Summary
The 57-year-old Hong had already failed at the 2014 World Cup as national coach of the country. Nevertheless, the former general secretary became national coach again in July 2024. He was "not only baffled by this unexpected result, but finds it downright absurd," Lee Jae Myung wrote in a detailed statement on Platform X. The failure, "which has caused disappointment among citizens, seems to be due to failures in organization and human resources," commented Lee, who focused his criticism primarily on the domestic election of Hong.
Furthermore, The association is accused of manipulating the nomination process of former national coach Hong Myung-bo, as South Korea’s official news agency Yonhap reported. South Korean police have carried out a raid on the premises of the National Football Federation (KFA). The "red devils", as the national team is popularly called, dropped out early in the group stage after a disappointing performance.
