Actor Kim Mu-yeol expressed joy over South Korea's victory against the Czech Republic in the 2026 CONCACAF World Cup match.

On the 12th, we met with Kim Mu-yeol, an actor in Netflix's "True Education," at a café on Samcheong-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, to discuss various topics.

Kim Mu-yeol, whom we met shortly after the victory in the Czech Republic match, clapped his hands and said, "I am so happy." He added, "I had a schedule during the first half and couldn't watch, but as soon as I turned on the TV to watch, they scored the equalizer."

He continued, "I arrived at the interview location, had a brief meeting, and turned the TV back on, and they scored the go-ahead goal." He said, "I consider myself the victory fairy. My joy is two or three times greater. I hope this energy continues through the second and third matches."

Meanwhile, the South Korean national football team trailed 0-1 in the Group A first-round match against the Czech Republic held at the Guadalajara Stadium in Zapopan, near Guadalajara, Mexico, on the 12th (Korea time), but secured a 2-1 victory with an equalizer by Hwang In-beom (Feyenoord) and a go-ahead goal by Oh Hyeon-gyu (Besiktas).

South Korea will face Mexico in the second match at the Guadalajara Stadium on the 19th.
