Han Yeoreum

Yeojoon Lee was the short track skating athlete, but he was the eight place of the team, so he had no chance to become the Korean national team member for the upcoming Olympic. However, for some reason, there was an empty place for a national team member, so he became the member officially ‘by chance’. Then, Yeojoon met Jihoon Nam, who was the top of the short track skating in Korea, and they had become roommates, which was the starting point that they get to know each other. As they spend time together for the training, they found that they had emotions to each other, and soon, they became couple in the end. For more, Jihoon became two times Olympic gold medalist for the short skating, and Yeojoon got the bronze medal for the first time. 

Olympian

As we descended, medals hanging around our necks and listening to the national anthem, reporters swarmed in front of us and took pictures. In the case of the 500-meter event, the gold, silver, and bronze medals had all gone to Korean athletes, and so Korean reporters were the only ones there.


There were reporters that I recognized from Media Day at Jincheon, and reporters who’d asked me harsh questions that day I fell in the 1,500-meter, and reporters who’d cried as they asked me questions just yesterday once the relay medal was confirmed. All of the questions regarding the race had been answered yesterday, and now, all that was left was to ask our final thoughts.
