Nam Ki Ik confessed in an interview: "In China, the amount of alcohol consumed at the table often witnesses the depth of friendship, so I am used to challenging white wine over 50 degrees. This inevitably caused many Chinese fans to tease: I am afraid this is the most profound lesson he learned in China. Although Korea doesn't have much of a drinking culture, there is a clear respect for hierarchy in the society, and the rules at the table are not to be ignored. If you do not get permission, you will not have the right to enter the table, can only be reduced to the supporting role of the banquet, serving cups of food. The respect for hierarchy in Korean society is evident. The younger generation is always in awe of their seniors, and this is especially true at the banquet table. The younger generation is not only required to take the initiative to raise their glasses, but even to drink before their seniors, with a humble face." However, it was not all smooth sailing for Nam Ki Ik in his coaching career. According to media revelations, he had serious disagreements with the Chinese coaching staff of Yang Chen's team. Nam Ki-il stuck to his guns and directly told Yang Chen not to enter the locker room. This fully demonstrated Nam's distinctive personality. Faced with this situation, Yang Chen had no choice but to resign. Then, Li Wei Feng of the Chinese coaching team also left the Henan team with Yang Chen. Li Wei Feng's tenure in Henan was marred by setbacks, but the introduction of Xu Jiamin epitomized his time in Henan. In addition to Nazario and Maidana, Henan also brought in two foreign players.
