Broadcaster Yoo Jae-suk talked about how he felt angry when he saw the Korean national team Hwang Dae-heon who was disqualified for an ambiguous decision during the short track race at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
Then, criticism arose among Chinese netizens, and in the end, Yoo Jae-suk's fan club in China abruptly announced the suspension of operation.
Yoo Jae-suk was talking with other cast members about the Olympics on MBC's 'What Do You Do When You Play?' aired on the 19th, and when Shin Bong-sun said, "I was angry at first," he bit his molars tightly and said, "That day was really... I'd do it," he said, expressing the anger he felt at the time.
He continued, "I was very angry, but then Hwang Dae-heon won the gold medal, so I was very appalled."
Chinese netizens criticized Yoo Jae-suk's remarks, saying, "Stop blaming China."
Even Yoo Jae-suk's Chinese fan club, 'Yoo Jae-seok Universe', announced a declaration of suspension of operation on the 20th.
'Yoo Jae-seok Universe' said through Weibo account, "As a result of discussion with the management team, we will stop operating this space, which we have been with for a long time, and leave a final greeting to our fans." "The most difficult people at this moment will be our fans. We can't do it, but let's not blame ourselves for loving and having fun with him in the past."
Although Yoo Jae-suk's Chinese fan club did not directly explain the reason for the suspension, it is believed that it has nothing to do with the local atmosphere criticizing Yoo Jae-suk.
