Hong said he will still support Korean football, even though he is leaving his job. He hopes the team will be loved and trusted again.

Fans did not have faith in Hong and started a petition to remove him and change the national team. The petition said the team's selection process was not fair.

Hong was under a lot of pressure.

Despite having a strong team, South Korea only won one game and lost two, coming in third in their group.

The team's performance against South Africa was very bad and could be one of the worst in Korean World Cup history.

South Korea lost to South Africa and Mexico.

Hong was not liked by many people in South Korea, and some shops and restaurants did not want him to come in. President Lee was also very disappointed.

President Lee said that when the wrong person is chosen as a leader, the result is always bad. He thinks this is what happened with Hong.

This was Hong's second time as the national team's coach. He was chosen again in 2024, but some people thought it was not fair and that he was given the job because of who he knew.
