Park Ji-sung, chairman of the K-Football Innovation Committee, offered harsh criticism regarding Korean football.

On the 29th episode of the tvN variety program 'You Quiz on the Block', Park Ji-sung, the eternal captain of South Korean football, made an appearance.

That day, recalling this year's World Cup in North America and Mexico, Park Ji-sung said, "There were many worried eyes ahead of the World Cup, and people said interest had dropped. Since we were losing the first match but managed to come back from behind, the atmosphere completely changed," mentioning the match against Czech Republic.

He expressed his regret, saying, "I thought the focus on the World Cup would definitely rise and things could go well, but the result was not like that."

Regarding the third match against South Africa, Park Ji-sung commented, "It was a situation where we only needed a draw to advance, yet it felt like we weren't attacking even while losing. I think many people were disappointed by that."

He explained his appearance with an angry expression after the broadcast of the South Africa match went viral: "It was too regrettable. Looking at Lee Beon (CEO) team's strength, the World Cup group draw, travel distances, and even the bracket for the next round, losing such a meaningless game there meant there was no expectation for the next match."

He continued, "As I lost the thought that we could do well in the next match, I became angry and felt wronged. These players could have performed better, yet an unsatisfactory result came out with their abilities not fully shown. I couldn't hide my emotions. It didn't make sense. I couldn't understand why they were playing as if they were winning in this situation."
