On March 21, Beijing time, former Chinese short track speed skating coach Ahn Hyun-so has recently encountered a lot of troubles, because his personal brand website and his wife appeared on some inappropriate remarks about China, resulting in Ahn Hyun-so's endorsement in China being suspended from cooperation, termination, and even fermented to Ahn Hyun-soo personally apologized to Chinese fans. Obviously, Ahn Hyun-so made a big mistake and needed to pay for his wife's mistakes and let the popularity he had so hard built up in China disappear.
Ahn Hyun-so signed with the Chinese short track speed skating team in September 2021 and coached until February 2022, during which time Ahn Hyun-so did his best to help China's short track speed skating achieve good results. After the contract expired, Ahn Hyun-soo did not promise to renew the Contract with the Chinese team, chose to return to South Korea first, accompany his family, during the holiday time, Ahn Hyun-so mainly accompanied his wife and daughter, and also took his daughter to learn skating, there is a sense of wanting her daughter to "inherit her father's business".
In addition to the family, recently Ahn Hyun-so has participated in some Korean interview programs, in the program, an Hyun-so, who has not signed a coaching contract at present, was asked whether he would coach the Korean team in the future, Ahn Hyun-so gave a positive answer, bluntly saying that as long as there is an opportunity, he will not refuse to coach the Korean team, emphasizing that the Korean team is the place where he has become famous, and will not forget this team.
At the time, Ahn Hyun-so specifically said: "Korea is the longest and most favorite place in my career. If I have the opportunity to return to Korea, no matter what position I am in, I will do my best to do a good job, not only in Korea, but also to lead the team to international competitions. ”
Obviously, Ahn Hyun-so does not resist coaching the Korean short track speed skating team, and even imagined leading the team to international competitions, such a statement is very clear, as long as the Korean team provides a contract, Ahn Hyun-so will sign.
During his time as an athlete, Ahn Hyun-so won numerous good results for the Korean team, including 3 Olympic gold medals and 1 Olympic bronze medal. But at the same time, the fundamental reason why Ahn Hyun-so gave up his Korean citizenship and joined the Russian team during his time as a player is that Ahn Hyun-soo was ostracized by the South Korean team, resulting in his inability to play in the Vancouver Winter Olympics at his peak. Therefore, Ahn Hyun-so has always had a bad relationship with the South Korean team, before coaching the Chinese team, Ahn Hyun-so even encountered Network violence from South Korean netizens, insulting his wife and family, the incident was very big, and finally An Hyun-so took the initiative to issue a statement to calm the incident.
But now, the idea that Ahn Hyun-so wants to return to the Korean team and return as a coach is surprising. Of course, Ahn Hyun-so has always grown up in South Korea, the family is in South Korea, even if the nationality has become a Russian origin, but South Korea is still Ahn Hyun-so's hometown, in the future, in the international arena, when the Chinese team meets With Ahn Hyun-so again, it is likely to restore the identity of the opponent and compete together!
