Creator and broadcaster Kwak Tube (real name Kwak Jun-bin) expressed regret after watching the South Africa match live.

On the 25th, Kwak Tube posted a photo on his SNS with the message, "I returned to Mexico from Korea yesterday. It's very disappointing. I'm on my way back after watching the match."

The released photo shows Kwak Tube visiting the Monterrey Stadium in Mexico to watch the 3rd match of Group A of the 2026 FIFA World Cup North America, Central America, and Caribbean qualifiers against South Africa. He cheered enthusiastically with a Taegeukgi painted on his face, but had to swallow his regret as Korea suffered a defeat.

Korea lost to South Africa 0-1 on this day. Korea could have advanced to the Round of 32 on its own by drawing with South Africa. However, due to the defeat against South Africa, Korea remained with 3 points (1 win, 2 losses), falling to 3rd place in the group behind Mexico (9 points) and South Africa (4 points). Korea will determine its chances of advancing to the Round of 32 by comparing its record with other third-place teams after observing the results of other group matches.

Earlier, Kwak Tube, who had traveled to Guadalajara, Mexico, to cheer for the North America, Central America, and Caribbean World Cup, gave up watching the Mexico match recently and returned to Korea after cheering for the Czech Republic match.

Kwak Tube had previously announced, "I couldn't watch the Mexico match. There are some fixed broadcasts, and my son is 100 days old, so it's funny to say, but I went to Korea for a short while. I went to Korea without watching the Mexico match and then went to a place called Monterrey to watch the South Africa match."

Meanwhile, Kwak Tube married his wife, who is five years younger and a public official, in October last year, and announced the birth of a son in March.
