General Interest

GOLDEN TRUCK
Dedicated her relay gold medal from the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games to her parents and swore to update her father's truck. "It is all thanks to my parents that I have been compensated for this difficult time. I plan to change my father's truck with my gold medal prize money." (mk.co.kr, 14 May 2018)

YELLOW RIBBON
Wore a yellow ribbon on her helmet during the 1500m race at the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games to commemorate the 304 people who died when the Sewol Ferry sank in 2014. However, after it was suggested it could be interpreted as a political statement, she put black tape over it for her other races. "I'm worried that too much interest in this will be detrimental to the other athletes. I have spoken to the bereaved families of the Sewol Ferry and will play my sport with a grateful heart." (hani.co.kr, 21 Feb 2018, 23 Feb 2018)

CHARITY WORK
Supports Snail of Love, a Korean charity helping children with hearing impairments. She has lent her voice to audiobooks in aid of cochlear implant surgery for children with hearing loss and has donated a proportion of her winnings to support the charity.
