Yoona Congratulates Lee SeungHoon
So who exactly is Lee SeungHoon?
For this of you who haven’t been completely absorbed by the 2010 Winter Olympics, Lee SeungHoon is a representative for South Korea in men’s speed skating. He has won both the silver and gold medals in the 5,000-m and 10,000-m categories, respectively, becoming the first South Korean to do so.
He completed the 10,000m speed skating in an amazing 12 minutes and 58 seconds.
But perhaps more importantly, Lee SeungHoon once revealed that SNSD’s Yoona is his ideal type.
In response to this, Yoona has specially sent her congratulations to SeungHoon through her agency SM Entertainment, stating “I was very impressed by his amazing performance in the 5,000m match, but as soon as I heard word of his gold medal win at the 10,000m match, as a fellow Korean, I was very proud. It’s great news.”
On that note, Yoona continued “I’ve heard that Lee SeungHoon chose me as his ideal type. I’m grateful…I wish to congratulate him on winning gold, I will continue to cheer him on.”
