The South Korean national football team is involved in a controversy at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The team's players are refusing to give interviews to the media.

What's happening?

The South Korean team recently won 2-1 against Czechia. However, despite this win, the team is refusing to give interviews to the media.

This situation has occurred due to the team's backlash against the media's criticism. In particular, Son Heung-min's exemption from military service has been criticized by the media.

Why is it important?

This situation could affect the team's performance at the World Cup. If the team's players refuse to give interviews to the media, it could lower the team's morale and affect their performance.

What comes next?

The South Korean team needs to win their next game against Mexico. However, in a situation where the team's players are refusing to give interviews to the media, it will be important to boost the team's morale. | Date | Opponent | Result | | --- | --- | --- | | June 7 | Czechia | 2-1 win | | June 12 | Mexico | -
