▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: A really nice person You came.

▶ Cha Jun-hwan/figure skater: Hello?

▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: You worked hard.

▶ Junhwan Cha/figure skater: Thank you.

▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: After finishing the Winter Olympics, I have now returned to Korea.

how are you feeling?

▶ Cha Jun-hwan / Figure Skater: First of all, since it's the Olympics that I've been preparing for for another 4 years, I have a feeling of being light-headed.

Also, I want to make up for the shortcomings of the Olympics and show a slightly better side at the World Championships, the remaining games of the season.

▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: We have already seen all the scenes from the Beijing Winter Olympics, but Cha Jun-hwan's attitude and attitude when taking up a challenge.

Isn't there a short program followed by a free exercise?

How was it then?

▶ Cha Jun-hwan / Figure Skater: First of all, since this is the second Olympics in this Olympics, I would like to have a little more leisure and enjoy the Olympics in a little more detail. I think I did

▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: Were you less nervous?

Not more, but less?

▶ Cha Jun-hwan/figure skater: I was very curious too, but I think I had a lot of fun.

▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: When I saw Jun-Hwan Cha’s first jump during the second match, I now talk a lot when we are cheering for us.

I can't see

So I just fell over that player Jun-hwan Cha, and I said I can't watch it and turned off the TV.

▶ Cha Jun-hwan/figure skater: Really?

▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: But after that, he said that he acted very well.

How was it then?

that scene.

▶ Cha Jun-hwan / Figure Skater: First of all, I fell a bit unexpectedly, but actually, there are still a lot of things I prepared.

▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: That’s right.

▶ Cha Jun-hwan / Figure Skater: Also, since the mistakes right now are not so important, I think I was trying to show a more developed image by paying more attention to other factors.

▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: At that time, the total acting time was about 7 minutes?

How many minutes is it, in the case of free skating?

▶ Junhwan Cha/figure skater: 4 minutes and 10 seconds in the case of free skating.

▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: 4 minutes and 10 seconds.

That was probably the very beginning, so there was a lot of smoke left.

Then you wouldn't have just thought about it in that brief moment after you fell.

Even world-class players said, 'Hey, I've been like this since the beginning, so this match is wrong'.

But I don't think Cha Jun-hwan is like that.

▶ Cha Jun-hwan/figure skater: Actually, I think I didn't think much about it when I just fell.

Just yes, the biggest thought was that we should prepare better for the following elements and perform better.

Also, I was a little surprised because there was something I had always practiced, but I think I was a little more calm.

▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: The player who won the gold medal this time.

▶ Junhwan Cha/figure skater: Nathan Chen.

▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: Nathan Chen.

I did interviews with Asian media and Asian media outlets, and they praised Cha Jun-hwan.

▶ Cha Jun-hwan/figure skater: Really?

▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: Did you not see that article?

▶ Junhwan Cha/figure skater: Yes, not yet.

▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: I saw it.

▶ Cha Jun-hwan/figure skater: Oh, really?

▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: Jun-Hwan Cha is the first player to come out now.

There was a mistake in the first technique.

But as a player, what surprised me was that after making a mistake, I focused on the game again and came back.

He was deeply impressed.

It was not easy for him to do that himself.

He praised it like this.

Nathan Chen praised him like this. What would you say?

▶ Cha Jun-hwan / Figure Skater: First of all, it was so good to be able to practice and compete with Nathan Chen at the Olympics.

Also, I think I learned many things through this Olympics, so it was a fun time for me to develop a little more in the future.

▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: Jun-Hwan Cha is ranked 5th in the world at the Winter Olympics.

We are often in the top 5.

how is it?

Compared to the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, obviously Cha Jun-hwan has made a huge leap forward, right?

▶ Cha Jun-hwan/figure skater: Actually, while I was competing for this Olympics, rather than a ranking goal, I came up thinking that I wanted to finish the race a little more happily, remembering each one in detail, as it was the Olympics, what kind of result or what kind of process it was. I feel good because I have led well and the results have come out well.

▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: Nathan Chen said something like that.

Cha Jun-hwan should pay attention in the future.

Compared to the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, the people and the scoring standards for figure skating have obviously changed a lot during the Beijing Winter Olympics.

Will it be held in Italy in the next 4 years?

▶ Cha Jun-hwan/figure skater: Yes.

▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: Even then, it will probably change again.

In particular, athletes are increasingly concentrating on high-level jumps and giving them a lot of points, but does Cha Jun-hwan feel the same way?

Do you think that I should gradually change my jump to a more difficult level?

▶ Junhwan Cha/Figure Skater: Of course, because I am also a player, I always want to practice, try and challenge the higher and more difficult skills the most.

However, as it is also a sport called figure skating, and because it is a sport that emphasizes harmony in such compositional elements, I always want to take those parts with me without missing out.

▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: Although such a difficult jump is important, the overall artistic aspect, this cannot be given up.

It seems that Nathan Chen gave that part a very high evaluation.

Nathan Chen is Hanyu, a Japanese Hanyu player?

▶ Junhwan Cha/figure skater: Yes, Yuzuru Hanyu.

▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: How does Cha Junhwan look?

▶ Cha Jun-hwan/figure skater: First of all, because they are the world's top athletes and they are really excellent athletes, I am also very honored to be able to practice with such athletes while experiencing this Olympics again, and for me, I will develop a lot more in the future. It seems to be a time of opportunity.

▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: We announced through YouTube in advance that Junhwan Cha will appear today (the 18th).

So, viewers asked questions while watching Joo Young-jin's news briefing at this time as well, so let's see what kind of questions came through Joo Young-jin's communication and address bar once with Cha Jun-hwan.

