Yuna Kim - Korean Pop Singer

[riveredge]

Kpop or Jpop, I hope she doesn't enter that world! You can have fun all you want but stick to skating Yuna!

just curious- can she really sing.
i mean all i hear is the music, her voice is so soft.
so i wonder. does she lip sync it to the words. just wondering.
the few tibits i do hear sounds like a nice voice but it doesn't carry well over music that is played loud.

Who cares Kpop or Jpop!
But Yuna has a beautiful singing voice!

That's right!

This is about a skater singing live in the stage at home.
NOT about K-pop or J-pop! Get back to your seat, plz!

I was watching KBS World recently, and there was a piece about a singer named Yuna Kim. But not the one you think. There is a difference between her name and that of the Olympic champion. The former is transliterated as Yu-na, while technically the latter is transliterated as Yeon-a or Yeo-na. I gather that a Korean can easily distinguish between the two.

^ Yeah, I know who you're talking about.

And, there're so many different persons with the same name in Korea because Korean name mostly consists of just 3 characters (1 for last name and the rest for first name).

For example, your first(??)name, Alex is "알렉스" in Korean, already 3 characters without last name.

Added to that, "Kim" is the most common surname in Korea.

Sorry off the topic...

lip sync

Genius! I thought it was 100% live! Would you let me know exactly when she was out of sync? I'd like to check.

The former is transliterated as Yu-na, while technically the latter is transliterated as Yeon-a or Yeo-na.

You are right with the latter, but the former is Kim Yoon-Ah, the lead vocalist for the band Jaurim. One of my favorite songs of Jaurim is

Never did I think that a Korean skater would sell air-conditioners with a Korean-sung version of "Sugar Sugar" by the Archies, or Sing Sing Sing by Benny Goodman.

How is this related the quality of the country's music scene?? They paid for the copyrights for the CM jingles, otherwise Samsung Electronics, the CM owner, should have been sued by the copyright owners, if copyrights are what you are talking about.

My favorite Yu-Na singing to a Boa's song. Private video shot 3 years ago. She looks at home and carefree.
