The prominent Korean figure skating star Kim Yu-na has been acknowledged by the city of Los Angeles with a special day, Aug. 7 to commemorate her success.
Kim, the 20-year-old Olympic gold medalist, will visit Los Angeles Friday to receive the “Proud Korean Award.”
Herb Wesson of the Los Angeles City Council submitted a resolution of "Yu-na Day" and the resolution passed unanimously Tuesday. Los Angeles has the largest Koreatown with a population of over 120,000 and Wesson said he is glad to proclaim Kim’s day on her visit to the biggest Korean community in the U.S.
"Kim, an Olympic gold medalist and global idol star, can become a role model not only to second generation Korean-Americans but also to others in the community sports world," Wesson was quoted as saying.
