Rhythmic Gymnastics Queens perform SNSD Lionheart

[ladyvader-dd.livejournal.com]

Rhythmic Gymnastics is becoming immensely popular in South Korea, thanks to the national "fairy" Son Yeonjae. With her cute looks, shy demure and undeniable talent, Son Yeonjae has gained tremendous popularity among the public, with an almost idol-like status. She has done several endorsements , appeared on various variety shows and was also an ambassador during the 2015 World University Games in Gwangju. Rhythmic All-stars is an annual gala show held in South Korea where the best gymnasts worldwide is invited to perform, and it is aired on national TV. The participants covered SNSD's Lionheart for the opening of day 2. Other than Son Yeonjae (who placed 5th in the 2012 Olympics), participants include Belarussian Melitina Staniouta (ranked world 3rd), and Russians Margarita Mamun (world 2nd). Another collaborative stage was performed with singer 알리(ALi), who is most well known as a contestant in the Masked Singer.

I'm not sure how interested Omona is in Son Yeonjae (I'm not kidding about how popular she is in South Korea though), but I thought this is quite a cute cover, and not bad considering it was probably rehearsed in one day. It's pretty amazing because this is world champions (and rivals) coming together through Kpop! They also performed their normal routines in the show, such as this, do give it a watch uwu.

damn 90% look like they do not want to be doing that at all it was so awkward and some part of it were off rhythm which was weird considering like...that's their job

but Yeonjae looked happy :)

Slightly off topic, but that sentence makes me so sad.

Wasn't she in some scandal/controvery/mess awhile back? What was the deal with that?

She's so pretty though, i like how i feel when i look at her face, it makes me so happy. Such a happy virus.

I expected more from rythmic gymnasts.

They might have not had much time to practice, but it makes you think about how much work groups put into their synchronization and teamwork.

If you like, take a look at their other performances (on the same channel). They did both their competition routines (awe-inspiring really) and special performances, which is what they really train for, you won't be disappointed! I think the lion heart performance was more to cater to the Korean public audience lol.

Maybe they could have altered a bit the choreo to remind that they are gymnasts first, but they probably didn't have the time. It was a bit awkward but cute.
Yeonjae's smile throughout the performance was so cute awww. I hope she gets to meet SNSD after that, if she's a fan.
The one wearing a black dress seemed quite into it as well!
