It feels like looks are almost everything in life

Park Seung-soo, who is getting criticized despite winning a gold medal at the Asian Games.
He didn't even make any remarks; he just took a photo wearing a discharge cap given to him by a fan.
But because his face is so unappealing, he seems to be getting more hate than the two people who actually made thoughtless remarks..
I wonder if he would have been criticized this much if he were handsome, manly, reliable, and dependable like Hyun Bin.
