Funini Panini

I first put on skis when I was four years old, and honestly, I never wanted to take them off. Flying down a slope feels like freedom—snow rushing past, legs burning, and me trying to go just a little faster than last time. Skiing isn’t just fun for me; it’s my favorite way to challenge myself, to focus, and to feel alive.

Training has taken me to mountains in different countries, and every trip taught me something new. But in France, I had to leave early because warm weather melted the snow too fast, and it really hit me how much climate change is changing my world. Even in the summer I keep training, and it’s paid off: I’m a four-time gold medalist, a youth champion, and ranked number one in Korea. Skiing is my passion, my sport, and my way of showing what happens when you give everything you’ve got.
