The "Queen"

I'm sure you've all heard the news, it's the major headline over here as you may have guessed Kim Yu-na did it! She put on two amazing performancs that I've seen too many times to count on repeat on SBS. I still watch it though, she did a fantastic job!




There's more pictures here:

And... I just read this on the Korean times. You can read more about Yu-na and marketing here:

"No one can escape Kim Yu-na in South Korea. The 19-year-old has just dominated the skating rink in Vancouver, and is now raising her share of the advertising market to another world-record level.

There was more than enough advertising and merchandise featuring the sensational figure skater even before her winning of the gold medal at the Winter Olympics; there was Yuna milk, Yuna bread, Yuna SUVs, Yuna air-conditioners, Yuna supermarkets, Yuna facial cream and Yuna teddy bears."

Yuna milk? Sign me up! ^^

Here's a commercial I see ALL THE TIME at the gym. She's the new Nike face in Korea. If you search in YouTube for her commercials, there's dozen! I like this one and the lipstick commercial best.

  1. My friend was telling me that the last time Kim Yuna got second place, she received a lot of hate mail. I guess she has had a lot of motivation since then to do well.
