The South Korea national football team's coach Hong Myung-bo has quit and is embroiled in controversy over the team's drinking and dancing with local women after their World Cup elimination. Hong Myung-bo and some of the team's staff and players were found to have enjoyed drinking and dancing with local women on the night before their return to Korea after being eliminated from the World Cup in Brazil. The party included tables with bottles of liquor, and local women singing and dancing with the team's staff and players. Hong Myung-bo explained at a press conference on the 10th that he had wanted to comfort the young players who were deeply saddened by their defeat. However, he admitted that in hindsight, he had not been cautious enough. Hong Myung-bo also revealed that he had decided to resign after the team's loss to Belgium, and that this party was his last with the team. The Korean Football Association responded that the party was an official farewell gathering after the end of the tournament, and that it had been announced in advance, so there was no particular problem.
