Actor Han Jeong-soo launched a fierce criticism against Hong Myung-bo, the coach of the South Korean national football team, following the team's defeat against South Africa.

On the 25th, Han Jeong-soo posted on his Instagram after the defeat against South Africa, stating, "They showed the worst match in history with the best players. There was no tactical strategy whatsoever, inexplicable player selections, and a tendency to blame the players until the end. This truly shows what the worst kind of coach looks like."

He continued, "It wouldn't have been like this even during the 1954 Switzerland World Cup. I'm starting to really hate football now," and added a sharp remark, "Is Hong Myung-bo from South Africa?"

Furthermore, he said, "It seems best for Mr. Hong Myung-bo to apply for naturalization in South Africa. Do not come to Korea," while launching a fierce attack.

He then added, "In fact, I want to send infinite gratitude, trust, and support to our players who had the hardest time. You worked very hard. You were the best."

Meanwhile, the South Korean national football team lost 0-1 to South Africa in the third match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup North America group A on the morning of the 25th. The South Korean national team finished the group stage with one win and two losses, currently holding third place in Group A.
