Head coach greeted with insults at airport
The team's poor performance has sparked widespread protests in South Korea. Hong Myung-bo was greeted with insults by fans at the airport upon his return from the World Cup.
Hong Myung-bo resigned from his position after the team failed to reach the knockout stages of the 2026 World Cup. South Korea failed to qualify for the next round with one win and two losses in the group stage. The team came under heavy criticism, especially after the 0-1 defeat against South Africa.
President Lee Jae-myeon also criticized the results and called for a thorough study of the management and personnel policies of the national team.
