As Korea dramatically advanced to the round of 16, among the expedition cheering squad that went to Qatar, there were people who had to urgently change their return schedule or find a new accommodation in order to stay longer in Qatar.

From now on, let's take a look at the facial expressions of our cheerleaders, who are preparing miracles with the national team in Qatar and again in Korea.

First, let's go to Qatar.



Reporter Kim Hye-min, there is still time before the game. Where are our cheering squad preparing?



<Reporter>



Yes, where I am now, Qatar is a large-scale accommodation built for the World Cup cheering squad.



Football fans from all over the world gather here.



Of course, there are also Korean fans.



Let's talk directly.



[Cheon Myeong-gi/Korean cheering squad: (It wasn't easy to watch the round of 16?) Actually, I was originally scheduled to return to Korea today (5th), but I changed my flight ticket by adding 500,000 won.

And it was very difficult to get a ticket, but I barely applied for it yesterday through the Red Devils, got an assignment, and now I can cheer at the stadium.]



[Cheon Myeong-gi/Korean cheering squad: (I think it will be a very valuable match. Cheering today Will you work hard?) Yes.

Athletes, show your fighting spirit on the pitch.

We will cheer for you both inside and outside the stadium.

The important thing is an unbreakable heart.

Republic of Korea.

Fighting!]

Like the story I just said, it's fortunate that people who managed to get plane tickets or admission tickets are lucky, but there are many cases where that's not the case.

A lot of Korean fans who stayed here have already returned to Korea, and now only a few remain.



In fact, it was not easy to predict advancing to the round of 16, and besides, each of them had their own academic or livelihoods.



Another problem is that the price of extending the stay or changing the ticket is very expensive here.



There is another big problem.



Tickets for this stadium are now impossible to buy at all.



The reason is that Brazilian fans predicted the advance to the round of 16 early and bought tickets in large quantities.



But Korean fans couldn't buy that many.



That's why there are quite a few Koreans who can't go to the game despite staying here.



There are resale sites.



There were also some fans who went in all day and looked at the site to get tickets.



Still, I believe in the potential of our Red Devils.



I look forward to cheering hard for the players who give their best regardless of victory or defeat.
