Move over Jessica, the new title of Ice Princess goes to...

[kakkoi-x.livejournal.com]

The August 14th episode of SBS’s ‘Kim Yuna’s Kiss & Cry‘ captivated viewers with its impressive performances and finally revealed the winners of the show, who would have the honor of participating in Kim Yuna’s upcoming ice show ‘Samsung Galaxy★Hauzen All That Skate Summer 2011‘.

We previously reported that f(x)’s Krystal and Lee Dong Hun would attempt the highest difficulty lift during this episode. Well, not only did they manage to successfully pull off the difficult lift, but they also wowed both the judges and viewers with their best performance yet.

Krystal and Lee Dong Hun skated to Bizet’s famous ‘Carmen‘ for this performance, and Krystal impressed viewers with her successful transformation into the passionate Carmen. During the climax of the performance, Lee Dong Hun looked like he was almost giving Krystal a back hug, but then surprised everyone by proceeding to rip off Krystal’s red skirt.

The judges did not hold back their praises when addressing the skating couple, and Kim Yuna rated their performance with an almost perfect score of 9.9, the highest she has ever given on the show. The figure queen even commented, “There were no flaws to point out.”

The judges also managed to tease the two by asking if they were dating in real life, with coach David Wilson commenting, “Just makes me wonder… is there something going on between the two of you?”, to which Krystal and Lee Dong Hun responded to with a resounding “No, not at all!”. Judge Park Hae Mi also directed towards Lee Dong Hun, “Dong Hun still can’t look at Krystal properly. You have a crush on her don’t you? To be honest, isn’t she very attractive?“, to which Dong Hun replied, “I think you have the wrong idea“, causing much laughter amongst viewers.

We also reported earlier about how Son Dambi put on her best ‘Kiss and Cry’ performance. Along with her partner Cha Oh Reum, the skating couple managed to pull off a beautiful and thrilling performance, with Son Dambi transforming into an ice queen with an electric violin, and Cha Oh Reum playing the role of a man imprisoned in handcuffs who was being awakened by the ice queen. The two skated out a beautiful love story on ice that was full of powerful spins and jumps.

The judges praised their performance with high compliments, and Son Dambi shed tears towards the end expressing how sad she was that the show was coming to an end.

It was a long journey for all the contestants, but in the end, it was Krystal and Lee Dong Hun who received the honor of first place on the show. Krystal expressed her gratitude for receiving the title, but commented, “I can’t believe this happened. We all worked so hard to get here, it makes me sad that we have to pick a winner“, and shared the honor of first place with all her fellow performers.

‘Kim Yuna’s Kiss & Cry’ will air its final episode on the 21st, and will showcase an iceshow featuring Kim Yuna, Krystal, and Lee Dong Hun.

YES! I always enjoy watching her performances, although it's a shame Claudia and Yunho didn't get to finish right through the end, Krystal was definitely one of my favourites! Love seeing the bitchy stares from Son Dam Bi when she flawlessly carries out her performance lol.

[fallingstarryuu.livejournal.com]

[hzuki.livejournal.com]

Heheheh most skaters worth their salt have all done Carmen, it'd make sense that Krystal would too as her final performance! Flawless bb was flawless. This show made Battle of the Blades pale in comparison

[rikayla.livejournal.com]

i haven't watched clips of this show in a while, so seeing that krystal performance; i'm actually very impressed! those lifts in her performance are pretty difficult, especially for someone who basically has been taking a crash course in pairs figure skating!

[funkaliciousss.livejournal.com]

everything is blocked. :(

[kakkoi-x.livejournal.com]

hmm..can you see them now?

[kakkoi-x.livejournal.com]

I loved it too, I think it's a remix made just for kiss & cry though.

[qrizta.livejournal.com]

I'm so happy she won. She's so awesome and she has a good chemistry with her partner.

YAAYYY! Sica-sama must be happy and proud.

[helveticalight.livejournal.com]

Awww baby Jung, why can't some of your athleticism rub off on your older sister? lol But yay for her winning! :D

[qrizta.livejournal.com]

Sica was athletic back when she had enough sleep lol

[suzieeq-luv.livejournal.com]

Kim Yuna makes some of the best faces xD
And Krystal made a very pretty Carmen

Now I feel like watching Howl's Moving Castle

Congrats to Krystal and her partner.

[suzieeq-luv.livejournal.com]

But I think partner wise I like Son Dambi and her partner :/

[cagallisakura.livejournal.com]

I really liked how Krystal constantly improved after each episode and how she proved people wrong when they said she just gets lifted. So proud of baby Jung!

[jela-ow.livejournal.com]

omg the part where bb jung is getting her hair and makeup done. so many products. I WANT EVERYTHING D:

[shimukendou.livejournal.com]

LOL @ the American(?) judge shipping Krystal and Donghun. XD

After this whole Kiss&Cry stint, I'm now starting to look up to Krystal (who's even younger than me). She's really athletic and competitive, it's really inspiring.

[fibfables.livejournal.com]

urgh this girl is like perfect ;~;

[honeyfunnybunny.livejournal.com]

she deserved it imho.

although most of the couples that were paired up with a male professional skater(who did all the work during the lifts), but i feel like krystal really embraced it and was very graceful, flexible, made it look effortless, and was really good at expressing emotions.

surprised that son dambi got that far though, not really impressed with her skating. she's a little stiff and rather.... empty? lol.

sad that the show is coming to an end :( i really enjoyed watching how attached people grew to ice skating and how their relationship with their partners developed. and of course that yunho and claudia had to give it up :(

[mycolorisacolor.livejournal.com]

adorable and talented maknae <3
