Figure skater Lee Dong Hoon and f(x)’s Krystal showcased an outstanding lift and subsequently placed first on SBS’s figure skating reality program, ‘Kiss & Cry‘. They were given the privilege of being on the ‘Ice Show‘ stage along with Kim Yuna and other national figure skaters.
Holding a mini-interview in her dressing room at Olympic Stadium on August 15th, Krystal revealed that she felt intimidated going on the ‘Ice Show’ and added that she didn’t expect first place.
Krystal said, “On the day of the last contest, mistakes were being made during the lift and it was unstable during practice. The other cast members were exhibiting excellent skating skills, so I didn’t expect to win.
Meanwhile, Lee Dong Hoon commented, “Even though I’m an athlete, there were times when I wanted to give up. On the other hand, Krystal doesn’t give up no matter how hard and tired she is. Her perseverance in achieving greatness was inspiring.”
Lee Dong Hoon also revealed the real reason behind how Krystal was able to handle such a fantastic lift. He complimented, “I was surprised by Krystal when we were performing the lift. When you’re performing a lift, you can’t flex your entire body; there are some parts you have to loosen up and some parts where you have to flex. However, Krystal had a great sense of that. It’s not something you learn and I think Krystal was gifted with that intuition.”
After performing the awe-striking lift, Krystal was asked by fellow f(x) members and other friends to teach them how to skate; in addition, Krystal stated that she will continue to ice skate.

Judge Park Hae Mialso directed towards Lee Dong Hun, “Dong Hun still can’t look at Krystal properly. You have a crush on her don’t you? To be honest, isn’t she very attractive?“, to which Dong Hun replied, “I think you have the wrong idea“, causing much laughter amongst viewers.
We also reported earlier about how Son Dambi put on her best ‘Kiss and Cry’ performance.

On the 3rd, SM Entertainment confirmed, “Despite working on his schedules overseas, Yunho showed his passion for the program by practicing whenever he could. His partner, Claudia, is also preparing as a backup national athlete for the ‘Junior Figure Grand Prix’ and hasn’t had the time to balance her schedule for the show. Thus, they’ve both decided to voluntarily withdraw from the show.”
Their performance last week will thus be their last performance together for the show. There is still a team to be eliminated, however, for the fifth match.

The 4th round required a jump and Yunho decided to attempt an ‘axel jump’. An axel jump is a ‘difficult jump’ that has a forward take-off. Yunho shocked the judges by successfully completing his goal.
After the performance he said, “During rehearsals, the chances of failing the axel jump was 95% and the chances of succeeding was 5%, but I insisted on doing it.”

Kim Yuna praised, “You always display head-spinning, awesome performances. I really enjoyed watching your performance today.“ Dong Hun replied, “I made a mistake in our first jump, and I think my partner lost her energy after that. I’m really sorry about it.”
During her interview after the performance, Krystal explained, “My condition wasn’t well that day. I think everything just hit me all at once the moment we finished our stage. I had lost my appetite that day because of my bad condition. After our performance, I got really dizzy and couldn’t stand back up.”

On the July 24th broadcast of SBS’s ‘Kiss & Cry‘, Yunho and Claudia put on a marionette concept performance, while SHINee’s Minho made an appearance as their team’s friend.
Lifts were the big project for Yunho’s team. Claudia feared lifts because she was used to skating along and Yunho had difficulty because he was not a professional skater.
The two began their performance as masked dolls. SHINee’s Minho played a puppetmaster, making Yunho and Claudia move like marionettes. They successfully performed a variety of difficult skills such as the white mushroom spin, marionette lift, curve lift, straight couple sequence, and lunge.
Judge Go Sung Hee said, “Though I think you can do more when it comes to skill, you did something that others didn’t do.” Kim Yuna said, “I saw that you’ve improved your lifts from an uncertain lift to one that is much more steady. The spins were great as well.” Kim Jang Hoon said, “I think Yunho has the greatest capability. Your confident expression looks cool to even a fellow guy like me.”
Meanwhile, the Yunho and Claudia couple earned 36 points out of 40.
Son Dambi recently wowed the audience with her rapid costume change routine.

