Actor Ryu Seung-ryong left an angry comment to Anthony Taylor, the referee of the Korea vs. Ghana match at the '2022 Qatar World Cup', and then deleted it.



Ryu Seung-ryong left three octopus-shaped emoticons as comments on Anthony Taylor's social media post on the 29th.

It was interpreted as a comment that compared the appearance of the referee with a shaved hairstyle.



After the game, many netizens posted comments expressing protest and anger on the referee's social media, but Ryu Seung-ryong's comment, which compared his appearance with an emoticon, was thought to be careless.

After a while, Ryu Seung-ryong deleted the comment with the octopus emoticon and left another comment saying, "Sorry. I deleted it right away. My thoughts were short."



The Korean national team previously lost to Ghana 2-3 in the second round of Group H of the 2022 Qatar World Cup group stage held at the Education City Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar at 10:00 pm (Korean time) on the 28th.



At the end of the game, the Korean national team had a corner kick opportunity, but referee Anthony Taylor stopped the game.

This led to protests from players and coaches.

Referee Taylor gave Bento a red card for vehemently protesting after entering the field.
