About This Book
Kim Yu-na Takes Up Writing
Figure skating ace Kim Yu-na will publish a
collection of her observations titled "Kim Yu-na's Seven-Minute Drama"
on Jan. 28. Pre-sales booking begins on Thursday.
The title refers to the two-minute-50-second short program and the
four-minute-10-second free skate combined. Despite being a world figure
skating champion, Kim defines herself, "a simple, cool and down-to-earth
20-year-old figure skater who dreams of freedom and a normal life, has
blood type O, and eats everything except for things she doesn't like."
The publisher said Kim's candid accounts start from the day she began
figure skating at the age of seven to her preparation for the Winter
Olympics in Vancouver next month and future hopes. Kim was touted as a
child prodigy when she was in elementary school, dominating the field
and mastering five types of triple jumps at the age of 12.
However, hardship forced her to consider retiring twice during her
teens. The book deals with her attempts to overcoming these obstacles
and becoming the world's top figure skater. Kim writes in her own perky
way about choosing music and deciding choreography, and describes her
emotions before and after the competitions.
She recorded the details in a diary every night after training. Kim's
personal motto, according to the book, is "No pain, no gain."
