Viviani's move was a massive dick move - also very sketchy riding. Very good bike handling by the French guy to avoid it, keep going and then give Viviani the 'oi' prod.
I don't think the Korean guy can be at fault for it - wasn't he just keeping going after Cav had swung up the track? He didn't seem to deviate from his line, the fault is all with Cav, just like it was for Viviani.
The difference I think is that Viviani's move looked more obviously accidental and like he swung down without looking.

Do you really think he did that on purpose? That his bike handling skills are so good that he can purposefully cause a crash that takes out his main rival? Sheesh.
It was a mistake, in the heat of the moment and one he knows he made. The Korean rider also made a mistake, as he was overlapping on Cavendish's inside. I don't see much criticism of Viviani, who made a similar movement on the French rider late on in the race but thankfully both stayed upright.
These things happen in races, having a witch hunt on social media afterwards changes nothing.
