[+1,096, -6] Guys like him are an embarrassment to the country. What is the Tennis Association waiting for? Bring him back home immediately. We don't need any medal from him.

[+752, -1] He doesn't even have the basics down... doesn't even have the understanding that participating in the Asian Games is under representation of your country, not for personal gains... How dare you behave like this while representing your country? He should be banned from ever competing on a national level again.

[+411, -2] No skills, no character

[+119, -1] He has embarrassed not only himself but our country to the rest of the world. He needs to be banned for life.

[+116, -2] Manners maketh man

[+82, -4] How dare someone so ignorant represent a country?

[+50, -0] Who does he think he is? Some top ranker? How dare you ignore your opponent like that? He needs to learn to be a human being before competing like this.

[+40, -0] I'll give him a pass on smashing the racket. I've seen it happen often with other foreign players. But ignoring your opponent? That's unforgivable and proves he has no right to represent our country on the world stage.

[+29, -0] Lost the game, lost his manners, lost his character. Return your Taegeuk mark, please.

[+27, -1] And why should our country be the one to shoulder the embarrassment caused by his behavior? 

[+16, -1] Aigoo-ya... he has no sports mentality

[+13, -0] Immediately bring him back to the country and penalize him accordingly. How dare you behave like this with the Taegeuk flag on your chest?

[+18, -0] Yoobin-ah, just look at how nasty his temper is, how violent he is. He might beat you if you get into a fight with him. Think long and hard about this relationship.

[+7, -0] If he acts like this in public, I can't imagine in private... I don't get why our country should have to feel the burden of embarrassment over your actions...

[+6, -0] Stuff like this is when you see someone's true colors. The fact that he was able to behave like this when he knew media from all over the world was watching him is just an example of what a violent person he is... This may be what ends his career but... for his girlfriend, this is an opportunity to get away from him. Do not feel sympathy or anything for him. Just quietly end the relationship...

[+3, -0] Yoobin-ah! Now's the time! Hurry~~~~~

[+1, -0] R... run away from him

Article: Korean Tennis Association, "Kwon Soon Woo will be issuing an apology to everyone regarding his attitude controversy"

Source: JTBC via Naver

[+5,808, -74] It's not just an apology that's needed, he should be permanently expelled. He's damaged our country's image way too much.

[+2,422, -12] An international embarrassment... an apology is not needed, he needs to be penalized

[+1,449, -10] Forget the apology, we've already seen his true colors. I feel bad for his Thai opponent. His actions have just made him lose not just one game but two, three games at once.

[+1,251, -19] ㅋㅋ Was the anger outburst because he's going to be enlisted if he loses this match? Even if he has to go serve, he'll probably end up spending his time playing tennis with the other stars anyway. He's set for an easy service. He's proven to be greedy with rock-bottom character.

[+478, -9] Forget the rest of his training. Just bring him back to Korea. He'll never get anywhere with those skills.
