Kang-in Lee strongly criticized the attitude of certain supporters of South Korea after the hoots directed against the coach Hong Myung-Bo, despite the qualification of the national team for the 2026 World Cup. After the victory without burrs against Kuwait (4-0), the 24-year-old deplored ambient hostility around the selection. “” These criticisms also affect us when they become disproportionate “He said, calling for more support.

This will help us play the World Cup better. I hope people will help us and continue to support us ». Will it be heard?
