10000 Chinese Students Supporters in Seoul

Now this is a hot issue in Korea. About 10000 Chinese students were gathered for cheering and celebrating Olympic torch relay in Seoul, but they smashed Seoul. These students attacked to the other associations like anti-Chinese groups and they were fighting. But the problem is the Chinese students did very harmful things like throwing coshes so even normal Seoul citizen, journalists and police got wounds from them. Now many Koreans are mad at them like “Why they did this in our country?” and Korean government stated these students will be exiled from Korea. Koreans who saw these videos of torch relay in Seoul they says, “Fake Red Devils(Korean national soccer team supporters) smash Seoul.” Actually, this place where they fought is a memorable place to Koreans. There is a downtown of Seoul city and since 2002, when Korea national soccer team has a big match with the other country, Koreans wear red shirts and cheer up together. Koreans held international events 2002 FIFA World Cup, and they are proud of themselves it was successful. Thus this down town Seoul (in front of Seoul city hall) reminds them the memory of World Cup and patriotic.
