Why do South Koreans dislike China so much?
I was randomly browsing the sports section of Naver for non-football/baseball related stuff and here was the headlines.
Note that they had to put this story twice. Apparently An Se-young losing to Chen Yufei (who's an Olympic gold medalist btw) is just so shocking I tell you. Prior to this they were mocking Chen Yufei for "barely" beating India's PV Sindhu (who is a double Olympic medalist btw). Guess they don't understand that facing and overcoming adversity in a difficult manner builds strength and form.
Also in the other story on the Korean men 4x100 relay team, they just had to take a swipe at China too saying they had a better time than them in the heats (which means crap since you want to conserve your energy for the big stuff on the finals)
Right now is the 2025 Asian Athletics championship held in Korea. And from
, you can see China is kicking ass.
Imagine growing up as a Korean, outside football and baseball, great Corea seems to be lacking in many sporting areas. Why? Because of evil Chyna and their great wall constantly blocking us! If they didn't exist we would be the ones on top!
Chinese netizens often put South Korea and India together. If you look at this case, you kinda get why. Both have this butthurt energy saying if Chyna wasn't there then they would be the big boss getting all the respect!
Japan also demonstrates jealously. But not to the same degree. Why? Coz they were on top at one point in Asia. Thats just a hard fact. So they have the confidence and experience of one.
