What do you think about 590,000 Chinese tourists traveling to South Korea and half of the tickets for the Winter Olympics sold to China?

I am more willing to believe that this news is false! As we all know, due to the THAAD incident, China-South Korea relations have shown no signs of easing. Although there was a "Haitao Travel Agency" that conducted an ice-breaking trip between China and South Korea before, its end was extremely tragic and was strongly condemned by people across the country! Business is extremely bleak, and I have no sympathy for them at all. This is the result of not caring for the motherland! Therefore, citizens all know that China is currently in a stalemate with South Korea.

So South Korea lost money at the Winter Olympics and wanted to open up the Chinese market, so it used celebrities such as Lee Min Ho and Song Joong Ki to attract Chinese fans to come and spend money. In front of the country, are the Chinese people stupid? Who would abandon their country and turn to South Korea for their own selfish desires? (Although there are crazy fans of Korean celebrities in China who go to Korea to support their fans, I believe there are not as many as 590,000 people who do this).

Now Russia, the United States, and Japan are not encouraging their own sports to participate in the PyeongChang Winter Olympics. It can be said that this Winter Olympics may become the most dismal Olympic Games in history. In order to avoid losing money, South Korea turned to China. Yes, China has a huge market, but why should it be opened to you? When China strongly opposed South Korea's deployment of THAAD, why didn't you consider the current dilemma? It’s really your own fault!

So when the Chinese market was not open, the Korean media began to spread rumors. 590,000 tourists paid half of the Winter Olympics tickets. Who would believe it! On January 30, China News Network reprinted news from Yonhap News Agency: As of now, the total number of tourists from the "Chinese speaking circle and Southeast Asia" expected to travel to South Korea during the Winter Olympics is 10,000, while there are only 8,000 Chinese tourists, not 59 Ten thousand.

It can be said that in order to promote the Winter Olympics, South Korea really used all means, saying that 8,000 people were 590,000. Overall, during the Winter Olympics, there were 8,000 Chinese tourists in South Korea in various capacities, which is reasonable (although it still feels like a bit much).
