■ Summary of News ■ On August 8, 2021, the Tokyo Olympics, which conveyed excitement and excitement to the world, ended, but the JoongAng Ilbo of South Korea published an editorial and criticized that the Tokyo Olympics were shabby. I found out. According to JoongAng Ilbo, the Tokyo Olympics were postponed for one year from the original schedule due to the influence of the new coronavirus pandemic and started on July 23, but most of the competition was held without the general public. He pointed out that the audience stand was rattling. For this reason, he insisted that the important significance of a sports festival that should be created and enlivened by the athletes who compete and the fans who support it was lost. On top of that, he criticized that “the Tokyo Olympics were a shabby tournament” and “it cannot be called a sports festival.” On the other hand, he insisted that the Korean people’s “Olympic watching culture” looking at the Tokyo Olympics has become even more mature. In Korea so far, people who abstain from the competition in the middle of the competition and those who are in the bottom are usually labeled as rugby players because they expect the gold medal and the first place excessively. It is said that the Korean national team gave generous encouragement and applause even if the Korean national team’s men’s rugby team finished in 12th place and the bottom of the 12 participating countries. He explains that in South Korea today, a culture of enjoying sports itself is becoming established, rather than the Olympics as a means of proclaiming national prestige and medal universalism. Also, at this tournament, “a breakthrough in 4th place” was particularly noticeable. The Korean national team’s high jumpers, men’s diving players, and women’s weightlifting players have all said they have won “4th place like a gold medal.” JoongAng Ilbo explained that the atmosphere in which the Korean people enjoyed the competition itself rather than the color of the medals, focused on the process rather than the result, and was enthusiastic about the drama rather than winning or losing was a valuable achievement that we Korea got from the Tokyo Olympics. In response to these claims, South Korean internet citizens said, “It is true that the Korean people were absorbed in watching the Olympic games, but the level of the Korean TV station and the Korean media reported was very low.” “China and South Korea There was no time difference, and the Olympics were almost like holding a home, but China and Japan had a medal rush. South Korea shouted anti-Japan, denied local meals, made lunch and made a fuss … Maybe I just wanted to cover up the worst results I’ve ever had, “he said. Quote / Reference: https://news.joins.com/article/24122997 ■ Reaction to News ■ This time, the reaction from Japanese netizens to such reports was very impressive and accurate, so I would like to introduce this. increase. “Even in such a harsh situation of the corona, the hardships of many of us Japanese who struggled to make the Tokyo Olympics a success are immeasurable. On the other hand, South Korea radiates ingredients and flowers from Fukushima. I would like you to tell us what the mature Olympic culture is in a country that makes a fuss about the danger of Noh and expresses that it was an unequal Olympics in which only Japanese athletes had an advantage, and that it was unattended and shabby. ” “Did you forget everything that Koreans have done so far, such as the recent series of events, the Olympic boycott turmoil, the cross-border, the food service center, the Korean MBC broadcast accident, and the refusal to shake hands by soccer players?” The Olympics? If it’s a mature Central Daily, you should respect Japan for holding the Olympics at the expense of holding an unattended event in Corona. This editorial is really the worst. “” 4th place It wasn’t a leap forward, but just because there were many 4th places that didn’t reach the medals? It conveys the desperation to somehow beautify and keep the spirit calm. “” What the hell is this article? Korea is mature So is it a fancy article that you are working hard on sports regardless of the medals? People who sit down complaining about the qualifications or complaining about the judgment are not qualified to say that for the medals. ” If you look at the difference in treatment between Korean women’s volleyball and Korean baseball, which should have been 4th place like this, you can understand the Korean people’s feelings toward the Olympics. That’s it. “” The brilliant 4th place (?) Can be said to be something. I’m sure I’ll come up with new expressions such as a refreshing 5th place or a clean 6th place. ” Please put it on your chest and return to Japan as soon as possible. Although I had expected some playful headlines such as mature Olympic culture, I never thought that it would really come out (explosion) “” Two weeks ago and so far It’s rare for newspapers to change drastically (explosion) “” I wish I had declared non-participation like a gold medal anyway. ” It was criticized if I couldn’t call it! ” By the way, MBC, a Korean national broadcaster, used negative images when introducing the countries participating in the Olympics, and was criticized by all over the world for being inappropriate. After that, the Korean MBC received many protests from the country, saying that when Korean judo representative An Chang-rim ended up with a bronze medal, “it was not the color medal we wanted.” In the men’s marathon, Oh Joo-han, who was naturalized from Kenya and became the Korean national team, abstained after 13 kilometers under harsh conditions. I was bathed in cold water, “he said, and received a lot of criticism from Japan. In addition, when Korean baseball loses one after another against Japan and the United States, many comments from the Korean people refused to even support, such as “I want Korean baseball to lose in the bronze medal match” and “No medal is appropriate”. .. Looking at it in this way, it seems clear that the JoongAng Ilbo’s claims of “regardless of medals” and “mature Olympic watching culture” are completely off the mark. On the other hand, since the Tokyo Olympics were run in an unusual form of no spectators, it is true that hundreds of thousands and millions of spectators lost the opportunity to see the competition directly, but the number is 1000 times that number worldwide. Billions and billions of people watched the competition through TV broadcasts and were absorbed in cheering. In particular, the enthusiasm of the Korean people seems to have been unusual. On the contrary, because there were no spectators, the players could easily concentrate on the competition, and for the viewers watching the game on TV, the sounds and voices of the players, referees, and tools could be heard well. It is thought that it was also a good opportunity to present. In addition, it seems that it was of great significance that the Tokyo Olympics brightened the dark atmosphere that covered the world due to the corona storm with the charm of sports. There are various pros and cons to the Tokyo Olympics, and the evaluation and analysis after the fact has not yet been finalized, but there is also an analysis that “the Tokyo Olympics were possible only in Japan.” This time, the JoongAng Ilbo criticized “The Tokyo Olympics were shabby”, but it seems that “the maturity of the Olympic news culture” in South Korea was not seen at all without any gratitude or respect for the host country. Rather, it seems that it was the editorial of JoongAng Ilbo that was extremely shabby. As mentioned above, Kaori Amai has navigated. How did you feel about it?
