”There are no ambulances in Korea” - Selfie with tearful voice... ”Incomprehensible behavior, regrettable” = Korean media

A Japanese wrestler who was injured during a wrestling match in South Korea caused a stir by claiming that he had not received proper first aid, saying, "I heard there are no ambulances in South Korea."
As the controversy grew and even anti-Korean sentiment emerged in some parts of Japan, the player stated his position, saying that there had been a misunderstanding.
According to New Korea Pro Wrestling on the 5th, Japanese professional wrestler Marika Kobashi (21) was arrested on the 31st of last month in Kimpo, Gyeonggi Province.
She participated in the main event title match of the 34th New Korea Pro Wrestling held in Gyeonggi-do and won against the American Seraphim.
The next day, Kobashi posted on his SNS that he was injured during the match, but the organizers said that there are no ambulances in Korea and that he was taken to the hospital in another vehicle.
When I asked to be transported, I was told, 'You can't, because we have to see off the guests.'" He continued, "Thanks to the other athletes, I was able to go to the hospital, but I will never compete again.
In response to Kobashi's assertion, Yahoo! and the Mainichi Shimbun ran articles criticizing Korea's "sloppy safety management system."
As the controversy spread, Yoon Kang-cheol, president of New Korea Pro-Wrestling, said on social media on the 2nd, "It is regrettable that inaccurate facts have been published in Japan," and
Yoon explained the situation at the time, saying, "Right after the match, Kobashi sat down, so we helped him get medical attention from a Japanese black belt athlete who is qualified in sports injuries, and then called 119.
"10 minutes after the call, only a fire engine arrived. As the stadium is located in an area that is difficult to access, we continued to check the feeling in Kobashi's hands, feet and head until the ambulance arrived."
"The ambulance arrived 15 minutes later and took the player to hospital. The ambulance also contained the Japanese player and a member of the association who could translate," he said. "Then, as instructed by the doctor, we carried out the discharge procedures.
Yoon said, "He was taken to the emergency room at Gimpo Woori Hospital, where he underwent a detailed CT scan and was discharged as instructed by the doctor. All medical expenses have been paid."
"In the ambulance, Kobashi took a selfie and uploaded it to social media, which is hard to understand. We should not damage the relationship between Japanese and Korean wrestling with false information," he said.
On the 3rd, Kobashi updated his SNS again, saying, "I was told that (that there was no ambulance) by a Japanese player who was with me at the time," and "I understood that it was Representative Yoon who said it, but...
It seems that the statement was not made by a New Korea Pro Wrestling official. We will correct and apologize for making a statement based on incorrect information."
"I felt distrustful of the way the Korean wrestling side handled the situation, so I returned the championship belt," he said. Regarding the fact that he took a selfie with his cell phone in the ambulance, he said, "It's true, but I don't know the country.
"I prepared myself for death, so I filmed this video thinking it would be the last time. If necessary, I will make it public," he said. He also said, "I do not wish for any further discussion on social media. It is a personal matter with the organizers.
"We simply do not want the issue to spread to Japan-Korea relations, political issues, or the professional wrestling communities of both countries," he added.
