South Korea's early elimination from the World Cup has caused major consequences not only in terms of sport, but also in the personal life of former national team coach Hong Myung-bo.
According to international media reports, the 57-year-old has fled to the United States for security reasons, after facing a strong wave of hatred and threats following the team's failure in the group stage of the World Cup.
Hong Myung-bo has reportedly been the target of constant attacks on social media, has been refused entry to several establishments, and has even received serious death threats. It is not yet known whether his stay in the US will be permanent or temporary.
The tense atmosphere following South Korea's elimination has also taken on political dimensions. President Lee Jae-Myung described the national team's performance as "completely inexplicable" and ordered an investigation to uncover the reasons for the failure.
Although he did not directly mention the former coach, the head of state criticized the process of his appointment, implying that decision-making at the South Korean Football Association was not based solely on merit and professionalism.
The President also announced a profound reform in sports administration, emphasizing that a failure of this magnitude is unacceptable and that measures must be taken to avoid the recurrence of similar situations in the future.
Hong Myung-bo left for the US again just two days after returning to South Korea. At the airport, he denied rumors of a feud within the squad to a reporter. (MBC) pic.twitter.com/H3zIHFvKhv
