Kim Yu-Na:  Her Name

Kim Yu-Na in Korean is 김연아 which is pronounced in the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) as [kim yən-a].  Her surname is 김(Kim, 金), the most common family name in Korea (Approximately 21% of ethnic Koreans have the family name Kim.); her given name, 연아 (姸兒 [yən-a]), means ‘a pretty child’, or ‘a pretty girl’.  The proper romanization of Kim Yu-Na’s given name is ‘Yeon-A’. Here is how she got her name ‘Yu-Na’, as told by her mother, Park Mi-Hee, in an interview.

Koreans do not always follow the conventional romanization guidelines of proper names when they spell their names in English, and Yu-Na was not different from other ordinary Koreans.  When she was a fourth grader, she applied for a passport to train overseas and spelled her given name in English as ‘Yun-a’, instead of ‘Yeon-A’.  Then a government employee made an error in the name (as ‘Yu-Na’, instead of ‘Yun-a’) on her passport.  Her mother first suggested that she would correct the error, but Yu-Na thought ‘Yu-Na’ would be easier for non-Korean speakers to pronounce, and on top of that, she liked the name ‘Yu-Na’ as is.  Since then, non-Korean speakers have called her Yu-Na Kim.

“

Even when you have raised up the temperature up to 99 degrees, it is said the water can never get to the boiling point if you fail to have the last one degree get past 99. The thing that boils the water is the last one degree. [The key to a success] is none other than enduring that last 1 minute when you feel like giving up.

“99도까지 열심히 온도를 올려놓아도 마지막 1도를 넘기지 못하면
영원히 물은 끓지 않는다고 한다. 물음 끓이는 건 마지막 1도.
포기하고 싶은 바로 그 1분을 참아내는 것이다.”

She is the incredible combination of beauty, grace, sensuality, technical ability.

I couldn’t have been more surprised or honored last summer when Korean figure skater Kim Yu-Na told me that as a 7-year-old, she was so inspired by my skating at the 1998 Winter Games that she memorized my skating routines, pretending to be at the Olympics.
Twelve years later, she no longer had to pretend. I have never seen a skater with such a combination of artistry and athleticism. From the first notes of her sassy Jame Bond medley to the closing Gershwin strains, Kim’s inspiring performances in Vancouver changed the face of figure skating forever.
Those 6 1/2 minutes on the ice left not only a mark in the record book but also an indelible impression on millions of young girls around the world. For Kim, the dream that began as a 7-year-old has been realized. For these girls, thanks to her, a dream and journey are just beginning.

작년 여름, 한국의 피겨 스케이터 김연아가 7살일 때,
나의 1998 나가노 올림픽 연기에 감명받아 자신의 올림픽 출전을 상상하며
그 연기 내용을 모두 외웠다는 말을 해주었을 때보다 더 놀라고 영광스러웠던 적은 없다.
12년 후, 그녀는 더이상 그런 상상을 할 필요가 없었다.
나는 예술성과 기술성이 그처럼 잘 조합된 스케이터를 본 적이 없다.
멋진 제임스본드 메들리의 첫 음부터 거쉰의 마지막 선율까지…
벤쿠버에서 그녀가 펼쳤던 감동적인 연기는 피겨스케이팅의 외연을 영원히 바꿔놓았다.
그녀가 빙판위에 섰던 6분 30초는 신기록으로 기록되었을 분만 아니라
전세계 수백만의 어린 소녀들에게 잊혀지지 않을 깊은 인상을 남겼다.
7살에 시작된 그녀의 꿈은 마침내 실현되었다.
그리고 이제, 김연아로 인해 또 다른 소녀들의 꿈이 시작되고 있다.
