🚨 | 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: 𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐒 𝐀𝐓 𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐎𝐍 Hong and several players arrived at 4AM hoping to avoid protesters, but a large crowd was waiting. 🤯 Fans banged drums, chanted "Hong Myung-bo out!" & hurled curses/insults at the coach. 🫡🇰🇷

They treat this man worse than any convicted r*pist or abuser over there

Why would anyone dream of playing for or coaching the national team if this is how they’re treated?

Up before 4am and traveling out to the airport just to hate on Hong. Proper footballing nation

I have never in my life seen such animosity directed towards a Korean individual like that. They just need to get this guy outta there before he gets lynched. My goodness. 😮‍💨

This is bad. You win some you lose some. Unless there is evidence of corruption people acting like this is disgraceful.

Staying up at 4am to hate on Hong is just dedication to the hate 🤣

Shin Tae Young:

Some context for those confused 👇

This is really sad. A big contrast with Africa. African teams are celebrated for participating while S. Korea wants to kill the coach for not exceeding the group stages

Dammmnn SK is really something! You can tell the way they treat their celebrities and idols

tbh, i understand the fans are devastated and want accountability, but staying up until 4 am just to scream insults at the arrivals gate isn't it. the anger is justified but this just feels toxic 💔

Arrived at 4AM to avoid the crowd. The crowd set their alarms for 3AM. Dedication level: 100. 😂

None of the players promised nor do they owe you a cup. If it’s easy to play go on the pitch. Type of retarded country is this?

Korean society is characterised by a deeply ingrained culture of bullying and social hostility.

"is it that serious" this guy got a job through nepotism!! KFA had jesse march as top candidate, they already doing interview etc but suddenly the technical dir (lee) appointed hong just because the head of kfa (chung) wants him. there was no proper interview, lee had waited alone for a long time to do interview late at night near hong's house... thats why their president calling their out saying "when favouritism and cronyism take precedence over competence in selecting a commander, the result is as predictable as fire burning paper" bcs he's has a right especially when KFA funded by tax money

Bro they really showed up at 4 in the morning acting like South Korea was supposed to win the World Cup 😭

They arrived on some:

This is what they do to actors as well. Very toxic these people sometimes

i mean, great way to promote future footballers dreaming to play for their national football team.... NOT toxic fans, hell no

It looks excessive, but here’s why. A year ago, the KFA mocked the public and forced a "cartel" insider (Hong) as manager through a rigged process. The rage isn't just about the WC elimination; it’s about the FA's corruption leading to the worst performance in history.

fake demons, i dont see a single egg 😂😭

I think Koreans need to understand that football is a game of elimination. Also the fact that Korea qualified for the World Cup, it means they are better than other countries There’s no need to be mean to the coach and players. Also, we learn by making mistakes. .

South Koreans are such bullies. You can really see why their bullying and suicide rates are high💀

Still disappointed toffee candy wasn't thrown!!!

Bro that’s awful why would someone even try to do something for this ungrateful bullys country

This is so wrong. To treat someone with such contempt over sports. The fault lies within the KFA organization. I'd understand this behavior if it were the KFA president, but c'mon. This guy is just a patsy.

Tipical Korean hate..why Korean people hate others so much?? And when someone commits suicide, everyone is surprised...stop hate🫶

Korea is such a weird place. They love bullying

This is embarrassing… it’s soccer, and it is not that serious… bad coach, bad result. Just move on. Players had ample chances to score throughout the group stage but botched it. Everyone sucked.

Many people in replies didn't even bother to find out the actual reasons for this animosity. It's beyond a single losing match. Even I as a foreigner can understand the Korean public sentiment after learning about the corrupt KFA, and Hong Myung-bo is part of it.

Lol, their strategy failed.

Koreans are really awful individuals foreal They just have so much hate inside of them it’s crazy

And we thought North Korea was the worse of them both

It's a bit of an extreme reaction, don't you think? Unhinged.
