According to the South Korean media "Asian Economy" news report, South Korean President Yoon Seok-yue's trip to Europe to participate in the NATO summit was not smooth. The South Korean people attach great importance to this trip, and heard that Yoon Seok-yue was arranged to meet two times on the first day of his arrival in Europe on the 28th, including Stoltenberg, the number one person in NATO; But the follow-up to this matter is that Yin Xiyue's two talks have been cancelled one after another and no one has met successfully, it is said that sweden and Finland have joined NATO, which "takes up too much time"; South Korean media said that Yin Xiyue also waited for 30 minutes at the meeting site before leaving, and apparently no one informed him in advance.
The matter caused a heated discussion in South Korea, with many comments accusing NATO leaders of "extreme disrespect for guests in the East", and only perfunctory statements afterwards that they might change the schedule of talks without any apologies; Some South Korean netizens even demanded that the Foreign Ministry protest the pressure and change diplomatic relations with the Netherlands to force them to learn to look at South Korea in perspective. Of course, this matter is only a very strong civil quarrel, and it seems that it has no impact on Yin Xiyue; Later, at a public dinner hosted by the King of Spain, he could be seen in a group photo with other leaders of other countries, and he looked very happy.
However, on the day of the 29th, another thing exposed by the European media made the South Korean media public opinion boil. On the same day, Spanish state television broadcast the previous day's palace dinner, and one of the scenes was that US President Biden was one of the last leaders to enter, and when there was no change in the faces of other leaders, South Korean President Yoon Seok-yue nodded to Biden with a "smile on his face", and the latter immediately shook hands with him briefly. During the whole handshake, Biden's eyes were always on the Bulgarian president Ruman Radev next to him, and he did not look at Yin Xiyue, who was smiling, and the scene contrast was very awkward.
South Korean media "news 1" bluntly said that this "no look" handshake has become Yin Xiyue's attack handle, because foreign social etiquette knows that looking directly at the other party when shaking hands is a manifestation of respect, so Biden is not friendly to him. South Korean scholar and writer Hwang Ji-yi accused Yoon Seok-yue of "losing face to the country," and his laughter brought shame on the entire country. There are also excited South Koreans who say that Yoon Seok-yue went to Europe to "lick biden's shoes", but the US president does not need such a shoe cleaner, and he is not interesting. In short, more than half of the comments were accusing Yoon of political misconduct, and the rest complained that Biden was "arrogant" and had no gratitude to a country that provided them with a lot of military spending and East Asian bases.
Others expressed lack of feelings because this relationship is the "normal status" of the United States and Japan, and Yoon Seok-yue also set a precedent of "paying tribute to the American flag" during Biden's visit to South Korea, indicating that he is deliberately pursuing such an unequal relationship. In just two days, the talks were first canceled, and then they were scorned by Biden, and the South Korean media reports were obviously already a bit embarrassing. In this regard, some foreign netizens commented that the national sentiment of Yin Xiyue's country is "sensitive and radical", and he should avoid doing everything in public to the leaders of Britain and the United States to prevent provoking the fragile hearts of the people, of course, he can do this at will in private.
