Netizens Slam Soccer Star Lee Kang In For “Insincere Apology”
In an incident that has the soccer world in an uproar, players Lee Kang In and Son Heung Min were caught in the crossfire. It was alleged that during a team dinner, a scuffle broke out between Son Heung Min and the younger players, including Lee Kang In. The report states that the scuffle was over Paris Saint-Germain F.C. (PSG) star Lee Kang In, who wanted to play table tennis after a team dinner. Son Heung Min wanted Lee Kang In to get an early rest to prepare for their upcoming match. In the tussle that ensued, Son’s hand was injured.
Since the incident, the “younger players” on the team have uploaded apologies. As the one at the center of it all, Lee uploaded an apology to his Instagram story.
I apologize to the many people who are disappointed in me. I am well aware of how invested fans are in me as a player. From now on, I will try to support the senior players and become a better player and person.
— Lee on Instagram
The apology has since received even more criticism. Fellow player Kim Min Jae put out his apology as a post, leading to comparisons between the two.
Netizens felt that an Instagram story apology only proved how insincere Lee was. Stories disappear after 24 hours, erasing the matter from the user’s public profile.
- People have always been criticizing Instagram story apologies for not bing a proper apology. People are not hating because it is Lee, so put aside your victim mentality.
- Kang In-ah, why did you do that?
- Sigh.
- Idols get cursed out hundreds of times more than this when they upload apologies on their stories LOL.
- There’s so many people originally who hate apologies on stories, because it looks insincere. Even if it was for another matter, it would’ve become a problem. This is not a light matter, isn’t it? He was careless in dealing with it.
- I also think that apologies on stories are bad, but mocking him is bad too.
- In the first place, why did he upload it on stories? It makes him look so insincere.
- I also don’t like apologies on stories, but I hope it doesn’t cross over to insulting him personally.
- Apologies on stories really suck,
Many other stars who have utilized Stories for apologies before, have also faced criticism. The truth remains to be prevailed, as Lee’s lawyers are currently on the matter. Read more about the incident below.
