The Korean delegation will launch a press conference to express its official views on the penalty for short track speed skating

After 2 days of short track speed skating without winning any medals, the South Korean side showed anger.

Because of the age of the men's team's main player Hwang Dae-hyun, coupled with the contradiction between the women's team's no. 1 player Shen Xixi and the no. 2 player Choi Minzhen, South Korea's short-track speed skating ability has declined sharply before the Beijing Winter Olympics. Therefore, the Korean Sports Association has set its own gold medal goal at the Beijing Winter Olympics as 1-2 gold medals. The short track speed skating event is the key to their achievement of this predetermined goal.

After Hwang Dae-hyun and Lee Joon-sui were both sent off for fouls in the men's 1,000m race on February 7, the South Korean media showed further dissatisfaction and anger at the referee.

In fact, as early as the end of the 2000-meter mixed relay, the South Korean media speculated that the Chinese team was taken care of, and believed that the referee's penalty was biased towards the host. In THE TV broadcasts such as CBS and SBS, commentators and guests also incitely expressed doubts. After being punished on the evening of February 7, Li Junrui hurried through the mixed interview area and was unwilling to accept an interview. Huang Daxian only said one sentence, "I will talk about it later", and disappeared into people's sight.

At the time of the award, a person who looked like an official of the South Korean delegation walked through the media rest area and announced that there was a press conference, and it seemed that the South Korean coach would take a position on the punishment of Hwang Dae-hyun and Lee Jun-sui. After the inquiry, it was learned that the South Korean media was notified to hold a press conference at the MPC main conference center on the morning of February 8. The official present was Yoon Hong-geun, president of the Korea Sports Association. He will give his official opinion on the penalty in the short track speed skating competition.
