Figure skating wunderkind Kim Yu-na will perform in a charity ice show in Korea.
IB Sports, her agency, said Thursday that the 18-year-old South Korean would skate in the show, titled ``Kim Yu-na's Angels on Ice,'' on Christmas Day at Mokdong Ice Rink.
Kim, who triumphed at this year's two Grand Prix series events ― Skate of American and Cup of China ― plans to skate with 10 South Korean figure skating prospects.
In addition, world bronze medallist Johnny Weir of the United States will pair with Kim.
All profit from admission fees will go to the charity.
``To reward for big support from local fans, I will perform in the charity show,'' Kim said.
Kim has a big reputation for doing good.
Last year, she donated 12 million won for young figure skaters, and contributed 100 million won along with school uniforms worth 200 million won to poor students.
She also presented 100 uniforms to students in Taean, which was hit by oil spill in the west sea last December.
In May, Kim made a 50-million won scholarship for figure skaters again.
Kim, two-time defending Grand Prix Final champion, has already earned a berth to the final contest, scheduled on Dec. 10 to 14 in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province thanks to the two wins.
The top six skaters out of six Grand Prix series will advance to the final.
