[@mackintoshmuggleton1639]

But Jun must be himself, not being Yuzu wannabe

[@daylisborn9499]

Omg he calls them “Javi” and “Yuzu” and I just think that’s adorable

What's with the juliet?

[@sarikachahal6188]

@@kima1767 Because in his R&J FS (2018-19) in the music there's a yell of Juliet, which for reasons I can't remember somehow gave him nicknams of Junliet

[@annabellelee0713]

@Sagrika Chahal They call JunHwan Junliet because he performed a song from Romeo and Juliet. So it turned out that fans gave him a nickname of Junliet

welcome to Johnny's fashion evaluation he sound normal tho 😂

[@user-qq1kg7du6r]

He has the best teachers...he has a lot to learn from Brian, Yuzuru, and Javier!!! He is the future of Korea in figure skating...Wish him a lot of success and all his dreams become true...👌

[@user-ij5op1rg6c]

many international fans don't no about brian. every single koreans hate him and there ain't a single compliment. cuz we know what he did. he did nothing when he was coaching yuna. he even dissed her after the olympics. it was yuna's effort and her mother, and her korean teachers who made yuna today. he just became famous thanks to yuna. and yuzuru is yuzuru. Junhwan always walked his own way to improve himself. I hope I delivered what I wanted to say cuz I'm bad at English.

[@nerorex7721]

ihateshiping Y Yuzuru seems to have learnt quite a bit from Brian. Javi wasn’t doing half bad as well with Brian and Junhwan has a good future ahead of him. Brian coached many skaters to the Olympics and he was also a great skater himself, so idk why he wouldn’t be a help 😐

[@olivialau88]

@@user-ij5op1rg6c Regardless of what happened between Brian and Yuna, I don't think that we can just say that Brian was useless the entire time Yuna trained under him. He led her to Olympic Gold. Brian helped Javier Fernandez get Olympic Bronze at the 2018 games. Yuzuru needed Brian to ensure that he would not overexert himself while training, and Brian plus Ghislain and the rest of the TCC club helped give him the best training environment. The fact that he won two Olympic Gold medals with Brian Orser and still continues to have him as one of his coaches speaks to how important Brian is to him. And to be honest, sometimes I wonder if Yuna had stayed with Brian, maybe he would've warned her about the younger Russian girls coming out in Sochi. I think he would've told her to increase the technicality of her program so that the Russians wouldn't be able to say she lost because Adelina was more "technical." Brian has political backing too, as he is a powerful coach. It definitely helps to have him as your coach.

The Cutest!

[@Hinguripongpong5813]

[@brightlight778]

[@vanlalhriatpuiichhangte4902]

He has really beautiful eyes, so cute💓💓💓

[@intanseirramasaad5273]

My goodness. He was just 17 at this time? He's now 19 but already make a great achievement in olympics. I might be someone/his fan/supporter from another country but I cant help but feel proud like his own family 😂 the future is so bright for him! For those who didnt know, he started his career as a figure skater merely because he's preparing to carry diverse role as an actor! So talented, passionate and cute young man! 😄

[@miaow0706]

I love how they asked about the comparison between Yuzuru Hanya and him because they are both so talented and hard working. Making this potato feel even worse. Its honestly so amazing, how much they have to work for something that you would assume would be easy because it looks like dancing, just on ice. But if you've ever danced or tried figure skating, you know how hard it is. They both put so much work in and the product is amazing. I honestly love them both

[@intanseirramasaad5273]

I still cant believe that he ended up as a professional olympic figure skater just because he lightly trained for it to prepare to be an actor!

[@mprimn2894]

I've started following him since his last year of Junior Grand Prix because I think he seemed interesting and now I'm here feeling like a proud mom even if he's a few months older than me 😂

[@jennyleung92]

Omg, he is so CUTE, such a great personality, I feel like his face depicts his emotions a lot, I would LOVE to watch him at the next Olympics, wherever and whenever that may be

[@MrZurich8005]

In my humble opinion, this is the next Brian Orson's champion in some years ahead...when Yuzu doesn't compete anymore...

[@feather-san4224]

I'm also rooting for him. He will surely shine when Yuzu retires. Among the new gen skaters, I like Jun, Boyang & Shoma the most.
