Not long ago, the Turkish player Alperin Shenjing at the European Championships, talking about Alphabet, said "he is not a very good passer" caused a lot of hot debate and discussion, and the national history of the feud between Greek and Turkish fans in the Internet and the reality of a big fight. Some extreme fans even sent death threats to Alphabet's wife. Shin Kyung and Alphabet then released a joint statement on social media not long ago: "We play for the country we love, we play for the love of the game, and we play with respect. We will always remember that sports are meant to unite us, not divide us."

Shin Kyung then said again in his personal snap, "My post-game comments against Greece were a miscommunication, I have a high level of respect for the Greek people and I didn't mean to offend anyone."

Alphabet also responded in the snap, "My reaction on air was inappropriate, I didn't want to hurt anyone and I'm very sorry. I have nothing but love and respect for people in Turkey and all over the world."
