(Hangzhou = Yonhap News) Reporter Hong Gyu-bin = Kim Ga-eun (25, Samsung Life Insurance), the star of the women’s badminton team event at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, suffered from an embarrassing situation immediately following winning the championship.
Ga-eun Kim (ranked 18th in the world) defeated He Bingjiao (ranked 5th in the world) in the women’s team final once morest China on the 1st, making the match score 3-0, giving Korea its first women’s team gold medal in 29 years.
However, from that day on, an edited video maliciously targeting Kim Ga-eun was circulated online in China.
After He Bingjao lost to Kim Ga-eun, he looked at the ceiling and made a dejected expression, and Kim Ga-eun imitated and mocked him.
It wasn’t true.
He Bingjao had his back on the Korean national team at the time, and Kim Ga-eun was also celebrating the victory with her teammates shoulder to shoulder.
The facial expression Kim Ga-eun made in the video came from a playful conversation with national team coach Seong Ji-hyun.
He promised not to cry even if he won, but when Coach Seong showed tears, he made a gesture to the effect of asking why Kim Ga-eun was crying.
However, the video of the misunderstanding quickly spread online in China without any opportunity for explanation, and some netizens went to Kim Ga-eun’s social networking service (SNS) and poured out slander and profanity.
Kim Ga-eun was also blatantly booed by Chinese spectators during the women’s singles match.
On the 5th, Kim Ga-eun lost 1-2 (17-21 21-17 15-21) to China’s Chen Yufei (#3 in the world) and was eliminated in the women’s singles quarterfinals.

Kim Ga-eun, whom we met at the Binjiang Gymnasium in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China on the 6th, seemed worried that He Bingjiao might misunderstand her.
Ga-eun Kim said, “He Bing-jiao is a player I like very much. He was a player who, regardless of whether he won or lost, asked each other if he was okay when he slid or fell during a game. I hope that malicious videos do not make us uncomfortable.”
Fortunately, it is said that the trainer of the Chinese national team relayed He Bingjiao’s words that there was no misunderstanding.
Kim Ga-eun said, “I was really worried that people would misunderstand, but I was glad and thankful that they said that wasn’t the case,” and added, “I want to play in a good way once more next time.”
Ga-eun Kim, who left a strong impression in her match once morest He Bing-jiao, is now aiming her racket at the Paris Olympics.
Kim Ga-eun said, “I think I took advantage of the opportunity when it came. It was a valuable experience that allowed me to grow to the next level,” and said following looking back on the Asian Games, “My biggest goal is to qualify for the Olympics and be in the medal group.”
Regarding junior Ahn Se-young, who is playing the women’s singles final that day, he praised her, saying, “I think she’s really amazing and she puts in a lot of effort,” and “she’s a junior, but she’s a person I can learn from and has a lot of good influence.”
