'Time 100' Gala Honors Influencers, Gathers Celebrities
Korean figure skater Kim Yu-Na, a gold medalist at the Vancouver games and one of the Time 100,
was the first guest to walk the carpet.
None of the reporters asked her for comment, but the photographers were happy to take her picture.
While Ms. Yu-Na was posing, a gossip reporter from People magazine asked her handlers if she had
a translator.
She speaks English, they said.
"Does she have a boyfriend?" asked a business reporter from Bloomberg.
The handlers shook their heads.
"Let's bring her over then," he said. "She's smoking hot."
Ms. Yu-Na disappeared into the party when she was finished with the cameras.
