Broadcaster Jeon Hyun-moo is finally making his debut as a World Cup broadcast caster.

According to KBS on the 24th, Jeon Hyun-moo will take the microphone as a caster for the final Group A match of the 2026 FIFA North American World Cup group stage, South Korea vs. South Africa, which kicks off at 10 a.m. (Korean time) on the 25th at the Monterrey Stadium in Monterrey, Mexico. Jeon Hyun-moo will broadcast live from the site via KBS 2TV in tandem with commentator Lee Young-pyo.

This marks the first time the Jeon Hyun-moo and Lee Young-pyo duo will cover a full match in the final Group A game. Jeon Hyun-moo, who is making his debut alongside the sharp-analyzing "Human Octopus" Lee Young-pyo, known for his high prediction accuracy, stated, "What would Commissioner Lee Young-pyo say to me? I'm fully prepared to get scolded," as he issued his call to action for the broadcast alongside his 1977-born peer Lee Young-pyo.

Passionate soccer fan and broadcaster Lee Kyung-gyu is scheduled to convey the enthusiastic support for the national team from the Monterrey Stadium before the match begins, alongside caster Nam Hyun-jong. During the previous match against Czechia, Lee Kyung-gyu received praise for being exceptionally permitted by FIFA to report on the tense moments between the two nations and the condition of the field from the center of the stadium before kickoff.

Additionally, actor and sports commentator Park Jae-min will serve as a Seoul Gwanghwamun local reporter. Park Jae-min is set to vividly transmit the passionate cheers of the South Korean support group.

Meanwhile, the South Korean national team, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, must secure a result better than a draw against South Africa to confirm their advancement to the Round of 32 as the second-place team in the group.
