What is the finisher of Michin?
Michin uses Seoul Food and Protect Ya Neck as her finishing moves. Her current signature is the Seoul Food, a brutal maneuver where she leaps into the air and delivers a vicious inverted stomp to her opponent's face. This impactful kick has been known to knock the wind out of her rivals and secure pinfall victories. For a more grounded approach, Michin utilizes the Protect Ya Neck. This move involves her trapping her opponent's head and driving a knee directly into their neck. This submission maneuver can quickly force a tap-out.
Previously in her career, Michin utilized a set of even more high-risk maneuvers. The Package Piledriver involved lifting her opponent and slamming them face-first onto the mat in a dangerous maneuver. For aerial attacks, she also employed the SkyYim, a moonsault variation followed by a leg drop across the opponent's chest. While these moves displayed her fearlessness, their potentially career-ending nature led Michin to adopt safer yet equally effective finishers.
