ehdtkqorl123, Is that you?




Dear blazingblades,

Anyway, it was translated into Korean and posted by somebody in Korea. But we are not sure that it can be passed to Yuna as you wished.

Personally I hope you will get her reply in any form.

If you succeed in getting any response from her, please do not forget our efforts in passing your letter and let us know so that we also try to write a ltter to her.

Good luck and thank you.

Edit: typing error

That is likely it, but since I do not have the proper software loaded to handle Korean text and Google Translator cannot access that dcinside.com site I cannot confirm. But the text does contain my correct Blazing Blades URL, so probably is it.

If I am fortunate enough to receive any response I will surely post it for all to read. Thanks again for all your efforts. Let me express to everyone here how respectful subscribers are to Yuna and each other which mirrors subscribers at the Michelle Kwan Forum. So I offer everyone here total

Thank you. I've read your open letter several times, and it cleanses the palate like nothing else. I'm saving it with my many other favorite articles/quotes about Yu-na.

There are fans who will argue about Yu-Na's place in history, which is a debate that will never end as new figure skaters continue to arise and push the boundaries of the sport. But what really matters at the end of the day, is how Yu-Na's performances have made us feel individually.

That is something real, that is something that can't be debated, and something that can't ever change or be taken away from us. And that's what I think is really wonderful about your letter...thanks for reminding all of us of that.

as always, wonderfully put, jaylee..

It is interesting how certain pieces of art be it dance, skating, paintings, sculpture, music, etc. have been known to move people to tears. (myself included!) Beauty is certainly non-linear and cannot be put into words. I guess that's what Bezic is saying when she says in skating people want to be swept off their feet, not counting points.

I guess Yuna has swept so many of us off of our feet. When I feel gratitude towards Yuna, I am really thanking her for having been swept off my feet and taken to another place be it feeling, emotion or even dimension.

jaylee, great point about our own individual experiences. That is what it is all about. And it is hard to put those experience into words at times. It took blazingblades several months to verbalize in words his experiences. I think many of us (myself included again!)recognize some of what he said in our own experience and were touched there. Thanks!

Dear blazingblades,

Finally, the translated letter started getting reverberation from Korean Fan Community.
It looks like you touched many of them and made them feel absolute empathy with you.

Best wishes,
Sincerely yours,

i didn't know we had a thread for that..

infact, it's not a thread...^^ it's a little window put on the left in YNKF Portal by Common some time ago...seems that some members completely missed it

[b]I was not prepared to witness what you showed to the world in Vancouver; I was simply unprepared to fathom the possibility of performance beyond anything I could have wished for, let alone imagined. Approaching some six months since your revelation to the world I feel compelled to express the imprint of your vision as expressed on Olympic ice those two days last February.

What a beautiful letter.

You spoke many of the same things that inspired me to continue visit this forum and looking forward to ever more amazing skating and other artistic expressions Yuna can bring to the world. I am amazed I am still here this long actually, as usually I get passionate about something for a few month and then wondered about something else.

Instead, Yuna remain a wonderful mystery to me. The joy and the pure amazement she bewitched her audience through the purity of skating. Her artistic expressions, her pure awesome physicality that is not based on brawn but smarts of physics and arts.

She is an artist, a musician on ice, and I am convinced her performance are a reflection of her soul like all true great artists are. What initially started as a cynical investigation lead to a discovery the rare pure heart and made me a fan, likely for life.

I wish nothing but the best for her what ever she ends up doing. She proved what is possible without reservation, and in a weird way, for once, no languages need to be expressed on why she is pure gold.

Thank you Blazingblades for sharing your heart with all of us.

Thank you Yuna. You revived my love for the skating. Your pure passion for the skating is similar to that of Yagudin I've missed so much. Stay healty and be a happy skater.

I think Yuna will see this - or maybe she has already seen it.
