My interest: Yuna Kim, the most honorable figure skating athlete

 

     Who do you think is the most astonishing, famous figure skating athlete in the world? Most of the people would agree: Yuna Kim! Definitely, Yuna Kim is one of the greatest sport celebrities not only in Korea but also in the world. At this point of time when the Winter Olympics finished, and a World Championship being held in Japan, I want to let you know the magnificent achievements she has accomplished so far. 

     Profile: She was born on September 5th, 1990. Her hometown is Bucheon, a middle-size city located in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. She has a father, mother and an older sister in her family, all of whom she loves very much. When her age became 7, she started to wear figure skating shoes, and until the 2014 Winter Olympics, figure skating was her best friend that made her be called "Queen". Although her life as an athlete ended, her dream at present is to be an IOC member. 

    Her achievements: She is the first female skating athlete to win gold medal in the Olympic, World Championship, Four Continents and Grandprix final at the same season(grand slam). Furthermore, she acquired a medal (from gold to bronze) in every competition she participated since Junior(all podium). She set the new record 11 times, as a sum of short and long program. For South Korea, her motherland, she devoted herself to hosting the next Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang and fostering young skaters to practice in a better environment. As a world-wide star, she was assigned to promoting 2012 Youth Olympic games and UNICEF. 

    Her impressive programs: 

     <Short program> 
       
      1. Danse Macabre 
          The program is considered as the most exquisite short program in 
          the world. Look at the speed and its beautiful flow. 
         

     

     2. 007 James Bond Medley 
         The program shown in the 2010 Vancouver Olympics is very dramatic
         filled with her power and sensuality. 

      
     <Long program> 

     1. Gershwin Piano Concerto in F 
         It is composed of very lyrical melody, which is a lot different from her
         short program above. However, it represents the essence of harmony
         between artistry and technique. 

    

  
     2. Les Miserables 

         This program let people know that her comeback was very successful. 

         If you watch it, you feel like watching a whole movie or drama. 

         Many people were surprised at the fact that though she skipped 2 

         seasons, her talents didn't go rusty. 

     Although she won silver medal in the 2014 Sochi Olympics due to the biased judgement, and announced retirement from her athlete life, I hope that she would be a happy skater who enjoys what she likes forever. Her reputation will twinkle as time goes by, with her perseverance and beautiful programs. 

A self-introduction: Hello, guys!

   Hello, guys! I am the person who created this blog, and my name is Lee Gyeong Gyo. Since it is the first time I create a blog, I feel a little bit nervous in introducing myself for you all around the world. How much do you know about South Korea? South Korea, also called Republic of Korea, is my motherland, and famous for its memorial history, dynamics of technology and talented people who show their ability. If you visit my country, it might look like exotic, due to several ancient palaces surrounded by hundreds of apartments and skyscrapers. That is, I think, the most distinct characteristics of South Korea, a wonderful harmony made by its tradition and modernism. Furthermore, there are a good number of experts, including not only in academic or technology fields, but also in sports and arts. You will realize it well when you hear the rise of its national power, economy, and fame of cultural products such as K-pop, cosmetics and fashion, and competent athletes. 

  

    Now I am a senior at Hanyang university in the Metropolis of Seoul, one of the top-class universities in South Korea. Hanyang university is well-known for its big size, practical academic traditions, and most of all, plenty of intelligent students. Nowadays, the number of foreigners who are willing to study here is increasing. I definitely assure that my university is full of chance, adventure, and love! 

    The subject I major in is Public Administration. What we learn is how government functions, for example organization, personnel(human resources), finance and leadership management. To sum up, it is a business done in public sector, very similar to that in private enterprise. It covers a variety of fields; sociology, economics, politics, law, psychology, philosophy, etc. I am very satisfied with the choice of it as my major, because my interests have been usually focused on the operation of government or public organization. My dream is to be a public servant so that I will devote my life in making policies for the nation.  

    Music is my best friend. It relaxes my mind to play the piano, and whenever I feel stressed, I listen to every kind of music. One pop song that I am addicted to now is attached below. The singer is Taylor Swift, and the name of the song is "Fearless". It is her work in 2008. 

   

      Here are the 4 main things which I want to introduce to you. With blogs and chatting, I am looking forward to keep in touch with all of you!
