According to New Korea Professional Wrestling on the 5th, Japanese professional wrestler Marika Kobashi (21) won the title match of the main event of the 34th New Korea Professional Wrestling held in Gimpo City, Gyeonggi Province on the 31st of last month.
The problem began when he posted a statement on social networking services (SNS) saying, "I did not receive proper action when I had an accident at a Korean professional wrestling game," and "I will return the champion's throne."
Criticizing the organizers' lack of response, he said, "When I asked for an ambulance, I was told that 'Korea has no ambulance'. Then, I asked them to take me to the hospital in a group car, and they refused, saying, 'Pick me up first'."
"It turns out that there was an ambulance in Korea. Thanks to the players around me, I was able to call an ambulance to go to the hospital," he said. "This measure is not appropriate."
Japanese media covered the incident, criticizing the Korean organizers' safety management system. A series of reports have led some Japanese netizens to express anti-Korean sentiment.
As the controversy grew uncontrollably, Yoon Kang-chul, CEO of New Korea Professional Wrestling, said on the 2nd, "After the accident, I called 119 and transferred the player by ambulance," adding, "In the ambulance, a player from the association who can talk with Japanese players was also accompanied."
"He was transferred to the emergency room of our hospital in Gimpo, where he was discharged as instructed by his doctor after a CT scan, and all medical expenses were paid. The next day, he escorted Marika to the airport to help her leave the country," he said. "In the ambulance, Marika took selfies (self-camera photos) and uploaded them to social media, which was difficult to understand. I don't think we should put a damper on professional wrestling exchanges between Korea and Japan with false information."
As the controversy grew, Kobashi said, "I apologize for making the remarks based on incorrect information. I will correct them quickly," but added, "I heard from someone that there is no ambulance in Korea, not from Yoon or an official. I hope he doesn't mention Korea-Japan relations."
He also explained about filming the video in the ambulance, saying, "It took a while until the ambulance arrived, but after hearing about the incident, I am grateful that you did your best," and "I took the video because I thought I should leave the last evidence because I was prepared to die in an unknown country."
