As the excitement for the 2026 North American World Cup builds, a crude racist act by a high-ranking local official in the host country, Mexico, targeting a Korean female YouTuber has sparked international outrage. Moreover, the man's identity has been revealed as the head of a prominent Mexican organization, causing the backlash to spiral out of control.

According to local Mexican media, including Medio Tiempo and Libro Negro, on the 12th (Korea time), an unpleasant incident occurred while popular Korean creator "Inonyang" was interacting with local fans prior to the Group A match between South Korea and the Czech Republic held in Guadalajara.

At the time, Inonyang was greeting the camera in response to the passionate support of Mexican spectators. While most local fans warmly welcomed her by chanting "Koreano (Korean), Hermano (Brother), now you are Mexican," a middle-aged man looked at the camera, made the typical gesture of tearing his eyes wide apart with both hands to mock Asians, and then showed a despicable smile.

The victim, Inonyang, also exposed the video on her SNS with the caption, "Please see if I am being too sensitive." Once the video was released, angry Mexican netizens immediately launched a doxxing campaign, revealing the man's shocking identity.

Investigations confirmed that the man who mocked the Korean fan is Ulises Fernando Bernal Miramontes, who serves as the president of the Civil and Geology Engineers Association of Jalisco State, Mexico. A prominent local figure who should serve as a model for the public openly committed racism at the World Cup, a national grand festival.

Local public opinion in Mexico is also deteriorating rapidly. Most Mexican soccer fans are saying, "We are trying to welcome Koreans and create good memories, but such a crude person has shamed the nation," and "He is not fit to be the association president. He should resign immediately," pouring out apology messages on behalf of the victim.

Meanwhile, the South Korean national team defeated the Czech Republic 2-1, securing three points and rising to joint first place in Group A alongside host nation Mexico. They are scheduled to play their second Group A preliminary match against Mexico on the 19th.
