I hate to say it but plenty of people are very close-minded and think all "short" people are greedy and manipulative. And monsters. Just going by comments I see on the internet. In Korea it's a bit worse than that. (though in his case I guess yeah he's short and not "short")

This is really weird because the Korean men I come across are nearly all short, thin, pale, and dress their hair like girls.

Your POV would also explain the CE distrust of China, BTW.

Well, 190cm and below are considered losers here after all

(Korea is getting taller fairly quickly, just as Japan is... but still rail thin. In China people just seem to be getting fatter. My experiences anyways.)

Is this common knowledge among his detractors? Because my post in his defense was in response to many people making a range of catty comments about him but never mentioning anything like this.

^^it may be or not, but the people making the comments are most definitely giving him **** about HEIGHT and not his morality (what little we know of the circumstances)... lord knows Beckham doesn't get the **** Scott does (or at least gets secret high-fives)

Ok, I am a little, 180 was where the famous quote is from (this girl was interviewed for some show on Korean TV and said all men under 180 are losers... as you'd know, Korean people aren't quite that tall so her personal information was found quite quickly and she was embarrassed, to put it very lightly. The country is pretty small making it easy as you know...).

Well since he probably doesn't know Scott, his ex-wife, Garance, or anyone even remotely connected with what happened, whatever happened... ...to me it just smacks of jealously. Which is way more pathetic than any supposed sins Scott has committed.

Hey man I just said she said anyone under 180 is a loser, not that those above 180 are winners

looks like Isaia at Saks. Whatever it is, it is way too tight in the waist/chest for him and the patch pockets looks silly on what seems to be a worsted wool but I do love the curve and size of the lapels. And I like his hairstyle.

He's supposedly "ISAIA's youngest master tailor, Gianluca Robinho"

I do like the lapels a lot and the upper part of the sleeve seems nice but then it tapers way too much. If he gave himself some room in the body of the coat, it would look great. It's too slim-straight as is. I hope Isaia gives up all those gaudy fabrics that they have favored in recent years ans goes back to luxurious basics.

I agree that it looks too tight on him, btw.
