Back in the 2010s, domestic economy was relatively underdeveloped, while South Korea was at the peak of its economic boom, with the Korean Wave sweeping through East Asia, giving them a strong sense of superiority.
Now, hosting the inaugural F1 Grand Prix at home, they were openly humiliated by a Chinese driver, which was unacceptable to their fragile self-esteem, making it essential to regain face at the Lingyan Circuit.
If at the East Sea International Circuit, Chen Xiangbei saw a sea of red flags, then at the Lingyan Circuit in South Korea, everywhere he looked, there were white Taegukgis, mixed with plenty of banners protesting and cursing him.
To be honest, throughout his journey so far, Chen Xiangbei had faced a lot of cold stares and ridicule.
But seeing this kind of public banner protest and cursing operation for the first time, it was quite an eye-opener for him.
"Sister Man, is this the scene where they can't stand me, but can't beat me either?"
