Two headed goals at Qatar 2022 were enough for Cho Gue-sung to go from being an almost unknown striker to becoming the most unexpected phenomenon of that World Cup. In a matter of days, he jumped from fewer than 35,000 followers on Instagram to more than a million and had to turn off his phone because the marriage proposals would not stop. 😅
The 28-year-old FC Midtjylland striker from Denmark not only conquered social media: he made it onto the cover of Vogue and earned the title of world football’s sex symbol. Today, at the 2026 World Cup, he already made his debut on June 11 against Czechia at Estadio Guadalajara, and the frenzy returned from the very first minute. 🏟️
South Korea has Son Heung-min as captain in his last World Cup, but in social media trends Cho Gue-sung is in charge. Sometimes a headed brace changes a career forever. 🌍