With the exception of her shaky camel spin, Son Dambi professionally carried out her difficult routine. About halfway through, Son Dambi went to Oh Eun Young and performed her costume change trick twice.

Singer and panel judgeKim Jang Hoon had nothing but praise for Yunho, stating, “Even from the viewpoint of a man, Yunho’s performance was amazing and impressive.”
SHINee’s Minho had also joined the performance as a puppet master, leading judges to ask, “You’re famous for being an athletic idol. Watching Yunho’s performance, did you ever think of wanting to skate?” Minho wittily replied, “It’s amazing to see Yunho hyung’s stage live, but if I practice…”

IU and Kim Yuna released their much-anticipated duet track for SBS’s “Kiss & Cry“, “Ice Flower“!
Representatives of “Kiss & Cry” revealed, “IU and Kim Yuna’s duet track was recorded back on June 8th in the recording studio and was revealed for the first time on the episode aired on the 19th.”
“Ice Flower” will be used as the new theme song for the show, as its lyrics express a message of hope that asks everyone to overcome their obstacles. Produced by Lee Min Soo (“Nagging“, “Good Day“), the track shows that Kim Yuna’s own vocal talent doesn’t pale in comparison to IU’s.
Representatives continued, “It normally takes over two hours to record a song, but they managed to finish it in an hour, which surprised all of the staff members.”
Profits from the digital single will go towards the development of better training environments for figure skaters. Figure skaters in Korea do not yet have their own exclusive ice-rink and must share with ice hockey players. In an effort to aid the figure skaters that must move ice-rinks late at night after hours, the two have decided to donate their profits towards the cause.
You can support the cause by purchasing the music, check it out below.

The official later added, “IU has recently had a lot on her plate lately with her busy schedule… On shorter days of practice, she skates for 3 hours. On longer days, she skates for 5 hours. Whatever the case may be, she is constantly practicing to improve her image… Seeing that IU lacks dancing talents, we’ve been watching the show and saw that her development was slow. Even so, she constantly practices with patience… While she has bruises all over, she is working diligently to show a good image of herself.”

In addition to the performance, the show highlighted the pair’s practice sessions. Because the two couldn’t find the time in between their busy schedules to meet very often, they lacked a certain aspect of teamwork. Kim Byung Man also became frustrated frequently because of his injury.
Reviewing their routine, judge Kim Yuna said, “I was so captivated by your acting that I almost forgot I was supposed to be judging…Out of all the figure skating acting I’ve seen, this was the best.”
In the end, Kim Byung Man and Lee Soo Kyung received a high total score of 37.1. Feeling incredulous over the score, Kim Byung Man expressed his emotions with a shaky voice and began to tear up. His suffering also drew strong emotions from Kim Yuna, his fellow gagmen colleagues, and the other ‘Kiss & Cry’ contestants, leading them to cry as well.
When asked why she was crying, Kim Yuna stated, “I wouldn’t have known [of his pain] because he acted so perfectly in the performance. It’s unfortunate and I feel sorry that he’s in pain. I feel sympathetic towards him because I’ve performed several times with an injury as well.”

When she got on the ice, IU managed to pull off moves like ‘through the leg’, ’spiral’, ‘rotational rifts’, and other complex stunts. Kim Yuna stated, “You’ve improved greatly compared to a week ago. Thank you for working hard.”

Judge Kim Jang Hoon added, “It seems you’ve managed to overcome your obstacles. I would like to applaud you for that.”
IU received a total score of 32.6 in the end, which led her to burst out, “I received a lot of praise, so I definitely feel more confident. There were a lot of people who didn’t view me in a positive light, so I was honestly very upset.

On the June 12th broadcast of SBS’s “Kim Yuna’s Kiss & Cry“, Yunho and his skating partner,Claudia Mueller, gave a pair-skating performance from the musical “Grease“.

Yunho revealed, “I was so shocked during the half-way evaluation that I wondered if I would be able to stand on stage. We have a performance, but I just came back from abroad today.”
The two skaters were much more in sync during the actual performance, but because of the lack of practice time, Yunho did make some mistakes.
The experts stated that Yunho’s skating was good, but that they were disappointed by his mistakes. Skater Kim Yuna stated, “Your spiral was good, but I was a little disappointed in the speed.” SingerKim Jang Hoon commented, “I liked that you didn’t get flustered when you fell and got back up.”

