Commentator Park Moon-seong launched a direct attack on coach Hong Myung-bo following South Korea's defeat against South Africa in the World Cup.

On the 25th, immediately after the 2026 North, Central America and Caribbean World Cup Group A match between South Korea and South Africa, Park said, "How did you build the team like this?" and added, "It is an asymmetry of responsibility. Those who hold significant authority and benefits bear little responsibility for poor outcomes. How exactly do you intend to take responsibility?" He criticized the situation.

Hong Myung-bo's team lost 0-1 to South Africa in the match held at the Monterrey Stadium in Mexico on that day.

As a result, South Korea finished with one win and two losses (three points), placing third in the group behind Mexico (nine points) and South Africa (four points).

Previously, commentator Park Moon-seong had continuously criticized the operational capabilities of Hong Myung-bo's team.

Commentator Park Moon-seong also pointed out on the 19th, immediately after the 0-1 defeat against Mexico, via the YouTube channel 'Dalsu-ne Live', "As the opponent became stronger, our weaknesses were exposed without hesitation. If we continue playing football this way, all the attackers will be eliminated."
