![Korean tennis player Kwon Soon-woo smashes his racket on the floor after losing to Kasidit Samrej of Thailand in the second round of the men's singles tournament at the Asian Games on Monday. Kwon, who was considered one of the favorites in the tournament, also appeared to refuse to shake Kasidit's hand after the match, sparking controversy both at home and abroad for his unsportsmanlike behavior. Hong Kong's South China Morning Post lambasted Kwon in an article criticizing his disrespectful behavior, with reporters and fans in Korea also turning on the country's No. 1. Kwon's girlfriend, former Wonder Girls member Yubin, didn't escape the backlash, with some fans taking to social media to suggest she leaves Kwon because of his 'violent behavior.'
