Yuna Kim
Yuna Kim’s recent figure skating career is nothing short of remarkable, with notable accomplishments including a gold medal win in 2010 and a silver medal in 2014 in the individual competition. Her exceptional talent on the ice earned her the nickname “Queen Yuna” and elevated her home country, South Korea, to new heights in the skating world. As a result, she is widely regarded as one of, if not the most recognized South Korean athlete worldwide. Despite retiring from competitive skating and not participating in the 2018 Winter Games held in South Korea, she still lit the Olympic cauldron that year. Currently, Kim remains busy with numerous endorsements and TV appearances. She married Ko Woo-rim in October 2022.

Brian Boitano
Prior to being immortalized in the South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut film by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, Brian Boitano had already made a name for himself by defeating Brian Orser in the 1988 Winter Games. Both accomplished figure skaters had won World Championships, but it was Boitano who emerged victorious. Following the release of South Park, Boitano’s life changed significantly, as even those previously unfamiliar with figure skating now viewed him as a hero. Parker and Stone have expressed their admiration for Boitano, and he has reaped the benefits. Apart from skating, he has transitioned into a motivational speaker and chef, even making an appearance on the TV show What Would Brian Boitano Make?, whose title references his South Park appearance.
