to ridicule your own players while working for them is crazy. good riddance. don’t need those leeches around the team
THE RELATIONSHIP IS COMPLETELY BROKEN! 🇰🇷💔📰
The South Korean national team have decided to cut ties with the country’s press after an audio leaked in which several journalists mocked their captain, Son Heung-min.
The response from the team was immediate: total silence.
After the victory against Czech Republic, Son ignored all questions in the mixed zone, while the federation canceled all scheduled individual interviews.
The situation escalated so badly that the Korean Federation publicly reprimanded the media outlets covering the World Cup.
To make matters worse, the head of press for the delegation RESIGNED, taking responsibility for failing to control the journalists’ behavior.
🚨 The relationship between the South Korean national team and the media is now at its lowest point ever.
Respect your captain. Respect your players.
