Yuna Kim: Thick double-lidded eyes with a short bob… “A noticeably changed vibe”

Figure queen Kim Yuna has made a bold transformation with a short bob hairstyle.

Even after retirement, she continues to draw attention, and in her recently released photoshoot she captivated the public with a deeper gaze and a more mature atmosphere.

Fashion magazine W Korea unveiled Kim Yuna's photoshoot on the 28th, along with the comment, "The moment Kim Yuna's delicate emotions are reached."

The biggest change in this photoshoot is her hairstyle. Kim Yuna swapped her long straight hair, which she had kept for years, for a short bob that does not reach her shoulders. Combined with her more defined double eyelids and deep gaze directed at the camera, it maximized her signature elegance.

This is not the first time Kim Yuna's bob transformation has become a hot topic. Back in 2013, at a press conference related to the PyeongChang Winter Special Olympics, she also showed a shoulder-length bob style and earned the nickname "bob goddess." At the time, a lace dress emphasized her girlish image, adding to her loveliness.

In this photoshoot, she paired a dark jacket with a pleated skirt, creating an even more stylish and mature impression while exuding the aura of a model.

Meanwhile, Kim Yuna retired from active figure skating after the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. Later, in October 2022, she married Forestella member Ko Woo-rim, who is five years younger than her.

She continues to remain highly active, exerting lasting influence as an advertising figure, entertainer, and ambassador and promotional model for various brands. Recently, she appeared in a Google campaign video directed by Shin Woo-seok and drew attention for performing a ballet-choreographed reinterpretation of her legendary short program, "Dance of Death."
