| <b>Yuna</b> @ World Cafe Live. | JUMP: The Philly Music Project Posted: 06 Feb 2014 08:30 AM PST
Although many have yet to hear the beautiful tunes of Malaysian singer and song writer Yuna, she is an artist you will be lucky to discover. Her delicate, yet positive and thought-provoking music lured a diverse yet, excited crowd to the World Cafe Live Tuesday. With her head dressed in a red scarf, Yuna approached the stage with a darling smile on her face as the crowd cheered her on. The crowd calmly turned their cheers to silence as Yuna's voice – strong, yet delicate, vulnerable, yet conquering - began to fill the air. She swayed on stage as she blew away the crowd with her velvety singing and world beats. After the first song, Yuna expressed how beautiful a city Philadelphia was. The crowd cheered even more. She continued to sing and all eyes remained on her the entire time. A woman to the far right of the stage shouted out, "Go old school," just as Yuna jumped into her cover of Frank Ocean's "Thinkin' About You." She continued on as her audience again remained in tuned. She jokingly said, "Hey everyone, this is the last song." Everyone sighed and she announced, "Just kidding." Everyone broke out in laughter. As Yuna wrapped up her set and thanked us all for coming out, a burst of applause showed the gratitude of the crowd. She was loved and appreciated, and those who had the opportunity to witness her that night, left home a better and more positive person. Yuna is a representation of just that. |
| A Great Korean Figure Skater, Kim <b>Yuna's</b> Road to Sochi 2014 <b>...</b> Posted: 05 Feb 2014 01:32 PM PST Many proud Koreans are leading the world with their talents and abilities in many different fields. For example, they are in many walks of life including the political, sports, music, and economic arenas. The one I want to introduce to you is a World and Olympic Champion, an elegant, yet, incredibly powerful figure skater named Kim Yuna, also known as "Queen Yuna".
Kim Yuna, a 23 year old South Korean figure skater, has been a world champion many times over. She was the 2010 Olympic champion, the 2009, 2013 World Champion, 2009 Four Continents Champion, a three time (2006-2007, 2007-2008, 2009-2010) Grand Prix Final Champion, the 2006 World Junior Champion, the 2005 Junior Grand Prix Final Champion and a six time (2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2013, 2014) South Korean National Champion. It proves she is a very ambitious, determined and dedicated skater. In February 2010, in Vancouver B.C., Kim competed in the ladies single event and was a strong favourite to win the gold. She scored 78.50 points in the short program and she also won the free skating program with 150.06 points. In addition to these events, she broke the world records for both the short program and the free skating program for a record total of 228.56 points! After the Olympics, she stated "I was incredibly happy when I won the gold medal at the Winter Olympics. I was really lucky. I don't think I'll ever forget that moment."
Our "Queen Yuna" is preparing to compete again at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic Games. Ladies' figure skating events are always one of the best events of the Olympic Games because of its talented top skaters. Kim is widely considered the favorite to earn the gold in Sochi, as she did four years ago in Vancouver. Kim's fans are certain that she will repeat as an Olympic Champion and that she will finish her career brilliantly. The short program in which Kim Yuna is going to show at the Olympic is 'Send in the Clowns' (어릿광대를 보내주오) from 'A Little Night Music' by Stephen Sondheim. Kim Yuna wore a brightly coloured dress and performed an amazing program at the Golden Spin of Zagreb in December 2013. Also at the South Korean National Figure Skating Championship early in 2014, with her score surpassing 80 points, she carried home a new unofficial world record.
Unfortunately, when Kim Yuna spoke about her future career in 2012, she announced that she will retire from competition after the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic Games. She also indicated that she would prepare herself to be an International Olympic Committee member after the Olympics. She said, "I nourished a dream of becoming an IOC member while promoting the Korean bid for the 2018 Winter Olympics." I think all Koreans can't wait to see her standing on the podium in the middle to receive her medal. I'm very sure that it will be an amazing day again for Korea! |
