French broadcaster Fabien (37) congratulated the Korean men’s archery team for winning the gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Fabian posted on Instagram on the 30th, “South Korea wins gold in the men’s team archery event. France also wins silver. Phew, I’m alive.”
The photo that was released together shows Fabian smiling brightly while holding the Taegeukgi in the stands of the Paris Olympic Archery Stadium. Fabian also added the hashtag ‘#safereturn’ to the post. After seeing this, French broadcaster Robin Deiana also left a comment saying, “We survived.”
Fabien was recently targeted with malicious comments by some Korean netizens because he is French. At the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics, the announcer introduced ‘Korea’ as ‘North Korea’, and some netizens left malicious comments on his social network service (SNS).
Fabian uploaded a video to his YouTube channel at the time and said, “When the South Korean team entered, the Olympic organizing committee introduced them as North Korea.” He continued, “I was watching the live broadcast on SBS at the time, so I didn’t realize it at all, and I only found out after the broadcast was over. I was so shocked and angry, and I’m shocked that something like this could happen at a global sporting event like the Olympics.”
He said, “When I got home, I was being bombarded with social media, emails, and comments. It’s not something I’m not used to. When Son Heung-min and Lee Kang-in fought during the Asian Cup in Qatar, they were bombarded with comments, and this time, because the Olympics are being held in my country, I’m getting bombarded again.”
Fabien is an actor, model, and broadcaster who is a former member of the French national Taekwondo team. Fabien has lived in Korea for 16 years this year and has a special affection for Korea, having obtained a level 1 Korean language proficiency test and completed the Dokdo Academy.
Fabian said, “Doing taekwondo, listening to K-pop, and watching Korean movies and dramas were the joys of my life. Korean culture was the source of my happiness. I have been connected to Korea since I was young.”
He debuted in the 2008 drama ‘East of Eden’ and has since been active in various entertainment programs. In March 2022, he announced that he had obtained a Korean permanent resident visa.