Shamelessly brushing his hair back with an over-sized wide tooth comb was a given, as he went on to flawlessly pull off the cute and serious, yet swagger-filled playboy act. Park Hae Mi, seated on the special judge panel, praised Yunho commenting, “It’s as if I’m seeing John Travolta himself.”
Claudia Mueller, who gained fame as an ‘ulzzang’ figure skater, took the role of Sandy, as she and Yunho showcased their vibrant skills on the ice.
It is said that the mere entry of the ‘visual couple’ of “Kiss & Cry”, Yunho and Claudia, made the audience scream in excitement due to their beauty.
Grabbing the audience’s attention with a glamorous entry, the couple’s performance set the stage on fire with catchy old school music and flashy spins.

7 June:
On June 6th, AGB Nielson Media Research recorded the viewer ratings of the June 5th broadcast of “Kiss & Cry” as 5.7%, which is 2.5% lower than their May 29th broadcast, which came in at 8.2%.
“Kiss & Cry” was broadcast during the second segment of the “I Like Sunday” corner for the first time, as “Kiss & Cry” had previously been broadcast in the first segment at 5:20 PM. ”Kiss & Cry” was the follow-up program to “Heroes” and its time slot was switched with “Running Man“, which was originally aired during the first segment, in hopes of better ratings.
However, though the show was placed in the first segment to generate better ratings, it faced competition from MBC’s “I Am A Singer” and KBS 2TV’s “Qualifications of Men“.
Therefore, its order was switched with “Running Man” once again, but it had an embarrassing result when the show received lower ratings than before. On the other hand, “Running Man” had 7.0% viewer ratings, which exceeds their previous week’s 6.2% rating.
On that particular day, the competing shows had the following ratings: KBS 2TV’s “1 Night, 2 Days” recorded 25.9% and MBC’s “New Employee” came in at 4.5%.
After coming away with a win on the pilot episode of ”Kiss & Cry“, TVXQ’s Yunho seems to be struggling to keep his title due to his overwhelming schedule.
The show’s June 5th episode focused on the stars’ preparations for their performances. Throughout his training period, Yunho kept apologizing to his partner, Claudia Mueller. Because of TVXQ’s upcoming world tour and Japanese promotions, the two had only two days to train.
Even with the two days, Yunho could only train in the early morning, which was difficult for Mueller, who’s a student in junior high school. She commented, “We’d train from midnight until two or three in the morning, so it was very tiring.”
The lack of preparations showed in the way their steps would tangle. Yunho fell over while holding Mueller up and continued to fall during all of the spins and spirals required for their performance.
Instead of expressing frustration, however, Yunho seemed more apologetic towards Mueller and had a difficult time holding up his head in front of her.
Judge Kim Yuna commented, “In ice dancing, the man must throw himself on the floor if he has to in order to protect the woman from a fall. It’s harder for couples than singles when there isn’t enough practice. It didn’t really live up to my expectations.”
In the following interview, Yunho said, “I think I felt too safe because I had won our opening show. I am most apologetic towards my dongseng, Claudia Mueller.”
Check out whether Yunho manages to overcome the obstacles on June 12th!
Figure skating coach Choi In Hwa revealed that he felt like the sky was falling on him when IU was selected to be his partner.
On the June 5th broadcast of SBS’s “Kiss & Cry“, viewers saw the stars’ status reports as they prepared for their first couple match which will be shown next week.
Prior to the partner set-up, the stars and trainers sat down for interviews, during which Choi In Hwa said, “I want to work with someone who is athletic“, pointing out f(x)’s Krystal specifically.
He explained himself by saying, “People around me have said that I didn’t look too happy when I became partners with IU. I was just being serious, but people took it the wrong way.”
But viewers found that Choi In Hwa couldn’t hide his disappointment when he was partnered with the last place contestant. The trainer explained, “I felt like the sky had fallen. I was waiting for them to partner me with Krystal, but when IU was the only one left, I didn’t know what to do. I was really sad.”
IU, upon discovering her trainer’s reaction, exclaimed, “He was disappointed?! I didn’t notice cause he didn’t show it. Was he acting towards me?“.
Still, she expressed her strong will by telling him, “If you teach me, you will feel a sense of accomplishment. Since I’ve already shown everything, I won’t be disappointing anyone anymore.”
On June 12th, “Kiss & Cry” will be having their first elimination from one of the ten teams.
f(x)’s Krystal has been put up on the chopping block once again for her rude attitude, only this time it was on SBS’s “Kiss & Cry“.
June 5th’s episode revealed the stars’ preparation process as they geared up for their first performance. Immediately, viewers noticed an air of tension between Krystal and her trainer, Lee Dong Hoon.
Like any trainer would, Lee attempted to teach Krystal from the basics, step by step. However, Krystal proved to be a bit of a difficult student, “He only teaches me the basics, and basics are no fun.”
With a sigh, Lee remarked, “It was difficult to train her because she refused to learn the basics. She would just stand there, and even when I told her to skate, she wouldn’t.”
Some viewers felt that Krystal’s poor attitude escalated when she bluntly stated, “He’s a poor instructor because he’s only used to singles. It’s really frustrating.” Lee is also seven years her senior, but Krystal didn’t hesitate to glare at him whenever their opinions clashed.
Netizens expressed, “Is she immature or what? She really doesn’t know how to manage her image”, and “She received so much hate for her rude attitude last time and she’s doing it again.”
3 June:
During the latest recording of SBS’s “Kiss & Cry“, Krystal and her partner created a partner routine that resembled the love story of ‘Romeo and Juliet’.
Krystal dressed like a ballerina with her white, flowing outfit, and impressed the audience with her strong posture and flexibility. In fact, Kim Yuna complimented Krystal when she stretched her entire body over her partner’s bent knees with perfect positioning.
Kim Yuna praised, “That was a beautiful movement.”
Watch out for the upcoming episode on June 5th for Krystal’s routine!
2 Juni:
Child actress Jin Ji Hee figure-skated to SNSD’s “Hoot” for her performance on “Kiss & Cry“.
To the amusement of fans, she dressed up in a similar outfit to SNSD’s stage outfit, and even sported go-go boot-like skates.
In the interview prior to the performance, Jin Ji Hee confessed, “I’m not really good at skating but since I’m an actress, I will make sure to express myself well. I hope Yuna-unni likes it.”
She did fall a little, but managed to keep her smile till the end. Kim Yuna noted that Jin Ji Hee pulled Yuna’s signature “Danse Macabre” pose, and asked why Jin Ji Hee said, “I did it on “HighKick Through the Roof” but I wanted to do it better this time around.”
Though she showed a lot of energy and effort, she was not able to receive the score she wanted.
After the performance, Jin Ji Hee got a little teary-eyed and said, “I don’t like Yuna unnie because she gave me a low score.”
She sort of reminds us of a little Yuri, but toss us your thoughts below:

