Youth Grand Prix 2024 Korea Semi-Final 3rd Place Winner - Jeeho Lee - La Esmeralda 

She has that stage presence that's captivating, playful, sassy and poweful. One of my favorite routines!

This is my absolute favorite. I do not understand nor see what judges see because I do not know ballet in such detail. But this is first in my eyes.

Her artistry is incredible. I could watch her as Esmeralda all day. She’s fantastic at captivating the audience and bringing them into the performance. Technically gorgeous but her artistry, her character work, her presence is what sets her apart

You’re telling me this master, gorgeous, intelligent, talented, heaven sent, most likely a goddess is FIFTEEN

Wow ! **Jeeho Lee** as La Esmeralda ! This third place is well deserved. I adore her choreography, performance on Esmerelda, full of charm, elegance, liveliness, very clean, neat, precise, alluring, charming. Immense technical talent, great confidence and a lovely smile. Jeeho Lee is/as Esmerelda, a cheerful, radiant, brilliant gypsy. I completely crack under her charm, her finesse and delicacy with her tambourine, her lightness, so airy, she seems to be having fun, everything is only facilitated by her immense talent. Mischievous, playful, facetious, a ballerina absolutely in her role that she lives. She makes me vibrate, incredible thrills and chills. Resplendent, enthusiastic, lively and playful in her game of nuances, reliefs, light. An Esmeralda who becomes a star, a lumen, she certainly has the gift. I love her ! With admiration : )) Kudos from Lausanne, Switzerland // She is "my" favorite 👏💐🌹

She only won third place!? Wow. Ballet is tougher than I originally thought cause that was absolutely stunning.

she deserved the grand prize, not third...

This was GORGEOUS. She nailed this performance. Everything from her expression to how fluid all the motions felt to how she perfectly kept in sync with the music changing. I’ve watched the finale alone like, 20 times already.

Бесподобная Эсмеральда!❤

Какая невероятная красавица!!! Грациозная, кокетливая - просто супер!

Her charisma leaps off the screen and you cannot help but be drawn into her performance. She doesn’t just dance, her whole body lives out the music and her face is expressive and captivating. She’s really amazing!!

Потрясающе!!! Смотрю и пересматриваю. Восторг!!! Все восторг!!! Костюм, образ, артистичность. Кто эта прекрасная исполнительница?❤

У меня мурашки по коже...это просто ИДЕАЛЬНОЕ ВЫСТУПЛЕНИЕ!!! Наконец-то все движения в такт музыке !!!

Ну прямь красавица. Шикарно исполнила. Молодчина

Восхитительно, превосходно! Смотреть можно бесконечно!!!

I have never liked the stop-and-show character of this variation. But she made it a lot more palatable and in my book that is an accomplishment. I also love how she does not bother to show off her extensions and keeps her leg lower and is not too eager to be just another crowd-pleaser, or at least that is how this performance translates to me.

I saw the shorts of her dancing and had to check out the video! Shes amazing!!!

The way she dances is so clean, neat and gracious! Beautiful

Это лучшая Эсмеральда из увиденных мною! Браво!!! 👏👏👏

This is my favourite. She performs with so much character.

This is 3rd?!😢 This is the best I've seen! Captivating and technically skilled. So on pointe 😉

The timing is impeccable!!

Очень интересно поставлен танец, похоже специально для этой танцовщицы. Она просто бесподобна. Смотрю уже несколько раз подряд.

Лучшая Эсмеральда. Уверенная в себе, прекрасная и обаятельная. Улыбка, полная осознания своей красоты и силы великолепна

После нее пересмотрела очень многих, даже заслуженных. И все-таки она мне понравилась больше всех почему то.

Аж мурашки по телу..)) какая красота! Какая девушка! Костюм и танец. Это -что то!!!))

She is fabulous! She’s definitely deserved third place 💖

Она кокетлива, очаровательна и пленительна! Браво!!!

She’s my favourite. What an arresting and captivating presence and performance, she isn’t dancing the character she embodies her, she hasn’t become her; she IS her. BRAVO!!! 💕💕

Це сама найкраща Есмеральда з бачених мною! 😊

La Esmeralda must be my favorite ballet choreography. Jeeho Lee performances was totally gorgeous. ✨

Специально пересмотрел многих, на сегодня красавиц... Не совсем соглашусь- и, по замыслу и, по технике..., но она лучшая, на сегодня, в своей возрастной группе. Умница, красавица. Успехов.

