In the arena of heroes who are judged by success or failure, Jin Yeon-er has done her best.
Since her debut, Jin Yeon-er has refreshed the world record again and again with her difficult moves and infectious performances, refreshing people's understanding of beauty. After suffering from various injuries and illnesses, Kim Yeon-na, who retired from the 2006 Turin Metropolitan Olympics due to age restrictions, ushered in her professional peak in the 08-09 and 09-10 seasons. She first won the world record with 207.71 points in the 2009 World Championships, and she became the first women's singles player with a total score of more than 200 points under the new scoring rules, winning with a margin of 16.4 points, and also becoming the player who won the world championship with the largest advantage since 2005.

The winner of the Vancouver Winter Olympics allowed Kim Yeon-na to complete the grand slam feat, after which Kim Yeon-er began to be busy with various social activities, did not participate in the competition for two years, when everyone thought she was ready to retire, in July 2012, Kim Yeon-er held an emergency press conference to announce a comeback, the goal is directed at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics.

The song chosen for the last game of Kim Yeon-na's professional competition is Piazzola's classic tango song "Goodbye To Nonino", Kim Yeon-er's atmospheric and deep performance fully demonstrates the charm of this song, and the taste of tango is perfectly integrated into figure skating, just when everyone thinks that Kim Yeon-er should defend her title, she has lost less than 5 points to the host player who made a mistake. People all over the world are crying out for Kim Yeon-er, but Kim Yeon-er calmly accepted the result and ended her perfect career with a silver medal.
Kim Yeon-er herself accepted the silver medal result, but her fans did not. On the afternoon of the end of the competition, more than 1 million people have protested on the world-class signature website Change.org, demanding that the International Skating Federation conduct a detailed investigation into the scoring of the free skating competition. On April 10, the South Korean Ice Federation officially submitted a complaint to the International Skating Federation, asking for a re-investigation of the referee team of the women's singles competition whether there was a "black box operation", but the International Skating Federation has not responded. A month later, fans couldn't sit still, and they ran a big advertisement at Myeongdong Station on Seoul Subway Line 4 titled "Kim Yeon-na Sochi Scandal," urging the Islamic Federation to announce the results as soon as possible. Until the World Cup, there were still fans who denounced Russia for Kim Yeon-na.
The fans' reluctance failed to keep the determined Kim Yeon-er, who decided to retire after the Sochi Winter Olympics at the time of her comeback, performed a three-day "thank you, goodbye" farewell performance on May 4, 2014, with about 33,000 fans from home and abroad bidding farewell to the queen.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Kim Yeon-er is a national treasure of South Korea, she is also the "national ideal lover" of Korean men, but this Korean public lover has a love affair. On March 6, 2014, photos of Kim Yeon-na and Kim Won-jung, a 30-year-old hockey player in south Korea's national army sports unit, were exposed online, and the love affair of the figure skating queen was revealed to the world for the first time. Subsequently, the brokerage company to which Kim Yeon-er belongs responded to the report, acknowledging the relationship between the two: "Almost all the reports of dispatch are facts, and Kim Yeon-er is indeed in a relationship with Kim Won-jung." Jin Yuan'er's boyfriend Jin Yuanzhong is 180 cm tall and weighs 80 kg, the two met in July 2012, and were photographed in August, because Jin Won-jung is a military identity, the two do not have much time to date, 2 times a month, often eat with couples and friends, avoid the sight of others, even if they see the two will not think of a couple relationship. However, the pressure of being the queen's boyfriend can be imagined, and many people think that Jin Yuanzhong is not worthy of Jin Yan'er, and he is not optimistic about the feelings of the two people.
Sure enough, in August 2014, Kim Young-in's boyfriend Kim Won-jung was mired in a scandal. During the training camp, Jin Yuanzhong lied to the coach to leave the dormitory, massaged on the way back to the team encountered a car accident, and the cause of the car accident was drunk driving and violation of traffic lights, Jin Yuanzhong ligament tear, in accordance with the doctor's advice to rest for 6 weeks. After the accident, Jin Yuan deliberately concealed the cause of the accident for more than a month and did not report it to his superiors. Not only that, Jin Yuanzhong was also exposed to love lingering nightclubs with a previous criminal record. During New Year's Day, he and other ice hockey players went to nightclubs in the Gangnam area of Seoul to drink, and there were many ladies accompanying him. After that, I went to the nearby karaoke shop and played until 7 a.m. the next day before leaving, "In the early morning, the team members left with their female companions." Kim Won-jung and a woman took a taxi to Matsushima, where they have been missing ever since.
When the outside world called on Kim Yeon-er to break up with her offending boyfriend, Kim Yeon-er also went to the hospital to visit the injured Kim Won-jung and took care of her boyfriend meticulously. In September, Kim Won-jung completed his service in the national army sports unit and officially retired. He was banned from the hockey league and removed from the national team because of the massage scandal. In November, Jin Yan'er was secretly broken up with her boyfriend, and the parties on both sides also acquiesced to the fact of the breakup, and Jin Yeon'er's fans applauded. However, in April 2015, Kim Yeon-na and Kim Won-jung quietly reunited, and Kim Yeon-na's agency said that "they started to communicate with a new mood, and both sides are currently cautious about this relationship." "The rumors of compounding were acquiesced. As soon as the compound news came out, South Korean netizens reacted fiercely, accusing Jin Yeon-er of choosing a boyfriend without vision: "Yeon-er, what is wrong with you?" Do you want to be hurt again? "The country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to move." The essence of the flower heart in the gold dollar will not change", "The two will definitely break up." However, there has been no news of the two breaking up again.
Not only on the field, outside the arena, Jin Yan'er is also brilliant, she has singing, piano, dance, violin, design and other amateur skills, participated in TV series, TV programs, evening recording, she is also the publicity ambassador of the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, the image ambassador of the Youth Winter Olympics, but also spares no effort to devote herself to charity activities, she has gained too many honorary titles.
Dazzling achievements, outstanding looks make Jin Yan'er become the darling of advertisers, jin Yan'er endorsement of product sales will increase exponentially, even if retired, Jin Yan'er's commercial value is still not reduced, popularity is no worse than any entertainment star. Almost every once in a while, Kim Yeon-er's advertising campaigns will come out, and coffee, jewelry, vacuum cleaners, and mobile phones will cover various fields.
At the age of 25, Kim Is not far from the public eye, and her status as a publicity ambassador for the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics and a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador has allowed her to maintain close contact with ice fans and the general public. Kim Yeon-er, who is in graduate school, talked about her life after retiring and said that she was not so busy, and she was doing her best for the development of Korean figure skating, but she had no plans to come back.
In a short period of time, there is no longer a phenomenon-level queen like Kim Yeon-er on the figure skating rink, but no one can bear to disturb this injured lady living the life she wants to live, just like this in the memory, just right!
