[Sportschosun Jung Yu-na] Actress Son Tae-young cheered for the South Korean soccer team with her son Rook Hee, hanging up the South Korean national flag, but the match ended in defeat and left her disappointed.
On the 28th, a video titled "Son Tae-young's Family June Vlog (Dog Resort, FIFA World Cup)" was uploaded to Son Tae-young's YouTube channel.

As a sports mom, Son Tae-young showed special affection for the players, saying, "I just hope they don't get hurt. A mother can't help but feel that way." With a son who enjoys soccer as a hobby, she watched the game with a particularly attentive eye. The other mothers also cheered and sighed in response to the flow of the match, creating an atmosphere as lively as the stadium itself.
Later, Son Tae-young watched the match between South Korea and South Africa with Rook Hee, her daughter Riho, and a friend's family. The family watched until the end, alternating between sighs and cheers as the tense game unfolded, and their emotions rose and fell with the changing score.

Earlier, on the 25th, he had also expressed disappointment on his SNS, posting a brief reaction to South Korea's loss to South Africa: "Embarrassing."
Meanwhile, Son Tae-young married actor Kwon Sang-woo in 2008, and the couple has one son and one daughter. Son Tae-young currently lives in New Jersey for their children's education, while Kwon Sang-woo continues to shuttle between Korea and the United States as a long-distance father.
