While Park Ji-sung kept his mouth shut in shock over the defeat against South Africa in the World Cup, Bae Sung-jae reported, "He seems very angry, so I can't even talk to him."

In a video released after JTBC's World Cup broadcast on the 25th, Bae Sung-jae, caster Kim Hwan, and commentator Park Ji-sung were captured.

On that day, Bae Sung-jae and Kim Hwan discussed the heartbreaking defeat, while Park Ji-sung sat beside them, keeping his mouth shut without saying a word. In response, Bae Sung-jae told Park Ji-sung, "Please say a final word. You seem very angry, so I can't even talk to you."

At Bae Sung-jae's joke, Park Ji-sung smiled slightly and said, "It was a game where I felt this frustrated while watching it, to the point of wondering if I've ever felt this way. It was a game where I felt the players couldn't do what they wanted to do, so it's regrettable." He added, "There's nothing I can do. I can only say to rest well, prepare well, and if there's another game, to play well, so I feel regretful and sorry. I had an uneasy feeling, but I never expected it would turn out like this today," as he tried to control his anger.

Bae Sung-jae said, "We are going to wrap it up here now. If we had won today, we would have stayed longer, so I'm sorry." He added, "People are waiting outside to take a photo with commentator Park Ji-sung. When you go out, please take a photo with a smile."
