On the 4th, Japanese sports media Daily Sports highlighted Shin Yu-bin's sportsmanship while mentioning the bronze medal match of the women's singles table tennis at the Paris Olympics held at South Paris Arena 4 in France the previous day.

In this match, Shin Yu-bin lost to Hayata Hina (5th place, Japan) 2-4 (11-9 11-13 10-12 7-11 12-10 7-11).

Shin Yu-bin, who had lost all four matches against Hayata before that day, failed to win in her fifth match.

Nevertheless, as soon as the match was over, Shin Yu-bin congratulated Hayata, who won the bronze medal, with a bright expression.

She then politely congratulated the Japanese team coach and walked around the court and bowed to the audience.

Daily Sports commented, "Shin Yu-bin approached Hayata Hina, who was sitting down in tears after the match, and congratulated him (on his victory) with a smile.

It was impressive to see the person who lost the medal congratulate the winner first."

Another media outlet, The Digest, also reported on the same day, "When Shin Yu-bin hugged Hayata with a smiling face and congratulated him, there was an outpouring of praise on social network services (SNS) such as, 'That was really touching,' 'It must have been hard for you too, you're amazing,' 'This isn't an easy thing to do,' and so on, that it's impossible to list them all."

In addition, Japanese fans praised Shin Yu-bin, saying things like, "He's a player who shows the dignity of a loser," "He's a player I want to cheer for in the future," and "He has good manners."

Previously, Japanese fans praised Shin Yu-bin, saying, "He's cute," when they saw him eating food like bananas and energy jelly during breaks in the game.

Some even showed their fandom by calling him "Ppyak-ee," a nickname given by Korean fans.

Shin Yu-bin also congratulated Hayata's victory at a press conference after the game.

He said, "I've been watching Hayata for a long time.

He really worked hard and played earnestly," and "I wanted to acknowledge that.

I congratulated him because I wanted to become a stronger player."

Meanwhile, Shin Yu-bin will be challenging herself to win a medal in the women's team event starting on the 5th.
