Broadcaster Lee Kyung-gyu made remarks criticizing coach Hong Myung-bo after it was confirmed that the South Korean national football team failed to advance to the Round of 32 in the '2026 FIFA North, Central America and Caribbean World Cup'.

On the 28th, a video titled 'Waiting for 2030, I'll stop here' was posted on the YouTube channel 'God Kyung-gyu'.

Lee Kyung-gyu said, "I hope Son Heung-min does not retire by the 2030 World Cup. The coach will change, right? What if they appoint him again? I'll go crazy. I'll go mad."

Lee Kyung-gyu continued, "I should challenge for the Football Association presidency and try to build a team. Tonight, I'll tell (Lee) Yun-seok to gather people to run for the Football Association presidency. (Lee) Soo-geun and Kang Ho-dong should lead the charge and try to take on the Football Association."

Meanwhile, on this day, in the World Cup group stage K-match 3 held at Atlanta Stadium in Georgia, USA, the Democratic Republic of the Congo defeated Uzbekistan 3-1. With the Congo securing a Round of 32 ticket, South Korea was pushed down to 9th among third-place teams, and their bid to advance to the Round of 32 was dashed.
