In Group A of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, an incredible scandal erupted in the South Korean National Team as they continued preparations for the match against Czechia. During an open training session, two reporters forgot their microphones were on, and their insult-laden conversation about the team's world-famous captain, Heung-min Son, was broadcast live, shocking the nation.
As the excitement of the 2026 FIFA World Cup continues at full speed, the South Korean National Team, competing in Group A, continues preparations for their critical match against Czech Republic tomorrow. However, during the open training session held by the Asian representative yesterday, shocking dialogues that leaked during the live broadcast, rather than on-field tactics, became the main topic.
"DOES HE THINK HE'S IN THE ARMY OR SOMETHING?"
Two reporters watching the training from the sidelines, unaware that their microphones were on, had their conversation about the team's superstar Heung-min Son heard in full detail on the live broadcast. In the scandalous dialogue that aired, one of the reporters criticized the world-famous star, who plays for Tottenham, saying, "Why is he running as if leading a military unit? Does he think he's in the army or something?"
HEAVY INSULT FROM AN OPEN MIC: THESE FOOLS...
The response from the other colleague to these words sparked outrage in South Korea. The second reporter, referencing Son's exemption status, said, "He hasn't even completed military service. These fools know nothing about the army," drawing strong reactions from football fans following the live broadcast. After this scandal, which instantly became the top news item in the country, it remains a matter of curiosity whether the reporters and the broadcasting organization will apologize.
FAMILIAR NAMES FROM TURKEY ALSO IN THE SQUAD
Despite this administrative and media crisis, the South Korean National Team is trying to maintain their concentration for the match against Czech Republic. Players with a Süper Lig background are also notable in the tournament squad. Hyeon-gyu Oh, the striker playing for Beşiktaş, and Kim Min-Jae, the defender who made his mark with his performance at Fenerbahçe before sailing to Europe, are sweating for the success of the national team squad during this turbulent period.
