    ahhh, the sublime kim yuna. I usually find figure skating boring but to watch her on ice is amazing. To those of you who haven’t seen her skate you are really missing something. Go quick and watch them on youtube.

      SO true! I find any sport boring to watch on tv but Yuna puts so much emotion into her skating that you fall for it.

    Koreans go obsessed with too many things. Like with the world cup soccer, the swimmer park tae-hwan, the baseball team, and now her.

    • 17 bdean2 May 25, 2009 at 2:45 pm

      Gee, like Japan didn’t get obsessed w/ their baseball team, world cup soccer (and not just Japan’s team but Beckham and the English team), figure skater Mao Asada, etc.

      Or what about the US w/ the trio of “blonde” tarts – Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson and Paris Hilton?
