Travel YouTuber and broadcaster Kwak Tube (real name Kwak Jun-bin) apologized for remarks he made in a video of him watching the 2026 North American World Cup match live.

On the 12th, a video titled "Miracle World Cup Czech Match Live Highlight - Mexico (1)" was posted on Kwak Tube's YouTube channel.

On that day, Kwak Tube watched the Group A first-round match between South Korea and Czech Republic live in Mexico.

Regarding the Czech national team's match management, Kwak Tube said, "They're not playing soccer, just doing set pieces. What kind of soccer is this? Is this Arsenal? Right now, South Korea is Manchester City and Czech Republic is Arsenal."

He continued, "They all crowd in and just stick their heads in. Is that soccer? This is anti-football. What are they doing?"

Some soccer fans who saw this pointed out, "Mentioning a specific club was reckless," and "It was a rude remark toward all teams."

As the controversy arose, Kwak Tube personally admitted his mistake through the comment section, saying, "It was the first match of the World Cup, so soccer fans watching from their rooms got overly excited, and there were too many aggressive expressions related to Arsenal." He apologized, saying, "I am sorry, and next time I will be more careful with my words and try to speak nicely."
