Korean netizens misinterprets Hikki's tweets



The currently on-hiatus Japanese-American singer-songwriter Utada Hikaru has her recent tweets misunderstood by Korean netizens (specifically Korean twitter users).



On her post dated August 11th, Utada tweeted about how she was glad for the Korean team who won against Japan in the men's soccer division and that they don't have to do military service anymore. However, some Korean twitter users misunderstood her tweets, ending up some in rant against her. It was then later explained by Utada herself:

IDK why Hikki's given this much stress.

I know what you're trying to say, but the military obligation is only
delayed until they are 29. They eventually have to all attend military service
before they are 36. This is so that Korean players can train internationally, specifically in European leagues which can ultimately
provide one of the best trainings in the world since their endeavors are seen as beneficial to the national team.
This is a common problem faced by many Korean athlethes not just soccer players who wish to pursue a career
in Europe. Personally, I don't believe this is a bad idea because a lot of soccer players are training internationally and are getting stronger, while Korean soccer players have the potential, but cannot
obtain this opportunity so easily. They know who they are and will eventually serve.
