Coach Hong, who has always emphasized ‘one team’, said in a press conference held during a K-League match following being appointed as the head coach of the national team, “It is true that there are many good players on the national team,” and added, “If talent is placed on dedication and sacrifice, it will display tremendous power, but if it is placed on selfishness, it will not be displayed.”

Although Coach Hong has already started his work, the controversy surrounding his appointment and criticism of the Korea Football Association are not subsiding.
Fans are left wondering why the National Team Strengthening Committee looked into foreign coaches at the last minute of the selection process and ultimately chose Coach Hong, and why Coach Hong suddenly changed his stance following seeming like he had no intention of taking charge of the national team.
Park Ji-sung, former Jeonbuk Hyundai director, and Lee Young-pyo, a commentator who played with coach Hong, are also criticizing the Korea Football Association for the process of his appointment.
As the situation grew, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism began auditing the Korea Football Association.
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism decided to look into whether there are any problems with the operation of the Korea Football Association, including the process of selecting the head coach, and whether the budget is being properly executed.
