[Asia Economy Reporter Na Ye-eun] An San (20, Gwangju Women's University), the triple gold medalist in archery at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, visited her alma mater on the 3rd, but a netizen who claimed to be a teacher at the school posted a message saying "Feminist warrior An San is coming," sparking public outrage.
Earlier, on the 3rd, An San visited Munsan Elementary School in Buk-gu, Gwangju, where she first dreamed of becoming a national archery representative. She met the archery coach who taught her and personally guided the juniors.
One hour before An San's visit, an online community on 'DC Inside' posted a photo of a banner that read "Congratulations to An San (Munsan Elementary 18th class) for the first-ever triple gold in Olympic archery," along with a post titled "This is messed up, I'm working and the feminist warrior An San is coming, damn."
When a community user asked, "Are you a student?" the author replied, "Teacher."
