Unsportsmanlike Behavior by North Korea’s National Team Players at the 19th Asian Games

The 19th Asian Games (Asian Games), which is being held in Hangzhou, China, is drawing to a close towards its conclusion on October 8th. The finals of popular sports such as soccer, baseball, and basketball are about to take place, but what was brought to light during this tournament was “unsportsmanlike behavior” by North Korea’s national team players.

On October 5th broadcast of “Hiruobi!” (TBS), he looked back at the men’s soccer quarterfinals match between Japan and North Korea held on October 1st, and explained that there was a series of dangerous sliding moves from the beginning. . However, North Korea’s “abuse” does not end there. At the awards ceremony for the men’s clay and running target shooting group, some players were seen refusing to take pictures with the Korean team.

In response, program MC Toshiaki Kei touched on the podium issue and said, “It feels like the athletes are refusing to stand.The North Korean athletes…’Oh, I’m sorry, I can’t go up there.”I can’t go up there. I don’t know if it’s because they don’t want to move up or not,” and then the education advisor, Akihiro Shimizu, prefaced the conversation by saying, “It’s been taught to me since I was a child.”

“Even in the 48-kilogram class of judo, there was a woman who put her hand on her face three times and was eliminated, and even when the referee asked her to leave, she stayed for almost a minute and continued to protest. There are also stories that this kind of sports spirit, or rather, fighting spirit, is something that has become commonplace in North Korea.”

Then the program went into commercials, and people posted messages on social media saying things like, “North Korea didn’t slap you, right?” and “Isn’t it South Korea that did the judo hiccup? 》《If it is not corrected quickly, it will become an international problem…》

“The “harite incident” broke out in the women’s judo match on September 24th in the semifinals of the women’s 48 kg class. The player who lost one match was Lee Hye-kyung from South Korea.It was not a North Korean player.It is true that at this tournament, there were many cases of South Korean players’ behavior, such as provocative acts in Taekwondo and smashing rackets in tennis. The badness was also noticeable. It may be no wonder that North Korea and South Korea were confused.” (Sportswriter)

I hope that the players from North and South Korea will play safely and fairly.
