There is a rumor circulating among Korean fans that So Youn Park may retire from competition, after All That Skate 2019 this week.

Oh No!!! So Youn Park such a lovely skater, love to watch her perform, with EunSoo qualifying 2 spots for world's I would have thought she had a chance to qualify for 2020 Montreal.

There are so many young, talented skaters that it may be tough. I can see Korea becoming becoming quite competitive.

Any news on coaching changes for Eunsoo? I remember everyone was saying this was inevitable after what happened at Worlds.

 

[binbinwinwin]

^That's what people online (as outsiders to the situation) were saying, nobody knows what happening right now.

For some confirmed news, this was from a few weeks ago but Kyueun Kim was announced to skate with Maxime Deschamps earlier however her mother has confirmed that Max had a tryout while they were in Korea and would rather skate with the girl he had a tryout with so this partnership is now over. Kyueun is not looking for a new partner at this time so SK will not have a senior pairs team this upcoming season.

 

[Jeschke]

so SK will not have a senior pairs team this upcoming season.

So what's with Alex Kam? He retired completely, did not find a girl, or what's the story here?

So what's with Alex Kam? He retired completely, did not find a girl, or what's the story here?

He could not find a partner. Considering his height, it would not have been easy.

She's going to be a part of Cirque du Soleil Axel.

 

[kwanfan1818]

Congratulations to her! She'll be a great addition to the cast.

 

[Jeschke]

Soyoun was always one of my favourites.
She had a great career, made it to the olympics.

I just ignore the mental silly selection process the fed brought up for 2018 and am happy Soyoun had her redemption moment at this years nationals.
Her 3s3t and 2a3t were always to die for.

Here her pewter medal winning skates from 4CC's.

4CC 2016 FS

Thanks so much, a pleasure it was

Eunsoo is not on yesterday's photo from Rafael's training session/camp (not that it is a confirmation of her situation).

SBS Sports unearthed Yuna Kim's 2007 Worlds short program taken by an ENG:

2007 ISU 세계피겨선수권 쇼트 '록산느의 탱고' (ENG직캠) [퀸연아 다시 보기]

2007년 3월 23일, 눈부셨던 역사의 현장 - 도쿄체육관에서 ENG 촬영한 풀버전입니다~ 02:14 ~ 02:35 관중샷으로 넘어가니 너그러운 양해 바랍니다~^^; 연기 종료 직후 열광적인 현장 분위기에 놀라 카메라가 우왕좌왕한 것도요ㅜㅜ #김연아 #직캠 #일본관중

This YouTube channel looks like an official account. I guess ENG means Electronic News Gathering camera. You can skip 02:14 ~ 02:35, where the cameraman focused on the spectators.

The instagram says they represent Canada, not Korea.

I believe she edited it and it said Korea before when I first looked. I recognized those names from Canadian nationals in the past, so I wouldn't have just assumed it was Korea.

Do we know where she is now?

 

[Dobre]

Do we know where she is now?

Per the Korean thread on GS, she's in Korea, I believe with her previous coach, though I may have just assumed that detail. (Her previous coach was the one with her at Nationals last season).

 

[seabm7]

Do we know where she is now?

It seems that she's been in Korea mostly since the last Worlds.
