Yuna Kim and Dorothy Hamill's Incredible Popularity

The Queen and Dorothy -Endorsement Gold

Yuna Kim's presence in Korea is reminiscent of Dorothy Hamill's popularity in America in the late 1970s. Even 34 years after her Olympic win, Hamill still holds the distinction of being the most sought US figure skater for commercial endorsements. Like Dorothy, Yuna is an agent's dream, receiving and accepting offers to endorse a wide variety of commercial products. The US may never see another skater eclipse Hamill's popularity, nor will South Korea likely ever produce a star of Kim's magnitude.
