Hong Myung-bo, coach of the South Korean national team, was eliminated from the World Cup in the group stage. The fans did not forgive him. 😔
He resigned with a statement that sounded more like a plea than a farewell: “To all the Korean people who love and support our national team, I would like to offer a sincere apology”. It was not enough. Upon returning to his country, he had to be protected by police while fans greeted him with signs against him.
The threats did not stop there. Myung-bo ended up leaving South Korea, and MBC cameras captured him trying to hide his face with a face mask and cap as he went into exile. Losing a soccer match cost him having to flee his own land. 🇰🇷⚠️
