1. [+2,464, -299] We are not a communist nation, why is this being made to be such a big deal... feels like a controversy drummed up by the media

2. [+1,345, -97] It's fine.. it's not like you knew what you were doing.. don't pay too much mind to it. The only weird ones are the people taking issue with it.

3. [+828, -45] Please just let our players enjoy themselves without worry. I bet the people complaining are the same ones who don't even put a flag up on national holidays.

4. [+551, -43] Anyone who saw knew it was obvious that he stepped on it by mistake~ but of course our Taeguk Warriors have upright characters and will apologize for it immediately~

5. [+431, -40] Considering how excited he was, it's understandable that he accidentally stepped on it. It's not like he did it on purpose. There's no reason to be hating on him so fervently.

6. [+128, -3] I remember watching it and thinking that he obviously wasn't doing it on purpose but knew that people would criticize him for it. It was a mistake. He didn't look like he meant it at all. He himself said that he was too excited to notice so let's please just all move on from this.

7. [+137, -19] He needed to have apologized considering that a clip of him stepping on our flag was broadcast to the entire world. Our citizens are fully in their right to cal him out on that, especially since he's a player representing our national team. It's important that we affirm that the flag is not just a piece of cloth. Just look at the war going on right now and realize just how important your country's flag is.

8. [+145, -42] Let's not shield him over this. No matter how excited he was, he knew pictures were being taken... he knew there was the Taegukgi spread right in front of him on the floor. Stepping right over that was wrong in any sense. He could've walked around it. He was completely in the wrong for it, though I wouldn't go as far as to turn this into a controversy.

9. [+110, -10] It makes no sense to allow a national representative to step on his national flag like that. To all of you who are saying "so what?" what are you actually thinking? There was no reason for him to have walked over the flag to get to where he was going. He's a player who swore to wear this flag on his person to represent our country and to instead be stepping on it in front of the whole world watching?? After our history of all that we've sacrificied to make sure that we are able to wave this flag at all?? Stepping on it is not something that can be brushed udner the rug.

10. [+69, -6] Even if it was a mistake, the criticism is warranted. That's how we make sure the same mistakes don't happen again.

11. [+58, -2] I knew this would hit the news. I was surprised as well. No matter how excited or in the moment you were, it was wrong to step on the flag, and it's being righted now that he's apologizing for it.

12. [+46, -2] I understand the excitement but I've never seen a player step on his own flag like that. He could've walked around behind everyone but he chose to walk all over it, causing the other members to flatten it back out again. ㅋㅋ Quite the situation to see him posting an apology a day later now.

1. [+1,888, -111] Considering the excitement of the scene, I can understand that he was stepping on it without even realizing it. It disgusts me that keyboard warriors are too busy to criticize him without being understanding.

2. [+432, -64] It was just a mistake, so what. It's always the least patriotic people who get caught up over stuff like this. He shouldn't have even had to apologize.

3. [+431, -181] I did think it was disrespectful of him to step on it when I was watching it on TV

4. [+237, -27] Ugh, all this fuss for what? Was it even necessary to point it out? He totally could've not known because he was so in the moment.

5. [+48, -1] This is a criticism that was necessary. No matter how out of it you were, it's still wrong to step on the flag. However, he's apologized now so it's time to put the issue to rest.

6. [+43, -1] I hope this is an opportunity for the players to once again realize how important the flag is... Though I did notice a few of the players make sure that the flag was being held properly before pictures were taken, and I was happy to see that.

7. [+41, -2] I can't believe he actually walked over it ㅋㅋ his mindset is a bit surprising

8. [+35, -2] Some of you guys saying it's okay are crazy... that is our country's flag. Anyone who steps on it should know that an apology is absolutely necessary, especially when you're a national athlete ㅋ

9. [+28, -0] It was wrong of him to do that and right of him to apologize for it, and that should be that

10. [+34, -7] No matter how happy he was, it was wrong of him to step on his country's flag as a person representing that country
