When a movie depicting a Korean short track skater as a foul king was released in China, Professor Seo Kyung-duk of Sungshin Women's University raised the issue to the international community.



Professor Seo Kyung-duk said on his SNS on the morning of the 18th, "On the 12th, on the Chinese video site iQiyi, the short track movie 'Fly, Light on the Ice' was exclusively released. There are scenes where people frequently commit fouls, such as hanging their feet,” he pointed out.



He continued, "It is a great shock to find out that the Beijing city authorities intervened in the script writing and oversaw the production and distribution of this film," he said. He informed me in detail of the atrocities of the city of Beijing."



Professor Seo Kyung-duk said, "How can a city hosting the Olympics try to inspire patriotism in its own people by promoting hatred of a country (Korea), which is against the spirit of the Olympics," she said. published the contents of the e-mail.



In particular, she said, she stressed that "it was a serious defamation of the Korean short track athletes that such an act took place during the Olympic Games," she said.



Professor Seo Kyung-duk added, "She asked the city of Beijing and the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee to give strong warnings to the city of Beijing and to ensure that such unscrupulous behavior does not happen again in the host city," she added.




'Fly, Light on the Ice' is a film about a country boy who worked as a delivery driver, Cheong-hwan, who grew up as a national team member after coming into contact with short track track under the influence of his mother, who was a former national team member.



The problem was the game scenes in the movie.

The protagonist will face off against Korean players in a world championship.

Korean players have been described as 'foul kings', deliberately tripping over the protagonist's feet and injuring his face with a skating blade.

The main character, who was injured and even bled, runs the track and wins the race without giving up.



This is close to the exact opposite of reality.

In the short track race at the Winter Olympics held in Beijing, Korean athletes suffered difficulties, such as being frustrated by China's biased decision to advance to the final.

As a result, the antipathy of the Korean people toward China is high.
