Yuna Kim shared her thoughts on the project, saying, "I've been figure skating for nearly 20 years, but it's been 12 years since I retired, so my body is almost like an ordinary person's. Figure skating and ballet are distinctly different disciplines, so I'm not sure if I can meet expectations, but I hope people remember my efforts and recall my active days."

Previously, Yuna Kim appeared on Yoo Jae-suk's YouTube channel 'Pinggye-go,' where she discussed why she doesn't exercise, revealing, "I have lingering pains from my athlete days, including my knees, hips, and feet."

Meanwhile, Yuna Kim retired after winning a silver medal at the 2014 Sochi Olympics. She married Forestella member Ko Woo-rim, who is five years younger, after three years of dating in 2022.
