⛸️ Angels on the Ice! Kim Gilli & Im Jong-eon's Talent Donation & Kwak Yoon-gy's Tattoo Removal Struggle 💦 - 2026.05.07 | Short Track

Hello, fans! It's Bingpanwi Jiljureo! 😆 How is everyone doing? In celebration of Family Month in May, I've brought a lot of heartwarming news and exciting updates about our short track athletes. Shall we dive right in? 🚀

👼 Angels on the Ice, Kim Gilli & Im Jong-eon's Talent Donation!

Our 'Lamborgilli' Kim Gilli and World Championship gold medalist Im Jong-eon have rolled up their sleeves for the kids! ^[1] The two athletes participated in the '2026 SG Project' organized by Korea University and the Seongbuk Gangbuk Office of Education, personally teaching skating to elementary school students from local children's centers ^[7]. Seeing Kim Gilli kindly reaching out to kids hesitating on the ice, saying, "It's okay, let's hold hands and go," is just so heartwarming to imagine, right? 🥺 Im Jong-eon also actively worked as a daily instructor, guiding the children by the hand ^[1]. With lessons planned for about 200 kids until the end of the year, their positive influence is truly amazing! ^[8]

Oh, and Kim Gilli recently attended the opening ceremony of the 'KB Star Run' donation event, delivering a donation and even running with the participants ^[6]. Our ace's passion that never stops even off the ice is highly commendable! 👏

🏆 Kim Gilli Wins the Sogang Sports Award MVP!

The news of Kim Gilli's awards just never ends! This time, she proudly won the Most Valuable Player award at the 18th Sogang Sports Awards ^[2]. This is the perfect result of her establishing herself as the next-generation ace by winning two gold medals and one bronze medal at the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics! In her acceptance speech, she vowed, "I will not lose my original intention and will always do my best," showing that even her mindset is worthy of a gold medal 🥇 ^[2].

💌 A Touching Letter from Im Jong-eon's Mother

Im Jong-eon, who wore the 1000m bronze and 5000m relay silver medals at the Milano Olympics! In celebration of Family Month, a letter from his mother has been revealed ^[3]. It brought tears to my eyes as it was filled with her sincere feelings, from her pride in her son overcoming a severe injury and nearly a year of rehab during middle school, to her worries about the heavy responsibility he felt when he became a national team member 😢 Just like his mother's cheering message wishing him to "become more composed, refined, and experienced step by step," let's also give our full support to Im Jong-eon as he continues to grow beautifully! 💪 ^[3]

💦 Kwak Yoon-gy, 3 Years into Tattoo Removal... "Never do it!"

The recent updates of Kwak Yoon-gy, who retired last month after a 30-year athletic career, are also a hot topic ^[9]. Lately, he has been earnestly pleading on SNS and YouTube, saying, "Never get a tattoo" ^[10]. He has been undergoing tattoo removal procedures for a whopping 3 years, and he says he suffers from tremendous pain, feeling like his skin is burning even with numbing cream 😱 He must have suffered a lot, having to wear long sleeves to hide his tattoos even though he gets hot easily ^[11]. However, he is debating whether to keep the Olympic rings and Taegeukgi tattoos, which are symbols of his national team days, and many fans are suggesting he keep them as proud badges of honor! ^[4]

🛡️ Ironclad Defense for the National Team's Skates!

There's also reassuring sponsorship news to protect our national team athletes' precious equipment. Global hard case brand Pelican Products is supporting the short track national team with custom skate cases ^[5]. Thanks to these lightweight and durable cases, it's a relief to know that our athletes can maintain their best performance without worrying about skate damage even when traveling abroad! 🧳 ^[5]