Мой любимый фрагмент! И как чётко танцует балерина! А какая музыка божественная! ❤

Absolute favourite. She’s not just dancing but expressing through her face. The colour scheme, the music, her forms and facial expression are just perfect. She owns the music, the dress, the tambourine, the stage😍

Какая великолепная подача, мимика лица и тела на высоте

Четкие точки в каждом движении, восхитительный баланс, абсолютно оправданный бубен (не как у иных балерин, которым он часто просто мешает), огненный характер! Браво!

when she looked at the camera at the end I melted she is perfection

Одно из лучших исполнений этой партии. Она всхитетельна. Браво!

She totally deserved first! She's the best of all ❤❤❤

For sure the best of the esmeralda I’ve ever seen

Чудесная Эсмеральда! Восхитительная! Грациозная, лёгкая, кокетливая, манящая!❤ Отдельно слова восхищения костюму!

Сколько пересмотрела Эсмеральд,всё равно возвращаюсь к ней. Лучшая!

모든 면에서 압도적으로 아름답고 매력 적이다😊 특히 손동작 살짝 멈짓 하는 눈빛 표현 넘 사랑스럽고 아름답다~^^ 최고다😊

I like her 😂 When I saw that she was third place and there were a lot of viewers thinking that she should be placed higher, I tried to watch the video looking for mistakes, but I ended up enjoying her performance! 💖💖 She follows the music so well, and she is so expressive! Her expressions doesn't even feel forced, it feels so natural! You can tell that she's having fun too. Hmm probably between 0:27 to 0:29 was a tiny bit shaky? Tho I know nothing about ballet and just love watching ballet online so I could be wrong 🤷‍♀️ Nevertheless she's an amazing ballerina and congrats Ms. Jeeho Lee! Can't wait for you to amaze us with wonderful performances in the future!

Браво!!! Завораживающее зрелище!!! Настоящая Эсмеральда. Невозможно передать восхищение данной интерпретацией и исполнением.❤🎉

Какая амплитуда! Какие паузы! Все подтянуто и натянуто! И улыбка! Как хороша)

Elle a des pointes et un aplomb incroyables! Quelle technique ! Elle est époustouflante !🤩

Can’t judge the fine details of technique as I’m not familiar with ballet, but in terms of air and character, this is the best performance of this dance I have seen. Bravo!

One of my favorites! Hers and Melanie’s are absolutely perfect

Her form, the precision, it's absolutely incredible.... I demand a recount!

Absolutely STUNNING ❤

The best esmeralda i've ever seen. see captures the personality and what esemeralda is supposed to be

Пересмотрел многих, но она лучшая!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

My favourite variation 😊

She is like literally the best in my opinion

I absolutely love her! She is true grace herself. ❤

Beautiful and a great talent, very brave 🌹👏

In my opinion, Artistic Expression wins out over Technical Ability every day of the week........This lovely young dancer has them both in spades, with the promise of a magnificent career ahead of her.

Прелесть , чудо ❤ просмотрела три раза, харизма, темперамент бьет ключем ❤❤❤❤

La mejor versión. La gracia con la que baila. ¡Fuego!

Божественно!!! Bravo!!!

Лучшая Эсмиральда!!!❤❤❤

That was a joy to watch.

Wonderful technique!! I love how precisely she put her feet on retire and her tight 5th and 4thposition after pirouettes.

What a miracle❤ So much grace, rythm and perfet beauty

Brilliant. 👏

She is amazing, good timing and very sharp.

Боже, это гениально. Она лучшая. Какая чёткость, какой идеальный баланс. Не знаю, кто это, похожа на японку или китаянку. Шикарно. И очень задорно.

This is incredible!! Her arch is amazing and the dance is so hard to do!😮

Quelle grâce, une étoile est née dans ce monde obscur 😊

Абсолютно прекрасна

This was 3rd place???? Well.. absolute first in my heart 😢❤

バレエはわかりませんが、この画像をみて、感動しました。 毎日みています。 いつか舞台でこの曲を踊っているフルバージョンをみたいです！ 素晴らしい

I hope she performs as Odile one day. She suits her so much.

I've never been so seduced in my life. In the most innocent, artistic kind of way.
