A South Korean tennis player had an epic meltdown Monday after suffering an embarrassing second-round loss at the 2023 Asian Games in China, according to the Longview News-Journal.
Soonwoo Kwon, ranked No. 112 by the ATP, lost to Thailand’s Samrej Kasidit, who is ranked No. 636, at Hangzhou Olympic Sports Centre in Hangzhou, China.
After Kwon lost the match, 6-3, 5-7, 6-4, he took his frustration out on his racket, slamming it to the ground eight times while walking over to his bench.

tennis racket: dude what the fuck ? it was your fault, not mine.
kpop habit 😊
lol nothing more professional than seeing a player acting like a sore loser kid…
Real Korean.
100 % korean man.
This guy is angry because his parents made him play tennis when all he wanted was to be a K-Pop idol . . . 's backup groupie's stunt double.
I’m not a fan of Korea when it comes to sportsmanship but I would be pissed off if I was him. The whole comment section are full of stupid people commenting based on this short clip. Fk killers on the internet. If the comment section would understand the full story then write down their comments lol. His opponent was delaying the match constantly, and the referee is not doing a good job.
He crazy !
Pathetic
ban the prick
He’s mad. He fucked up the serve. I’d probably do the same if things were on the line.
超派
I laugh so hard when someone speaks about sportsmanship in support of south korea, south koreans are the worst, yes the worst when comes to sportsmanship spirit and fairplay, I can give more than 50 such examples which happened in international stages, like 2002 football worldcup match against Italy, several cases of use of hands to hit opponent in Taekwondo, one time severely injuring a Taiwanese athlete's vocal cord but the judges present at that event didn't disqualify the korean athlete, several cases of slapping, biting and other unruly behavior in Judo, Wrestling, Ice-skiing, Wushu etc.
massive showcasing of small sissy dcik energy, go korea 🤣🤣🤣
That is what koreans do when they lose. Too much kimchi and beef.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉
南朝鲜人 应该是全球体育精神最差的国家了，素质极低。
reading all these comments from people that aren't even attempting to find out WHY he is angry. he is upset because since he did not earn a medal here, he now he has to forfeit his ranking and enlist into the military. otherwise he would have been exempt from service. after tirelessly working so hard every day to reach a ranking as high as he had, then having to totally stop that progress, you would be quite upset as well.
Been there buddy 🤷🏻♀️😂
子不教，父之过，美国人应该管好你们的韩国儿子，别出来丢我们亚洲的脸😂
This country is stupid nature haha
he show his truly nature of country
he did it cause he is going to military after this lost… he is going there for 1.5-2 years 😭😭🤣 In korea males between 18 to 28 needs to go to millitary expect those who won asian games 😭🤣 or they have medail in olympic games 😂😂😭 I would to the same if I was him 🥹
The other player took a fake medical break when he was down a break. That is simply cheating and breaks the momentum of the game. Kwon lost after the game resumed and that's why he's po'ed. Frankly I think it's definitely justified. The Thai player should have been disqualified.
Compensation for our flooring
He was just trying to swap a fly.
Typical Korean😎😎😎 This is the reality,not in dramas haha
Makes sense why Yubin broke up with him. He's a time bomb.
You can be upset but don’t forget to have Sportsmanship. You should shake hands with the opponent =_=
Spoiled.
It is a scandal for South Korean athletes, both tennis and taekwondo. This is probably the nature of the people of this country.
I can see a Chinese in his image
Elite Asian in nutshell
