Oh Hyeon-gyu's diary had his dreams from four years ago. He participated in the 2022 Qatar World Cup as a standby player for the South Korea national team. That experience helped Oh Hyeon-gyu a lot. Oh Hyeon-gyu appeared on tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' and revealed his diary. He said, 'Today, every player wore a uniform and took a group photo. But my uniform did not have a number.' He also said, 'To be honest, I felt embarrassed and upset.' But he encouraged himself, saying, 'I only need to get through today. Prepare for the next four years and come back proudly wearing a squad number. You can do it, Hyeon-gyu. This is the beginning.' Oh Hyeon-gyu's diary has now become reality. He scored the winning goal against the Czech Republic. This led to South Korea's first win in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
