Lee Hae-in (19, Sehwa Girls’ High School), who returned home with a gold medal around her neck, remembered the advice of Kim Yuna, the ‘Queen of Figure Skating’.
Lee Hae-in said, “(Kim) Yuna gave me advice before participating in this competition,” while returning to Korea via Incheon International Airport on the 14th. He also pointed out that the gaze was not correct. I tried to supplement the part that Yuna unnie advised.”

Lee Hae-in, who stood in front of reporters at the return home, held up the gold medal and said, “I thought I was dreaming when I saw my name at the top of the leaderboard.
