00:04There are probably not many countries like South Korea.
00:06There's a lot of news after a loss.
00:08South Korea recently recorded its worst performance in World Cup history.
00:12Unable to advance from the group stage
00:13Final ranking 34
00:14Pack your bags and go home early
00:16And what welcomed them back home was...
00:18The fans' deafening protests and angry outbursts
00:21Ouch
00:22Korean fans are so sore losers!
00:24Wait a minute
00:25The reason that ignited the fans' anger
00:27It's not as simple as just losing the game.
00:29This also involves the shady dealings behind South Korea's foot blood transfusion system.
00:38Before departure
00:39This is the function of Sun Xingmin
00:41The South Korean team, featuring stars like Yi Kang-in and Kim Moon-jae
00:43Highly anticipated by the outside world
00:45Praised as the gold belt
00:47The team's total value is a staggering €139 million.
00:50But after the game started
00:52On the surface, the South Korean team is dazzling and star-studded.
00:55However, his performance was lackluster and drew criticism.
00:58Besides the monotonous tactics
01:00Head coach Hong Mingfu's personnel strategy has also been heavily criticized.
01:03Especially in life-or-death battles
01:05They actually left team captain Sun Xingmin out in the cold, replacing her as a substitute.
01:08This absurd mobilization of troops without proper strategy
01:11This completely ignited Min Yuan's anger.
01:13Even received death threats
01:15Ultimately, under immense public pressure, Hong Mingfu announced his resignation.
01:19How angry were the Koreans?
01:21South Korean President Lee Jae-myung vehemently criticized the absurdity.
01:24From merchants to the sky
01:26A sign prohibiting head coach Hong Mingfu from entering.
01:29Even when South Korean television stations broadcast news about Hong Mingfu...
01:33It knocked his face unconscious.
01:35Hong Mingfu became the target of everyone's condemnation.
01:38Therefore, we initially saw the head coach...
01:40Fans stormed the airport on the way back to China.
01:43Scenes of venting dissatisfaction
01:45In fact, Hongmingfu can be considered the bullseye of the anger of the South Korean people this time.
01:48This defeat has fueled long-standing resentment among the public.
01:51Dissatisfaction with the Football Association's personnel-based coach selection mechanism
01:54One time or an outbreak
01:56Hong Myung-bu is the former captain of the South Korean national football team.
01:59Having participated in four World Cups
02:02He was the captain of the team in the 2002 World Cup.
02:04Leading the South Korean team to a historic semi-final appearance
02:07This made South Korea the first Asian team to reach the World Cup semi-finals.
02:12However, when he took over as head coach for the World Cup in 2014...
02:15Also because the team was eliminated in the group stage.
02:17Resignation due to unsatisfactory performance
02:19He returned to the public eye in 2024.
02:21However, this reappointment was already highly questionable at the time.
02:24The process is widely considered to lack transparency.
02:27South Korean police have now officially intervened.
02:30To investigate whether there were any irregularities in the appointment process.
02:33The first police officer heard the announcement
02:34They have received multiple reports.
02:36A full investigation is underway into the top leadership of the Chinese Football Association, led by Chairman Chung Meng-kyu.
02:39In the process of appointing Hong Mingfu
02:41Does it involve illegal activities such as working alone?
02:43He has been re-elected four times.
02:45The current president, Zheng Mengkui, has served for 13 years.
02:47Leveraging the vast capital of the Hyundai Group
02:49The Football Association has absolute power.
02:51And the recently resigned head coach Hong Mingfu
02:53It was his trusted and capable assistant who was highly valued by him.
02:56The team's defeat
02:57It's because the Korean Football Association is behind it.
02:59The intense competition caused by the long-standing dark secrets of the selection process
03:02Strongly opposed to fueling the flames
03:04That's why Koreans appear.
03:06The overwhelming condemnation of Hong Mingfu
03:08However, after the South Korean team returned home...
03:10South Korean President Lee Jae-myung now
03:11He also publicly made harsh remarks to the team.
03:13Thanks for your hard work
03:14You have given it your all
03:16Perhaps this sentence also points out
03:18The real anger of South Koreans
03:19They weren't angry about losing the game.
03:21Instead, they felt that a golden belt
03:23Wasted by a highly questionable management system
03:26The World Cup is over.
03:27But the real test for South Korean football
03:29Perhaps this is just the beginning.
