🚨 | 𝐊𝐈𝐌: “𝐈 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘 𝐎𝐅 𝐀 𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐑, 𝐈 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐀 𝐋𝐎𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐅𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐈𝐍 𝐌𝐘𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐅…” Shout out to Rangers Football Club media for a really great interview with insightful questions. Tells us a lot about the lad. 👀 Notice he can speak some English. 🗣️ Notice he resorts to Spanish to explaining himself as opposed to Korean—reflecting his Spanish upbringing. 🇪🇸 He also has an edgy confidence that isn’t too common among Asian footballers who are culturally bred to more humble—reflects that Spanish upbringing as well. He seems to understand the assignment and responsibility on his shoulders as a Ranger. 💙🤍 Let’s get behind the lad, be patient as he adjusts. I’m sure we’re going to see some great football from him. 🫡🇰🇷

İtiraf ediyorum, başta bu adamı pek sevmemiştim. “Oh Hyeon-gyu’nun yerini almaya gelen bu adam da kim?” diye düşünmüştüm. Transfer açıklandığında da biraz gönülsüzce, “Umarım takım için en hayırlısı olur” demiştim. 😤 Ama sonra bu videoları izlemeye başladım. Tutkusunu, kararlılığını, #Beşiktaş’a ve taraftarına olan sevgisini görüyorum. Onun bu tutkusu beni de etkileyince, aslında ne kadar Beşiktaşlı olduğumu fark ettim. Bir Koreli oyuncunun daha fazla süre almasından bile daha önemli olan şeyin bu olduğunu anladım. 🙏 Hem sizlerden duyduklarımdan sonra, bu uzun sezonda Oh ile birlikte çok iyi bir ikili olacaklarına artık inanıyorum. (Gerçi 4-4-2 görsek hiç şikâyet etmem 😏) Artık gönül rahatlığıyla söyleyebilirim ki Vlahovic’i gerçekten destekliyorum ve onunla Oh’un hücum hattımıza liderlik etme ihtimali beni çok heyecanlandırıyor. 🔥 Bu sezon şampiyon olalım ve kartalın kanatları bizi ne kadar yükseğe taşıyabiliyorsa o kadar yükseğe uçalım. 🦅🖤🤍

🚨 | 𝐉𝐈𝐍 𝐉𝐎𝐍𝐆-𝐎𝐇 𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐒 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐈𝐆𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐎𝐅 𝐊𝐅𝐀 𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏 Olympic legend and National assembly member Jin Jong-oh held a press conference today calling for the entire leadership of the KFA to resign and demanding a full investigation into the appointment process of head coach Hong. Here's the entire translated speech. It's worth the read and also a good primer for those unfamiliar with the problems/corruption of the KFA: "To the people of Korea, football fans, and my fellow lawmakers, I can barely contain my anger. What we are feeling today goes far beyond disappointment—it is devastation. The catastrophic collapse of Korean football at this World Cup was not an accident. It was a tragedy that many saw coming. First and foremost, I want to express my deepest respect and gratitude to our national team players, who gave everything they had on the field. We will never forget your sacrifice, your effort, and your commitment to representing our nation. However, Head Coach Hong Myung-bo, who failed to deliver, and the Korea Football Association, which protected him as a shield to preserve its own power, must now face judgment without excuses. In September 2024, I warned that the appointment of Hong Myung-bo was the product of backroom deals and organized collusion. Yet the Korea Football Association ignored those warnings. It refused to cooperate fully with parliamentary investigations, withheld documents, and misled both the National Assembly and the Korean people. When football fans demanded answers, Chairman Chung Mong-gyu and the entrenched leadership of the KFA responded not with accountability, but with arrogance. They shut out the voices of the people and acted as though they were beyond criticism. Two years ago, they attempted to cover up the crisis by sacrificing a few individuals while leaving the system itself untouched. That arrogance allowed a broken structure to remain in place, and today we have witnessed the inevitable result: Korean football has become the subject of ridicule on the world stage. But let me be clear. This is not a problem that can simply be solved by the resignations of Chairman Chung Mong-gyu and Coach Hong Myung-bo alone. As Park Ji-sung and commentator Park Moon-sung have both lamented, as long as an entrenched cartel that values power over competence continues to dominate Korean football, there is no future for the sport—not even one percent. Let me repeat that. This crisis cannot be resolved through symbolic resignations. The Korea Sports Council must also accept responsibility. No one should be allowed to use the resignation of a chairman or head coach as an excuse to avoid uncovering the full truth or escaping accountability. Even if it means enduring a difficult period while preparing for next year's Asian Cup, the only path forward is the complete dismantling of the Korea Football Association's current structure and rebuilding it from the ground up. Therefore, I strongly call for the following. First, everyone under Chairman Chung Mong-gyu's leadership must immediately resign and accept full responsibility for both this disaster and the subsequent cover-up. Second, everyone involved in Hong Myung-bo's appointment must fully disclose the truth about the backroom negotiations, illegal practices, and unfair procedures that surrounded the hiring process, and cooperate without exception in a thorough and impartial investigation. Third, I call on the government and the Korea Sports Council to immediately launch a comprehensive special audit of the Korea Football Association. Everyone connected to this entrenched system of privilege and favoritism must be held fully accountable under both the law and administrative regulations. Disasters are not repeated by chance. They are repeated when corrupt systems are allowed to remain untouched. We must take Korean football back from the hands of corrupt institutions and return it to where it belongs—with the Korean people. I, too, will not back down. I will continue to fight for a full investigation without sacred cows and for genuine reform. Finally, together with the Sports Corruption Reporting Center, I will establish a dedicated Korea Football Association Corruption Reporting Center to receive reports of misconduct related to the KFA. To root out opaque administration and corruption, and to rebuild Korean football on a foundation of transparency and integrity, I ask for the courage of the Korean people and football fans to come forward with information. Thank you." 🫡🇰🇷

