I recall seeing this in person at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic speed skating events, it was absolutely disgusting what the South Koreans were doing. No sense of sportsmanship or shame, for that matter
It's always about greasing palms, the skating federation here is regarded as one of the most, if not the most corrupt sports federation in the whole nation.

Even if FIFA was corrupt you had a chance if you were good, but that's not the case here. There's a really, really good reason why An Hyeon-Su is now a Russian national.
