South Korea Parliament Questions Coach Over World Cup Exit
The former coach of the South Korean national football team, Hong Myung-bo, was interrogated by the Korean parliament after failing to advance past the group stage in the 2026 World Cup, during which he admitted to bearing full responsibility for the failure. The Korean team exited the tournament following a surprising 1-0 loss to South Africa, and the coach faced harsh criticism for his decision to keep Son Heung-min on the bench in the decisive match. The parliament accused him of preferential treatment and of being appointed through non-transparent means, with debates surrounding his high salary—Hong denied the accuracy of those figures but acknowledged that he was responsible for the team's results. These events occurred amid high hopes placed on the team's "golden generation."
