The fake news that Lee Kang-in, the protagonist of the ‘Table Tennis Gate’ controversy, was released from his team Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is receiving explosive views.

On the 18th, a video titled ‘Lee Kang-in’s contract will be terminated following 3 days’ on a YouTube channel called ‘PanelTube’ titled ‘”Lee Kang-in’s contract will be terminated following 3 days” PSG owner announces confirmation of forced release of Lee Kang-in, FIFA “Lee Kang-in declares trade ban in all league transfer markets” PSG cataclysm’ It was published.

The video contains the content that PSG owner Al Thani announced the termination of Lee Kang-in’s contract through an emergency press conference on the 17th. In addition, Lee Kang-in claimed that before problems arose with the Korean national team, he had already been causing problems with players within PSG. In addition, FIFA also added the shocking information that Lee Kang-in was officially designated as a player who cannot be traded in the transfer market.

Of course, all the information contained in the video is completely false. Neither PSG nor FIFA have announced Lee Kang-in’s release or transfer ban, and the story that Lee Kang-in has been causing problems within PSG is also information that first appeared in the video.

However, as of the followingnoon of the 19th, the video recorded over 660,000 views, and netizens who were deceived by false information said, “I support the decision of the PSG team owner,” “Wouldn’t something that leaks on the inside leak on the outside?”, “You are paying for what you did.” Comments such as ” rose to the top, receiving hundreds or thousands of ‘likes’.

Fake news containing such provocative content is constantly being produced. Previously, in June of last year, a video containing the fake news that Mbappe had responded praising Lee Kang-in to a Japanese reporter’s question regarding Lee Kang-in became a hot topic with more than 10 million views.

At the time, a video was posted on Lee Cheon-soo’s YouTube channel showing his reaction to being fooled by the false news and praising Mbappe. Lee Cheon-soo, who heard from the PD that the video was fake news, was surprised and expressed his regret, saying, “Videos like this serve as an opportunity to create more rumors regarding whether he will transfer or not. I think it will be much more difficult for the players if they see this.”
