Our national team has 1 draw and 1 loss in the World Cup so far.

In fact, it can be said that it is a bit disappointing than expected, but unlike before, the voices of encouragement and support for the national team are getting louder and louder.

In particular, the enthusiasm of cheering for the younger generation is hot.



Correspondent Suh Sohn-wook pointed out the background.

The youngest, 21-year-old Lee Kang-in, dramatically joined the World Cup team due to his outstanding performance in the Spanish professional league.



Even on his World Cup debut, he goes into the game winking instead of looking nervous, and just laughs off his opponents' provocations.



Cho Kyu-seong, who is 3 years older than Lee Kang-in, did not feel intimidated even in his debut, becoming the first Korean player to score 2 goals in a World Cup match.



The situation of counting the number of cases was repeated in this World Cup, but young people of a similar age were enthusiastic about the great success of the 'MZ generation'.



[Park Yun-ho/Uijeongbu-si, Gyeonggi-do: I really enjoy watching them play hard with their own personalities and show a lot of fighting spirit.]



Unlike the past World Cup national team, which focused on defense and then aimed at counterattacks, young people are also playing against strong teams. captivated



[Eunbi Lee/Gwanak-gu, Seoul: I thought there would be nothing to see because there were so many strong teams, but there were a lot of players who were better than I thought and stood out...

Celebrities of the 'MZ generation' who led the women's soccer craze through the soccer entertainment pro 'She Who Hits the Goal' also sympathized with the national team.



[Kyungseo·Clerk/Singer (appearing in 'Goal Hitters'): The national team needs support now and will show their will to achieve something.] I think Koreans,



men and women of all ages, wish for World Cup propaganda. However, with the strong support of the young generation who enjoy the process regardless of the result, expectations for the final match against Portugal are hotter than ever.



[Kim Heon-sik/Culture Critic: Rather than prioritizing the result, we are trying to highlight those aspects of the individual rather than the process and the nation.

The level has also improved and a culture of knowing how to enjoy it has been formed.]
