Soccer fans' anger over being eliminated from the 2026 North and Central America World Cup is showing signs of overheating. On the 28th, articles and videos criticizing and mocking director Hong Myung-bo, as well as videos created with artificial intelligence (AI), are increasing rapidly in online communities and social networking services (SNS). AI videos of national team captain Son Heung-min beating Coach Hong and AI videos of Coach Hong doing a funny dance are being shared online. In particular, on Ilbe, a far-right online community, a post was posted this afternoon saying, “I will take up the gun and kill Hong Myung-bo XXX.” The author described himself as “born in 1986, 41 years old,” and “his English name is John Choi, a black-haired foreigner with American nationality.” The post has now been deleted. Coach Hong and the players are scheduled to set foot on Korean soil on the 30th of this month. However, there will be no separate homecoming ceremony, such as a disbanding ceremony.
