Nari Unari, wife of Victor Ahn (Korean name: Hyunsoo Ahn), who is a technical coach for the Chinese short track team, has corrected incorrect information regarding nationality.
On the 13th, Na-ri Woo posted her story on her SNS, saying, "I was naturalized and then returned to Korean nationality?
The post she posted along with her article was a captured article about herself, and it was written, "After naturalization to Russia with Ahn Hyeon-soo, but after recovering Korean nationality".
She continued, "I see articles like that, so every time I saw something like that, there was a question about my nationality without exception. It's Dae. Han. Min. Guk." re-confirmed
It seems that the misunderstanding about Unari's nationality was caused by her husband.
Victor Ahn gave up his Korean citizenship in 2011 and became a naturalized Russian citizen.
After retiring from his athletic career in 2020, he joined China's short track national team as technical coach last year.
China has been embroiled in controversy since the 5th, when the short track races of the 2022 Winter Olympics were held in Beijing.
In particular, on the 7th, when the Korean national team, Hwang Dae-heon and Lee Jun-seo, were eliminated by an ambiguous decision in the 1000m race in which they competed with Chinese athletes, the public's antipathy towards China grew.
As a result, public opinion about Victor Ahn, who is playing an active part in the Chinese national team, is also not good.
Viktor Ahn also appealed to his SNS on the 8th, "Please refrain from indiscriminate swear words or malicious comments directed at his family," as the criticism poured out on himself and his family.