🚨 | 𝐇𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐆: "𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐓𝐎 𝐊𝐄𝐄𝐏 𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐎 𝐀 𝐒𝐄𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐓...𝐎𝐑 𝐌𝐘 𝐖𝐈𝐅𝐄 𝐖𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐆𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐂𝐑𝐀𝐙𝐘...🤪" I reported on this earlier but I didn't realize to this extent...😳 As any married man would know, a wife carries much influence in any decision, let alone the important ones. Apparently Hwang's wife fell absolutely in love with the city/wine after a visit last Christmas. ❤️ She said if there's a club in Porto you should move here. 🔵⚪️ When #FCPorto interest came Hwang says he could not even tell her about the Zoom interview or else she would have gone crazy! 😂 Afterwards, she pretty much sealed the deal for the club. 🐉💪 Portistas, Hwang's wife is to thank for bringing the Korean Vitinha to be a dragao! 🐉🔵⚪️ #황인범

Koreans have been enraged not just at Hong’s results, but attitude. 🥱 One thing that's drawn intense public criticism is Hong's body language. Instead of offering the customary apology bow after announcing his resignation, he walked off putting his hand in his pocket. He was then seen doing the same while talking on his phone upon arriving at Incheon Airport. Many Koreans viewed the posture as deeply disrespectful and lacking remorse. 😤 I find it interesting Korea latches onto subtle things like this. In the states, not sure anyone would have batted an eye over it. 🫡🇰🇷

Just two Koreans lads living their best lives in Mexico. All they were doing was attending fan festival for Mexico vs RSA and next thing you know they get flung into the air, handed babys, alcohol, kiss girls, get pictures taken with…treated like absolute rock stars. 😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨

🎙️ | 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐒𝐂𝐇: "𝐈 𝐓𝐎𝐋𝐃 𝐒𝐎𝐔𝐓𝐇 𝐊𝐎𝐑𝐄𝐀 𝐈'𝐋𝐋 𝐁𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐑 𝐂𝐎𝐀𝐂𝐇..." 👍 Jesse Marsch was frontrunner to be KNT head coach. He had a vision to transform the football program, culture, everything. But the KFA said no. 🤡 Meanwhile Canada showed greater hunger/desire said yes: yesterday Marsch led the nation to their first ever R16 in the World Cup. 🇨🇦 It's painful to think of the what-ifs. We had this man and just let him go. 💔😭 Damn the Chung Mong-gyu led KFA. The man deserves to go to jail for what he's done to our country. 😤
