I think the penalty is just too much. Another type of penalty like adding time to the opponent's clock seems much fairer. I don't agree that pulling out a chunk of stones at the end isn't relevant to a pro player. If you're under time pressure everything counts, let alone your opponent unwittingly, or not, hiding stones. And I think it's a bit too much to put this on Koreans. Most Koreans probably have mixed feelings about this, just like anybody else. It almost always comes down to a vocal minority with decision power. And finally, let's not forget that Ke Jie 9p is a multiple times world champion who has played frequently in Korea over the past 10-15 years. I would like to think it wouldn't that difficult for him to adjust, not to mention that he and his team were warned about this multiple times before the finals.
Ke was severely affected by these despicable behavior. 😡 Taiwan TSMC AI semiconductors dominate Samsung & LG! TSMC and Hon Hai will hold these Tournaments with prize money of million US dollars!!
Ok rule terrible penalty. Appropriate penalty would be give 2 extra minutes to opponent for each offense. And get rid of the ridiculous 30 minutes of deliberation.
Congratulations to the KGB for finding such a creative way to win the game.

~29:00 How do you forget that the opponent has captured a lot more than 5 stones tho? xD