IU is currently practicing quite diligently to redeem herself of her less-than-perfect performance onSBS’s “Kiss & Cry“.
On May 29th, the “Kiss & Cry” star performance ranking was released, and IU came in last out of the 10 spots.
It seems like she is practicing at the moment to make up for her poor performance from last time, as every time she goes on to the rink to practice, she spends around five hours doing so.
IU said, “My thigh muscles are aching so badly because I used muscles that I don’t usually use. However, I can’t practice lazily.”
One related source said, “IU is the type of person who needs to perfectly finish off one task to move onto the next”, and it was revealed that when she’s training, she barely eats or drinks.
Her male figure skating partner said, “By the next time she’s on the show, IU will have gone through a complete transformation.”
The PD of “Kiss & Cry” said, “IU is really trying very hard and improving. I hope viewers will cheer her on.”
30 Mei:
According to the May 27th reports from SBS, Krystal screamed out loud, “Aaakk~~” during the filming for a performance on the show, which took place at the SBS Production Center in Ilsan on May 24th. Her scream came out naturally as the performance required her male partner to lift and spin her around.
Krystal explained, “I couldn’t help but scream because it was so scary.”
Krystal’s coach added, “For someone to scream like that during a performance is a very rare occurrence. There’s cases when couples quietly count, ‘1-2…1-2′ to match each other, but this is the first time I witnessed something like Krystal’s scream.”
On this day, Krystal safely finished her prepared routine, receiving a big round of applause from the audience.
23 Mei
On May 22nd, SBS’s “Kiss & Cry” aired its pilot episode, which featured 10 top stars taking part in Korea’s first ever skating reality program.
“Kiss & Cry” might have been too ambitious, or maybe it’s because the two-month training period was too short to try and master the sport, as viewers thought that the show failed to live up to its expectations.
Lee Ah Hyun was the first up and took to the stage with her daughter. Unfortunately, she wasn’t able to receive an adequate score due to her lack of skill. Through tears, she commented, “I was personally going through a difficult time in my life, and without ‘Kiss & Cry’, I’m not sure I would’ve been able to overcome it. I wanted to show my daughter what I was capable of.”
f(x)’s Krystal performed “Tango” and showed off a variety of tricks (spiral with a chair) which stunned Kim Yuna and the judges. TVXQ’s Yunho garnered the most points with 35.3 score thanks to his display of complex spins and jumps. He also earned a favorable review from speed skater Lee Kyu Hyuk.
Unfortunately for IU, Seo Ji Suk, Son Dambi and the rest of the cast, they failed to impress their audience. Viewers thought that IU didn’t show much other than singing her song, “Good Day”, for a few minutes on the ice. Judge Go Sung Hee coldly remarked, “It was nice listening to your song.”
After the broadcast, netizens commented, “All of the skills of the contestants failed to live up to expectations”, “They need a gimmick other than Kim Yuna”, and “There was nothing much to watch.”
Check out some of the performances below.

