On the 27th, the 2026 FIFA North, Central America and Caribbean World Cup caster Nam Hyun-jong and commentator Lee Young-pyo appeared as guests on KBS Cool FM's 'Park Myung-soo's Radio Show'.

On that day, DJ Park Myung-soo said about Nam Hyun-jong, "The biggest beneficiary of this World Cup broadcast will be Nam Hyun-jong. There is a reason why he has to succeed. (Nam Hyun-jong) injured his leg recently."

Announcer Nam Hyun-jong stated, "I tried to play soccer with my body, and my Achilles tendon completely ruptured."

Upon hearing this, Park Myung-soo joked, "It's a luck-turning move. Our player got injured, and Nam Hyun-jong got injured." Nam Hyun-jong retorted, "I was a victim of a rental fraud scam 7 years ago, my leg was broken, and how long do I have to keep turning my luck?" eliciting laughter.

Lee Young-pyo, who heard this from the side, advised, "I am also cautious about mentioning this. Although I have played soccer for a long time, soccer players rarely suffer from Achilles tendon injuries. One must pay attention to body management on a daily basis."
