On the latest episode of 'Kim Yuna's Kiss & Cry', comedian Kim Byung Man triumphed over his injured ankle and impressed everyone on set with his fighting spirit.
Kim Byung Man and his partner, Lee Soo Kyung, took on Charlie Chaplin as their theme for their paired performance. Kim Byung Man stated that he had the utmost respect for Charlie Chaplin as a comedian, and included Chaplin's trademark gestures and expressions in his performance.
Despite sustaining a torn ligament from his previous solo routine, Kim Byung Man put on a strong performance with his acting. And while he wasn't fully recovered from from his injury, Kim Byung Man remained calm and well-composed throughout the show.
In addition to the performance, the show highlighted the pair's practice sessions. Because the two couldn't find the time in between their busy schedules to meet very often, they lacked a certain aspect of teamwork. Kim Byung Man also became frustrated frequently because of his injury.
Reviewing their routine, judge Kim Yuna said, "I was so captivated by your acting that I almost forgot I was supposed to be judging...Out of all the figure skating acting I've seen, this was the best."
In the end, Kim Byung Man and Lee Soo Kyung received a high total score of 37.1. Feeling incredulous over the score, Kim Byung Man expressed his emotions with a shaky voice and began to tear up. His suffering also drew strong emotions from Kim Yuna, his fellow gagmen colleagues, and the other 'Kiss & Cry' contestants, leading them to cry as well.
When asked why she was crying, Kim Yuna stated, "I wouldn't have known [of his pain] because he acted so perfectly in the performance. It's unfortunate and I feel sorry that he's in pain. I feel sympathetic towards him because I've performed several times with an injury as well."
