Kim Yuna highly praised f(x)’s Crystal – Worn in black-and-red dress, she showed a wonderful skating performance

Kim Yuna, a figure skating queen, highly praised Crystal, a member of f(x), for her amazing skating skill.

On the May 22 episode of SBS’s Kiss And Cry, emceed by Kim Yuna and Shin Dong-yeob, Korea’s famous TV host, several guests were invited to compete their skating skills including Son Dam Bi, IU, U-Know Yunho, Crystal, Seo Ji Suk, Park Jun Geum, Lee A-hyun, Kim Byeong-man, Jin Jihee and Lee Gyu-hyeok.

In the interview held in advance, Crystal showed confidence saying, “My father was a boxer and my mother was a gymnast. We are a so-called ‘sports family,’ so I think I have some advantage over others.”

On the episode, she showed off a powerful but still graceful skating dance in an impressive black-and-red dress to Por Una Cabeza, a movie track of Scent of a Woman. Her smart use of the chair she brought for her performance also won a high praise.

When asked about her thoughts of her own performance, she said, “I was disappointed for the chair to be moved to quite a wrong direction.” Then, the panel of judges asked her if she can do a spiral move without chair. And she showed her amazing technique of spiral without any supporting device, which drove the judges to drop their jaws open in amazement.

In addition, Kim Yuna felt satisfied at Crystal’s performance, saying, “You have a beautiful figure perfectly fit for figure skating.

Kim Yuna’s Kiss And Cry was designed to evoke the public interest in figure skating and maintain its popularity spurred by Kim Yuna. On the episode, the participants contested to form pairs.
