Olympic figure skating champion Kim Yu-na will debut a new gala program "Bulletproof" in the Samsung Anycall Hauzen 2010 All That Skate Summer ice show at KINTEX, Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, from July 23 to 25.

Kim's management agency All That Sports said, "Kim is in Toronto preparing a new punk and hip-hop program with unique choreography to La Roux's 'Bulletproof,' a quintessential electropop track."

The show will also feature other major figure skating stars such as U.S. legend Michelle Kwan, 2006 Olympic silver medalists Sasha Cohen of the U.S. and Stéphane Lambiel of Switzerland, and 2007 World Champion Brian Joubert of France.

Figure skating fans will soon be treated to an intriguing mix of Kim Yu-na’s smooth, fluid movements and throbbing beats of hip-hop.

The 20-year-old is set to reveal a new hip-hop inspired gala program at the Samsung Anycall Hauzen 2010 All That Skate Summer, held in Ilsan from July 23 through 25.

Kim’s agency All That Sports revealed that Kim left for Toronto last May to work with choreographer David Wilson to prepare a program titled ‘Bulletproof.’




“I really liked the song ‘Bulletproof’ the first time I heard it,” Wilson said. “We were looking for a song that is different but appealing to the general public, and ‘Bulletproof’ was the perfect match for us.”

‘Bulletproof,’ according to Wilson, will showcase “both the charming and strong sides of Kim.”

To prepare for the new program she also worked with famous hip-hop choreographer Clarence Ford. The show will also feature other renowned skaters including Michelle Kwan, Sacha Cohen and Silvia Fontana as well as younger players such as Kwak Min-jung and Kim Hae-jin.
