Actor Kim Soo-ro shed tears after the Korean national football team was eliminated in the group stage of the 2026 North, Central America, and Caribbean World Cup.

On the 28th, Kim Soo-ro posted a short video on his social media with the message: "Son Heung-min, please until the next World Cup. This time, the people have gone through a lot. Let's cheer up."

The released video showed the Democratic Republic of the Congo supporters celebrating their 3-1 comeback victory over Uzbekistan in the third group stage match of the 2026 FIFA North, Central America, and Caribbean World Cup held earlier that day. With the Democratic Republic of the Congo's win, all possible scenarios for the Korean national team to advance to the round of 32 were eliminated, resulting in their exit.

Kim Soo-ro expressed his bewildered feelings, saying, "But why am I crying? Let's work hard and run again starting tomorrow."

Meanwhile, the Korean national team's failure to advance to the World Cup round of 32 marks the first time since the 2018 Russia World Cup, eight years later.
