0.01 seconds of through.

It was very sad to see Lee “Bae Cabbage Boy” Lee Sang-ho, who bowed his head.

Even more so because he finished first overall in the qualifiers.

Lee Sang-ho lost to Victor Wild of Russia in 0.01 seconds in the quarterfinals of the men's alpine snowboarding alpine parallel competition at the Beijing Winter Olympics held yesterday (8th).

Lee Sang-ho said, "I was cheering for medals in the ice skating event, but yesterday's unsatisfactory decision gave me a very disappointing result. "He said.



Chinese netizens "It's not an unexpected result, it's a retribution"


But yesterday evening, the hashtag 'Lee Sang-ho Lee (#李相昊出局#)' appeared in the top 10 search rankings of 'Weibo', the Chinese version of Twitter.

As of this morning, it has had over 130 million total views.

The description of the hashtag was 'Lee Sang-ho failed to advance to the quarterfinals after 0.01 seconds behind at the last moment', but the posts and comments were ridiculed.

Chinese netizens posted derogatory photos of Korea along with the words "Congratulations", "This is not an unexpected result, it's a retribution", and "What excuse will you give this time?"

Most of the content mocked Korea rather than Lee Sang-ho personally.

The day (7th), the Chinese media and netizens criticized Korea for strongly opposing the serious bias judgment in the men's 1000m short track speed track, arguing that "it was a fair judgement result" and "It was Korea that committed the foul." It is an extension of what has been criticized.

After the short track race, hashtags such as 'Daeheon Hwang's foul', 'refusal to interview Korean players', and 'Korea national team press conference' ranked in the top 10 searches on Weibo, and related articles also climbed to the top of the hits on news search sites.

Chinese netizens who express blind patriotism, so-called 'Xiaofenhong', are instigating anti-Korean sentiment, arguing that "a small country has stolen China's culture and history" and "We must maintain the Korean-Korean rule that limits the Korean Wave." .

Where is the ‘place of festivals and harmony’?


Anti-Chinese sentiment is exploding in Korea.

A woman wearing a hanbok appeared at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics and the controversy over 'cultural fairness' has spread, and the judgment of bias in the short track race has been set on fire.

Politicians have also contributed to the spread of anti-Chinese sentiment in the wake of the election, especially the 2030 generation, who value 'fairness', reacted more sensitively.

On the Internet, phrases such as "open your eyes and nose Beijing" and "Japan is the enemy of a hundred years, China is the enemy of a thousand years" are appearing on the Internet.

Extreme 'hate' expressions such as 'good Chinese are dead Chinese' are spreading again.

Anti-Chinese and anti-Chinese public opinion in Korea is again spread by Chinese netizens, and the Korean-Chinese sentiment is deepening.

The saying that 'Olympic Games is a festival of people around the world, a place of harmony' has become irrelevant.

The Chinese embassy in South Korea issued an unusual statement regarding the 'Hanbok controversy' at the opening ceremony.

A spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in Korea said, "Chinese Korean-Chinese and North and South Koreans have the same origin and share traditional culture, including costumes. These traditional cultures belong to the Korean Peninsula and belong to the Korean-Chinese, so-called 'cultural fairness' and 'culture plunder'. "China respects Korea's historical and cultural traditions, and I hope that Korea will respect the feelings of the Chinese people, including the Korean-Chinese."

However, China's state-run Global Times reported this news and reported that 'Korean presidential candidates are showing a hard line to criticize China because of the election, which is a threat to Korean companies' .

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between Korea and China.

Since the establishment of diplomatic ties in 1992, bilateral trade between the two countries has increased nearly 40 times, and China has become Korea's largest trading partner.

However, the sentiments of the people of both countries worsened as they suffered historical distortions such as the Northeast Project, the THAAD incident, and controversy over cultural looting such as kimchi and hanbok.

Former Chinese Ambassador to Korea Chu Guohong pointed out at a recent forum that the two major challenges in Korea-China relations are the lack of strategic mutual trust and the deterioration of public opinion in the other country.

At the same time, he said that it is necessary to look at each other more objectively and expand cultural exchanges through free human movement, as the saying goes, 'everyone can see nothing.'

However, with this Olympics as an opportunity, antipathy towards each other is now rising to a dangerous level.

A very difficult road is expected before mutual distrust turns into mutual respect.
