Our soccer team, which advanced to the round of 16 at the Qatar World Cup for the first time in 12 years, just landed at Incheon International Airport.
Numerous fans are flocking to the airport arrival hall to welcome the national team.
Let's go to the scene.
Reporter Park Jae-hyun, how is the atmosphere at the airport?

I am at the arrivals hall of Incheon International Airport.
The front of the F Gate, where the coaches and players of the soccer team come out, has already been very crowded with welcome crowds since two hours ago.
Flights were not available, so the players split into two planes to enter the country.
10 players, including coach Bento, head coach, and player Son Heung-min, arrived by direct flight from Doha, and 5 coaches and 14 players arrived via Dubai.
The soccer team is expected to meet the fans at this gate soon after completing immigration procedures.
Soccer fans generously encouraged the Korean national team, which showed fighting spirit against strong teams such as Brazil and Portugal.

-gu, Incheon: When the players came, everyone was cheering for them. Don't be intimidated.
After returning home individually and taking a break, tomorrow (8th) we will have a dinner with President Yoon Seok-yeol.
Coach Bento, the head coach of the national team, will return to his home country Portugal after the World Cup, and players from overseas teams such as Son Heung-min, Kim Min-jae, and Hwang Hee-chan will soon return to their teams.
The national soccer team accomplished the feat of advancing to the round of 16 on the road for the first time in 12 years at the World Cup in Qatar.
It is the third time they have reached the round of 16 after the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup and the 2010 South Africa World Cup.
