On December 21, Beijing time, the 2022-2023 season Short Track Speed Skating World Cup entered an adjustment hiatus after the first four races, and the remaining races will restart in nearly two months. Compared with the much-anticipated moment when he played in an international competition for the first time after naturalizing to China, Lin Xiaoqun's popularity and influence have declined a lot. Especially in the home country of South Korea, it is almost ignored.
Less than two months ago, Lin Xiaojun represented the Chinese team in an international competition for the first time, which aroused great concern in South Korea. The sports section of several major portals reported and analyzed this. The threat and impact Lin Xiaojun may bring to the Korean short track speed skating team is a hot topic among Korean netizens. In addition, the "pink-black war" surrounding Lin Xiaoqi's naturalization as a Chinese citizen is also very popular. It is worth mentioning that the Huang Daxian and Korean Ice League that directly led to Lin Xiaoqi's departure from China have also become the focus of heated discussions.
However, perhaps it was discovered that Lin Xiaoquan's long-lasting battle formation was not as strong as expected. After two or three games, both the Korean media's reports on him and Korean netizens' discussions about him fell off a cliff. Although Lin Xiaojun almost surpassed the Korean team at the last moment in the men's and women's 2000m mixed relay finals in the first week of the Almaty Station, South Korea's mainstream media still reported the matter very lightly and did not seem to take it seriously.
A Korean media person wrote: "With leader Huang Daxian resting, the Korean short track speed skating men's team is still the strongest team. On the other hand, Lin Xiaojun, who traveled to China, is now almost unable to guarantee a complete event. What he has achieved The results are also far from what the Chinese team expected when they naturalized him. Now, the Chinese team has taken up the idea of Hungarian Olympic champion brothers Liu Shaolin and Liu Shao'ang , and obviously realized that the money spent on naturalizing Lin Xiaoqi was probably wasted."
