"Inexplicable decision" Idol member in South Korea Congratulate Chinese Gold Medalist, "Koreans outburst of anger"

Idol group member in South Korea who congratulated the Chinese gold medalist on his "inexplicable decision" were met with outrage from Korean netizens.

Ningning, a Chinese member of the Korean girl group aespa, has drawn the anger of Korean netizens for sending a congratulatory message to the Chinese short track gold medalist

According to Korean media reports, Ningning posted on "Bubble" in Chinese on the 5th "Wow, I heard that china won their first gold medal tonight...I'm so happy. I'm honored that my homeroom teacher told me that the two Olympic champions were classmates to me. I respect all athletes".

After that this post by Ningning caused anger among korean netizens.

The Chinese medalist that Ningning referred to was a participant in the 2000-meter mixed short track relay at the Beijing Olympics. Although the Chinese short track team won the gold medal ahead of Italy Ningning who congratulated them, received a lot of anger because of the "questionable decision" in the process.

Ningning's post further triggered the anger of Korean netizens as Korean athletes were also involved in the "inexplicable decision" in the men's 1,000m short track semi-final on the 7th

In addition, the Korean Olympic team filed a complaint with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) over the men's 1000m short track semi-final.

[+912, -65]  Not only in this case, but in general, short track is full of inexplicable arbitrary decisions.
Especially in this case, the decision was more in favor of the Chinese.
I felt that this sport is not suitable for the Olympic Games because the judges have too much discretion, but Korea has won medals in the past, so they never mention this point.

[+859, -40] What's wrong with cheering for an athlete from your home country? Personally I think it's okay to cheer for players from other countries. 
I think it's up to the individual to cheer for who they like
It's not right to judge others

[+362, -28] Gosh, The Beijing Olympics is expected to surpass the 2002 Soccer World Cup in historical terms

[+350, -15] When your country's players do well, you usually cheer for them. I don't understand why people criticize the Chinese members because of the that.
This kind of thing happens every now and then, which is why I think it's so annoying and difficult to have a multinational KPOP group with Japanese, Chinese, and Korean members.

[+341, -17] What's wrong with congratulating a player who has done well for her country?
The problem is with the judges who made inexplicable decisions, so why not blame the judges?
I think that's where the anger should be directed.

[+308, -13] This don't matter
It's the country she's born in
Let her be free
She's a human before celebrity

[+150, -8] Remember the 2002 World Cup in Japan and Korea.
It's a boomerang 20 years later
