President Moon Jae-in and first lady Kim Jung-sook cheered for Team Korea`s short track speed skaters at the Gangneung Ice Arena on Feb. 17.
The couple was seen sitting in the stands watching the PyeongChang Olympics women`s 1,500 m and men`s 1,000 m quarter and semifinals, all the way through to the final match.
When Shim Sukhee, one of the strongest gold medal favorites, fell during the women`s 1,500 m first heat, the president and the first lady let out cries of despair. The couple applauded Shim when she got back up to finish the race, even though she missed a ticket to the semifinals.
Luckily, Shim`s teammates Kim Alang and Choi Minjeong both finished their qualifiers in the number one spot, and the presidential couple joyfully waved their hands in the air.
Next came the first men`s 1,000 m quarterfinal, a race that included three Korean speed skaters: Seo Yira, Lim Hyojun and Hwang Daeheon. When only Seo and Lim qualified for the semifinals, President Moon expressed his regret, saying, "What a shame to have to leave one behind, when all three are medal hopefuls."
Once the women`s 1,500 m final began, the cheers roared louder than ever for Choi Minjeong and Kim Alang. When Choi sped through the final lap to claim her gold, the president and first lady leapt up in celebration.
Finally, when Seo Yira, despite a collision and a fall, won the bronze in the men`s 1,000 m race, the presidential couple was thrilled, as were all the fans in the stands.
"Let`s stay until the flower ceremony," said President Moon to the first lady, beaming with pride.