Having been cast for SBS’s figure skating variety show, “Kim Yuna’s Kiss & Cry“, f(x)’s Krystalrecently sat down for an interview with Asia Today and shared her experiences.
“I fell so many times while rehearsing that I now have bruises on my knees. It’s still really fun and I’m totally charmed by the entire sport of figure-skating,” she began.Moving onto the topic of working with Kim Yuna, she commented, “It was hard for me to regard her as anyone other than a world star, but she’s extremely caring and tries to make everyone comfortable. She shares fun stories with me and we’ve gotten a lot closer by talking to each other more. When would I ever get a chance to be close to a national hero like this?”
When asked about how her first recording went, she replied, “Getting on the ice made me really nervous and I didn’t have a lot of time so I wasn’t able to rehearse as much. The day before the recording, my choreography was changed up so I had to memorize it just a few hours before I was to go in. I am a bit disappointed with that.”
Krystal also gave a thumbs up for the atmosphere on set. “It’s tiring physically, but spending time with the other nine members of the show is fun. Park Jun Geum and Lee Ah Hyun are both older than I, but I don’t feel the age difference at all and they treat me comfortably.”
“Kiss & Cry” will premiere on May 22nd.
19 Mei
It looks like there’s a good chance of IU singing the theme song of “Kim Yuna’s Kiss & Cry” with the figure skating queen herself!
Last week on May 10th, Kim Yuna filmed an episode of the show, where she delivered a figure skating performance with ten other people.
IU showed up on the set with a figure skating outfit of her own that day, and performed a cute show to the music, earning the applause of the audience.
Afterwards, IU said to Kim Yuna, “I want to sing the theme song for the show with you.” Supposedly, the staff were caught off guard because they had no idea that IU was actually interested.
Kim Yuna responded, “I really like IU. I would love to do it together.”
Composer Lee Min Soo who is known for producing hit tracks like the Brown Eyed Girls’ “Sign”and Jo Kwon and Ga-In’s “We Fell In Love” has been tasked to compose the logo song, with many anticipating how this meeting between the ‘national little sister’ and the ‘best composer’ will turn out.
A representative of SBS stated,”Kim Yuna and IU’s duet recording will be held sometime this month. The logo song will be revealed in June.”
Netizens commented, “Two of the nation’s little sisters’ duet”, “A duet with IU after one with Park Jung Hyun“, and “I’m looking forward to this”.
