Where is Jeremy Lin from? Is Jeremy Lin Korean?

On February14th, Beijing time, according to the reporter's report, Jeremy Lin's outstanding performance in the past few games shocked the whole NBA (Weibo) and aroused the unprecedented enthusiasm of basketball fans in the whole Asian region. However, correspondingly, there are also some corresponding negative rumors. Earlier, some media and forums said that Korean media claimed that Jeremy Lin was Korean, and some Taiwan Province media also paid close attention to it and reported it. But in the end, it was confirmed that the rumor was purely a rumor, and the Korean media had never had a similar statement.

In some recent forums, the topic of a post is very eye-catching. The title of the post is "Actually, Jeremy Lin is a Korean-Koreans finally did it". In this post, it is said that the media of Korea Culture Daily claimed that Jeremy Lin was a quarter of Korean descent and his mother was Korean. When she was a child, she settled in China with her Korean grandfather. In addition, the post said that the Korean men's basketball team had sent an invitation to Jeremy Lin, trying to get this powerful player to join in and prepare for the team's impact on the 20 14 World Championships. In order to enhance the authenticity of this rumor post, in the process of forwarding this post, some netizens specially added an analysis of the nature of Korean Culture Daily and its corresponding background explanation. Once such a post spread, it immediately caused great indignation among netizens. Some Taiwan Province media also reported this post.

However, after verification, it was found that the tone of the post was very consistent with those rumors posted to the Korean media in the past. There was no news claimed in the post among the Korean media mentioned in the post. The website of Korea Culture Daily hardly updates the news of NBA, and the last report about NBA on their website still stayed in the Christmas war between Dallas Mavericks (Weibo data) and Miami Heat on February 26th last year. Since then, the basketball part of the website has hardly been updated.

Lin's relatives in Taiwan Province Province think it's ridiculous that this rumor post can be circulated. Earlier, it was reported in detail that Jeremy Lin's parents were born and raised in Changhua, Taiwan Province, and have been living here since their ancestors. Jeremy Lin's great-grandfather was a native of Zhejiang and once held an important position in the Kuomintang. 1940, Jeremy Lin's grandmother went to Taiwan Province province with him. This can further prove the fact that Jeremy Lin's mother was born in Taiwan Province Province.
