He is a complete skater (who needs work on his jumps for competitions).  Ilia Malilin has nothing on Jun for style -

Well this is interesting!

Who even knew such an operation existed? Why would Jun

leave competitive skating when it's just one more year before the Olympics? I can't imagine him abandoning competition before that.

It doesn't say they expect him to abandon competition.  It seems more like he'll represent them as an athlete

Good.   It's actually surprising, in a good way, that male skaters are getting attention (for their skating).

He's national champion 9 consecutive years -

Well this is interesting! Jun getting involved in the more organizational/political side of the sport:

I hadn't either, but it's for university students and I believe he has graduated.

The olympic channel had promotions for it, so it seems like a big thing.

Good for Jun!

Excellent news!!!!!

Jun, but different😉.

It's a bit sad how the hosts were zero prepared regarding figure skating and calling him "obsessed" with skating instead of a professional athlete.....it leaves a taste, but who knows if the subs are 100% right.

Beside that, Jun was super charming and it's a fun interview (but already older)