I looked at the screen to see what kind of questions were asked, and I was like, 'How did you feel when you played a song that Jun-hwan Cha's fans chose?'

Can I give you a short answer?

▶ Cha Jun-hwan/figure skater: First of all, this season's short program song is a song recommended by fans.

▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: What kind of song was it?

▶ Cha Jun-hwan/figure skater: It was a song called 'Fate of the clockmaker'.

I chose that song and did it.

I also feel very grateful because it seems that I was able to play a good game again with a song that the fans picked and recommended.

▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: Is this music being released right now?

▶ Cha Jun-hwan/figure skater: That's right.

▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: Did the fans choose it?

All right.

Let's look at the second question.

'I'm curious about what you love the most other than figure skating.'

▶ Cha Jun-hwan/figure skater: It's difficult.

▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: There are a lot of questions fans have about Cha Junhwan.

▶ Cha Jun-hwan/figure skater: The thing I love, actually, skating shoes are my number one priority.

I think it could be called rank 0.

▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: Not figure skating.

▶ Cha Jun-hwan/figure skater: Not figure skating.

i have a cell phone?

▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: Cell phone?

▶ Cha Jun-hwan/Figure Skater: Because I also like to listen to music very much, and I also like to take some pictures and keep records, so I will use my cell phone.

▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: 'I can't live without a cell phone', I understand.

Jun-hwan Cha participates in international competitions, and every time he does, he leaves a record.

▶ Cha Jun-hwan/figure skater: Yes.

I want to take a picture and leave a record, and I want to leave more.

▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: Do you record everything on social media?

▶ Junhwan Cha/figure skater: No, only I have it.

▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: Is it?

Not sharing?

▶ Cha Jun-hwan/figure skater: I sometimes share, but I still want to focus a little more during the season.

▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: I see.

During the season, in order to focus more, you are refraining from social media activities.

Let's look at the last question.

'Even if it's not related to figure skating, what dream do you want to achieve in the future?' This is probably the question you get asked a lot.

▶ Junhwan Cha/figure skater: First of all, I want to continue training while enjoying this figure skater as much as I love it, as much as I like it.

Actually, I haven't thought about my dream after figure skating yet, so I want to focus more on my sport, which I love now.

▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: What Junhwan Cha loves the most right now is figure skating.

Remember 4 years ago?

This interview with me is already the third time, but by the way.

▶ Cha Jun-hwan/figure skater: That's right.

▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: I have a question I asked Junhwan Cha after the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics 4 years ago.

Do you remember what I answered four years ago?

Shall we take a look?

▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: Even at a young age back then, I can really feel the affection and love for figure skating by Junhwan Cha.

I hope to progress step by step.

I think I've improved somewhat compared to 4 years ago.

This time, before the Winter Olympics, they even won the international competition.

You are also aiming for the Italian Winter Olympics in the next four years, but to what extent do you think you will be there in four years?

▶ Cha Jun-hwan/figure skater: Actually, I think the mindset is similar.

However, if I look back 4 years later, at my own pace, in a way, through the Beijing Winter Olympics, I came to love figure skating a little more, and as a figure skater, I learned more about which direction I should take and where I should develop. I want to enjoy a better image and a better process that I want if I go to the next Olympics by supplementing those parts a little more.

▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: We made a separate video of Junhwan Cha's game, but let's watch the video for a moment and talk about which part we are best at.

We named it 'Junhwan Cha's Special Move', shall we take a look?

▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: That last scene, I turned it off for a while and then watched it again, so I was curious.

But it was so beautiful.

In a way, she is more flexible and more elegant than the female players.

▶ Cha Jun-hwan/figure skater: Yes.

It's called Inabauer.

▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: Inabauer.

▶ Cha Jun-hwan/figure skater: Actually, I developed that movement for a long time, but especially in the case of this season's program, I thought about how to match it with music more and create such good energy and synergy. seems to have done

▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: It's really beautiful.

Even after 4 years, can we see that image, a more developed image?

▶ Junhwan Cha/figure skater: I will do my best.

▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: Is that right?

All right.

Among the things you mentioned earlier, I am really looking forward to seeing what I can do in the future rather than my grades.

▶ Junhwan Cha/figure skater: Thank you.

▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: Jun-Hwan Cha, please sit down a little longer.

It's a pity that Joo Young-jin's news briefing is so short.

We'll get back to you in a little while.

▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: Is it true that Blackpink member Rosé sang 'On the Ground'?

▶ Junhwan Cha/figure skater: Yes, that's right.

▷ Joo Young-jin/Anchor: Cha Jun-hwan's favorite song.

▶ Junhwan Cha/figure skater: Yes, this is my favorite song right now.

▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: Do you like songs or singers the most?

▶ Cha Jun-hwan/figure skater: Yes.

▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: I will try to understand that you like singers too.

What do you particularly like about this song's lyrics?

It's an English song.

▶ Cha Jun-hwan/figure skater: First of all, I think the lyrics are very good.

Also, I like to listen to music with moderate tension when I am just warming up, but I think the tension is especially good when I am warming up.

▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: The lyrics are good from the very beginning.

The lyrics 'My life is like magic and it's so fantastic' resonates with me quite a bit. Junhwan Cha Is soul food chicken?

▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: I like chicken. So, did you eat it in Beijing?

▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: As soon as you return home.

▶ Cha Jun-hwan/Figure Skater: As soon as I returned home, I actually wanted to eat, but I want to prepare because I have another world championship.

▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: If you keep doing that, you will have to manage the food as well.

▶ Cha Jun-hwan / Figure skater: To some extent, we are managing it little by little.

▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: Then you can't eat chicken until the World Championships?

▶ Cha Jun-hwan / Figure skater: If there is an opportunity, I will eat it.
