'Black and White Chef Lisa' participant Yubibim continued to support the national team even after South Korea was eliminated early from the 2026 FIFA North American World Cup.

On the 14th, Yubibim posted on his account: "World Cup quarterfinals bracket? France, Spain, UK, Argentina, and Korea (Bibim Philosophy Champion: South Korea)."

He further wrote, "When you hit the ball with a bibimbap spoon, it's an obvious goal~ #SouthKorea #WorldCup #BibimKing #BibimLetter #GlobalBibimbap," and uploaded multiple photos.

Previously, the South Korean national team was eliminated early from the 2026 FIFA North American World Cup Round of 32 and faced harsh public criticism over its dismal performance. As a result, head coach Hong Myung-bo resigned, and captain Son Heung-min also posted an apology on social media.

However, Yubibim later took to social media on the 1st with the message: "Heung-min bibimbap & Myung-bo bibimbap? The Bibim King's gift (real bibimbap). Let's mix it up, South Korea~ Cheer up, South Korea~ We are all great citizens of South Korea," presenting bibimbap in support of Hong Myung-bo and Son Heung-min, which drew confusion as "late support."

Today, Yubibim once again showed behavior that was out of sync with current events.

Meanwhile, Yubibim gained public attention by appearing on the Netflix original variety show 'Black and White Chef Lisa: Culinary Class War.' However, in November last year, he confessed to past illegal restaurant operations and suspended his activities.

In fact, Yubibim was indicted for operating a business without reporting it to the district office (violation of the Food Business Act), sentenced to eight months in prison in 2015, and later had his sentence reduced to probation on appeal.

Additionally, it was revealed that although he leased state-owned land with an annual rental fee of only 980,000 won, his restaurant became known as a popular spot, generating sales amounting to hundreds of millions of won.
