Figure skating queen Kim Yuna on June 6 returned to the ice for the first time in a year to perform in the ice show All That Skate 2019 at Seoul Olympic Park's KSPO Dome.
The 2010 Olympic gold medalist and 2014 silver medalist was the final performer to appear on stage in the event's opening number, with her entrance eliciting a flood of applause and cheers from the audience. The show was held from June 6-8 under the theme "Move Me."

Her first performance was accompanied by the Russian gypsy-style song "Variations on Dark Eyes." Donning a wine-colored dress, Kim appeared on the stage as the red spotlight began glowing amid the dark. Her performance lasted for about three minutes, showcasing techniques such as her trademark Yuna camel spin and Ina Bauer.
