Many of the skaters who tried on the new uniform praised its lightness and its tight fit.
“I normally prefer tight-fitting uniforms that hug my body, and it’s one of those,” Seo I-ra said.
Fellow skater Lim Hyo-jun, also praised the new uniform over its tight fit.
“At first, I thought it was too tight that it numbed my movement, but training in the uniform longer made me change my mind and it perfectly hugs my body.”
