This sounds like a technical error. Like losing a weight lifting competition because the judges counted your bar as 40 pounds instead of 45 pounds.

Once you correct the technical error the medals should go to the person with the best performance.

This is not a normal case of sour grapes where you are protesting a debateable foul or something.
However, there is footage that shows that the Korean gymnast wouldn't have won anyway due to a technicality on the parallel bars...but of course no one is pointing this out...
