Again I am not blaming ALL South Korean fans. I am blaming the people I observed specifically. The problem is they did not want to be enlightened. They want to hunt down everyone on social media and fight with them. I stopped engaging them because they wanted to argue with me and saying that I wasn't doing enough to reverse the decision.
Don't take my comments as a generalization, I am speaking to an experience and a specific set of fans. I think you are misreading my meaning here. I think I am finished discussing this issue with you because you clearly feel attacked by a misinterpretation.
Let me phrase it this way:
There are so many ways to appreciate Kim Yuna. The way in which I have observed a specific group of people was not a good way of appreciating her. Kim Yuna did not just skate for herself and her country, but she skated for the love of sport and what a shame that some could not appreciate the sport side.
I don’t know who’s your favorite skater but Yuna is not just a skater. She is an ICON in Korea. She is a public figure. Yuna has many different kinds of fans. Even though some of her fans do not know figure skating, that should not be the reason to be blamed. Maybe you have no Yuna Kim in your country, so you have no idea what is like. If you’re a Yuna fan, you have to deal with it.
