nose looks plastic in that pic

  28. 28 NNEx August 16, 2008 at 3:42 pm

    @Vertigo

    Didn’t popseoul post what you had said before?
    I’m pretty sure I read it somewhere.

    But yo, silver is great, it’s better than not getting any medals.

    Maybe it’s because I’m not Korean, but I think Park Taehwan is overhyped. Sure he is the first Korean to win a medal in swimming, but still. It seems like he’s the only Korean Olympian any Korean cares about. S. Korea has a few other gold medalists too.

  29. 29 XX August 16, 2008 at 4:17 pm

    Eveytime I see this girl, she looks really ugly or dead!
    I’ve seen way better looking girls! Taehwan has such bad taste!

  30. 30 Kay August 17, 2008 at 2:36 am

    ^ This article isn’t talking about Park Taehwan even though it mentions him.

    Old news. He said he’d marry Yoobin if he won a gold medal ages ago.

  31. 31 evvy August 17, 2008 at 3:43 am

    HAHA. Korea is so damn harsh. Silver isn’t good enough, huh?

  32. 32 tangy August 17, 2008 at 10:10 am

    dude this was news so long ago

    poor guy….a silver medal
    is still amazing!

  33. 33 Judoka August 17, 2008 at 5:37 pm

    I can’t believe some of you morons actually believe everything written here by popseoul. Korea is very proud of Wang’s accomplishment! Judo is a brutal sport, but he still fought like a warrior even with a cracked rib. There’s no doubt Wang would have won if he was healthy. Wang is the reigning world champion and actually beat the same guy last year when he was healthy during the world judo championships held in Brazil. Winning gold medal would have been nice for Wang, it would’ve given him exemption from entering mandatory 2 year military service. But he’s only 20 years old, I’m sure he’ll be back at London Olympics to bring back the gold medal to where it should belong.

  34. 34 727 August 18, 2008 at 1:51 pm

    Why should he be sorry for getting a silver?? I wouldn’t apologize…I’m sure his aim was to get the gold medal, but at least he got a medal…even with a broken rib!! And those female celebrities are like flies on poop, they’re just sucking up the media time of Park Taehwan.

  35. 35 photojjunkie August 21, 2008 at 6:29 pm

    Ugh, I hate people who are like SILVER?! or BRONZE?! as if it wasn’t good enough. To even BE apart of the Olympics should be the greatest honor and to win one of the medals would be the chance of a lifetime. Whichever medal, gold, silver or bronze, he still comes out to be best of best in the world.

  36. 36 Hero-JaeJoong August 24, 2008 at 5:00 am

    Uhhhh nooo way.
    he’s just not suitable enough for Yoobin <3

  37. 37 blah September 1, 2008 at 6:53 pm

    why don’t you people stop generalizing? is this article god’s word on paper? stop being so damn gullible.

  38. 38 Bleng July 22, 2009 at 3:18 pm

    Silver just means that you were the first person to lose to Gold….soooo yeah sure it might SEEM impressive, but no one ever remembers Silver, only gold. HAHAHAHA sorry dude
