‘The queen of figure skating’ Kim Yuna and crossover group Forestella member Ko Woo-rim are getting married.
On the 25th, Go Woo-rim’s agency, Beat Interactive, said, “Go Woo-rim will get married to ‘figure skating queen’ Kim Yuna in October.”
The two first met on the occasion of the All That Skate Ice Show celebration in 2018, and after three years of dating, the love of marriage came to fruition.
The wedding will be held privately with close relatives and acquaintances.
The agency said, “Even after marriage, Go Woo-rim will continue to be active as a member of Forestella, a vocalist, and a crossover singer. We hope that you will support Ko Woo-rim’s activities, which will show a more mature image in a stable family.”
Yuna Kim is 32 this year, and Woorim Ko is 27, and they are a couple with a 5 year difference.
Earlier on this day, The Fact reported that Yuna Kim and Woorim Ko were enjoying a date on the 23rd. In the photo, Go Woo-rim is escorting her with an umbrella for Kim Yuna when it rains. According to reports, the two met while driving to and from each other’s houses by car, and even enjoyed dating while watching a movie.
On the other hand, Yuna Kim is a living legend in the world of figure skating who achieved the first Grand Slam in female figure skating by winning all of the world’s four major tournaments, including the Olympics, World Championships, Four Continents Championships, and Grand Prix Finals, and retired after the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. She has since served as an ambassador for the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.
