Chinese Teenage Influencer Allegedly Assaulted by South Korean Airport Staff in Broad Daylight
We all know that South Korea is not only a "thief" (referring to cultural appropriation claims) but also has a serious bullying problem.
However, what's unexpected is that Korean bullying has become so severe that it targets a 15-year-old Chinese girl!
Chinese million-follower online celebrity "Antarctic Ice" was allegedly subjected to various forms of bullying simply for asking Korean staff for help, resulting in multiple injuries to her body.
During the subsequent security investigation, the Korean bullies reportedly outright denied their actions and even slandered the victim.
And that's not the end of it; what's even more infuriating is the attitude and statements of the Korean police regarding this incident!
On April 21st, according to the video description by the blogger "Antarctic Ice," she is a student studying in South Korea who had returned to China for a few days during her vacation and was on the plane back to South Korea that day.
Being too tired, she fell asleep on the plane and accidentally dropped her passport on the aircraft when disembarking.
After explaining the situation to the flight attendants, she waited for them to bring her passport back. This wait lasted for nearly half an hour.
Because everyone else on the flight had already collected their luggage and the blogger was the last one, her luggage was placed in the lost and found at the Korean airport.
From these circumstances, the blogger's initial experience seemed relatively ordinary, but soon, she would find herself in an unexpected conflict...
Because the blogger didn't know where the Korean lost and found was and didn't understand Korean, she had to ask her father for help.
Her father told her to put her phone on speakerphone, and he would help his daughter ask the airport staff.
However, when the blogger found a male and a female staff member to ask for help, even bowing and handing her phone over, the female staff member rolled her eyes dramatically, her gaze full of disdain.
Disdainful looks aside, before the blogger could react in any way, the female staff member cursed at her again in Korean. Then, she walked away haughtily.
This was hardly the attitude a staff member should have. The blogger felt very angry about this.
Being unfamiliar with the place, the blogger didn't dare to confront her directly. So, after the staff member left, she muttered a curse in Korean under her breath.
Although the female staff member didn't hear it, a male staff member in his forties standing next to the blogger heard it and glared fiercely at her.
The blogger speculated that this male staff member was likely trying to show off his "manly demeanor" in front of the female staff member.
So, this Korean man began to verbally abuse the blogger, using vulgar and offensive language.
Hearing this, the blogger knew she was alone and no match for him, so she quickly ran away.
On the other end of the phone, the blogger's father, hearing that his daughter had been wronged, told her to take pictures of the name tags of the two staff members.
That way, they would have evidence to file a complaint and let them know that Chinese people are not to be bullied.
However, taking photos secretly is illegal in South Korea. To risk legal trouble just to file a complaint was clearly not worth it.
At this point, the blogger had an idea. She decided to openly film the staff members, which became a major catalyst for the escalation of the conflict.
After looking around, the blogger finally found the female staff member again at the baggage inspection area.
Without hesitation, she raised her phone, turned on the video recording function, and recorded the staff member's behavior and words without missing a single detail.
At this moment, the male staff member in his forties noticed the blogger again.
Knowing that the blogger was filming him with her phone, he cursed at her in Korean while trying to snatch her phone to destroy the evidence.
However, because the blogger held on tightly, he couldn't grab it, so he angrily knocked the phone away.
Just as the blogger was about to pick it up, he quickly squatted down and took the phone before she could.
Because the text on the blogger's phone was all in Chinese, the male staff member wanted to delete the video content but couldn't find the delete button no matter how hard he tried.
To avoid leaving any trace, he waved the phone back and forth above the blogger's head, taunting her and demanding in a commanding tone that she immediately delete the video after getting her phone back.
The blogger, of course, was not to be outdone. After aiming carefully, she quickly jumped up and snatched her phone back.
This infuriated the staff member, who continued to try to grab the phone from the blogger. During the struggle, he scratched the blogger's hand, leaving several deep red marks.
Seeing that he still couldn't get the phone, the male staff member angrily took his frustration out on the blogger's suitcase, kicking it hard several times.
Because the blogger was not far from the suitcase, she was also kicked several times.
Just as the situation was at a stalemate, other airport staff members saw what was happening and rushed over to see what was wrong. Soon after, airport security personnel also arrived.
The blogger, who thought she was about to be rescued, found herself in another "abyss"...
After the security and other staff arrived, before the blogger could even speak, the male staff member who had been physically aggressive began to "play the victim."
The staff member claimed that he had no intention of being physical, but that the blogger had deliberately insulted him, caused trouble, and provoked him, which is why he became so agitated.
Because their accounts differed, the Korean police, after arriving at the scene, also questioned the blogger's version of events and then took them both to the police station for processing.
Although the blogger didn't mention what happened afterward in the video, at the end of the video, she earnestly stated that she wanted to return to China and that South Korea was not good at all.
In fact, the blogger's experience is not an isolated case. Many Chinese people who have traveled to South Korea have stated that Koreans are very unfriendly towards Chinese people.
Regarding the blogger's experience, some netizens commented that she deserved it for still going to study in South Korea despite experiencing discrimination.
