[Sportschosun Lee Ji-hyun] Yoon Doo-joon of Highlight expressed disappointment after South Korea's loss to South Africa.
On the 25th, Yoon Doo-joon watched the third Group A match between South Korea and South Africa in the 2026 FIFA World Cup with fans through the YouTube channel 'OFFICIAL HIGHLIGHT'.
After South Korea fell 1-0 to South Africa and failed to secure a spot in the round of 16 on its own, Yoon Doo-joon was left speechless for a while, saying, "I can't believe it. Is this a dream?"
He added, "I didn't expect it to come to this, even during the match against the Czech Republic," and held back, saying, "I won't say what I want to say. I'm afraid I might say something wrong."
Yoon Doo-joon also said, "As a football fan, the team I passionately support and love is the South Korea national football team, but I've never seen anything like this before." He added, "I've been watching national team matches with my father since I was 5, and our standing has never been like this. It's heartbreaking."
He went on to say, "I won't compare us with other countries. We did not do well. As a fan, it hurts. This could have been an opportunity for South Korean football to take several steps forward, so it's disappointing," repeatedly expressing his regret.
Meanwhile, South Korea's World Cup team lost 1-0 to South Africa in the third Group A match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup held at Estadio Monterrey in Guadalupe, near Monterrey, Mexico, at 10 a.m. on the 18th, Korea time, after conceding the winning goal to Tapelo Maseko in the 18th minute of the second half.
