French broadcaster Fabian expressed regret over South Korea's failure to advance to the Round of 32 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America.

On the 29th, Fabian posted on his SNS: "Failed to watch the Round of 32 match in person. LAGalbi and sundubu (soft tofu stew) intake successful! #koreatown #WorldCup #Don'tBreak #SouthKorea," accompanied by a photo.

In the photo, Fabian was seen wearing a gat (traditional Korean hat) while enjoying Korean cuisine at a restaurant in Koreatown. He drew attention by holding chopsticks with a determined expression.

Netizens cheered Fabian with comments such as "A Frenchman who didn't even watch the France match before returning from the U.S.," "We're sorry," "Spent a lot to eat expensive Korean food," and "A foreigner in Korea wearing a gat," among others.

Previously, on the 28th, Fabian had shared his recent activities, stating, "Came all the way to LA to support South Korea, but only cheered for other countries. #Possibility #RoundOf32 #WorldCup."

On that day, in the World Cup Group Stage K match held at Atlanta Stadium in Georgia, U.S., the Democratic Republic of Congo defeated Uzbekistan 3-1. With Congo securing a Round of 32 spot, South Korea fell to ninth place among third-placed teams, ending their hopes of advancing to the Round of 32.
