“I just don’t like Hong Myung-bo”… Soccer fans get angry at the calm-man’s remarks | Dong-A Ilbo

Calm Man YouTube channel.
YouTuber Calm Man apologized for his gaffe regarding the appointment of Hong Myung-bo as head coach of the national soccer team, saying, “I did not intend to upset the listeners.”

On the 15th, Calm Man said on his YouTube channel, “I apologize for making you uncomfortable with my slip of the tongue.”

He explained, “I was stirring up (various fields) while saying, ‘Let’s find out regarding hot issues,’ and then I ended up talking regarding the recent situation with the Korea Football Association. I don’t know much regarding this field, but I think it got a lot of attention there.”

He continued, “I tend to think regarding it by making assumptions when approaching an issue,” and added, “There must have been a problem with the procedure, but my tone and expressions, which seemed to assume (that they simply dislike Director Hong), made it sound like (the fans) were ignorant fans who only dislike Director Hong. I admit that I was rude and apologize for that.”

On this day, during a live broadcast on AfreecaTV, the Calm Man asked, “What is the problem?” regarding the Football Association’s appointment of Coach Hong Myung-bo. “Is it because Coach Hong Myung-bo’s previous performance was not good that the appointment process is suspicious? Or is it because there were quite a few foreign coaches who were actually candidates that were expected to do better than Coach Hong Myung-bo?”

When a viewer commented, “The biggest thing is that they ignored the procedures,” Calm Man said, “Even if they ignored the procedures, if they had brought in a good coach, they wouldn’t have gone this far,” and “That’s why you don’t like Coach Hong Myung-bo. It’s because he can’t do things straightforwardly. It’s because Coach Hong Myung-bo mightn’t do it in the past, so it’s like, ‘I just don’t like him.’”

The calm man said, “I don’t think the procedure is important,” and “If (the Football Association) had brought in (EPL Manchester City manager) Pep Guardiola without even talking, there would have been no complaints.” He added, “Isn’t the complaint because of coach Hong Myung-bo? It’s because coach Hong Myung-bo didn’t do well (when he was in charge of the national team) before.”

This statement was made during a conversation with viewers on the show, but as it spread online, criticism of the calm man followed.

Regarding this, the calm man said, “Sensitive issues should be approached cautiously, and if you don’t know, you should be polite. I feel bad for soccer fans and the public,” and added, “I will continue to be careful when dealing with sensitive issues. I apologize.”

After the Korea Football Association selected former K League 1 Ulsan HD coach Hong Myung-bo as the new head coach of the national football team on the 7th, controversy arose both inside and outside the football world over the legitimacy of his appointment.

Former national team players including Park Joo-ho, who served as a member of the Korea Football Association’s Strengthening Committee, Lee Young-pyo, Lee Chun-soo, Park Ji-sung, Lee Dong-gook, and Cho Won-hee have raised issues with the Korea Football Association’s coach selection process one following another.

The civic group People’s Livelihood Countermeasures Committee (People’s Committee) reported Korea Football Association Chairman Chung Mong-gyu to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency on charges of obstruction of business, breach of trust, and intimidation.

On the same day, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism announced its intention to directly investigate the Korea Football Association. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism stated, “We have been observing the autonomy of the Korea Football Association while respecting its autonomy, but we have internally agreed that it has now reached its limit.” It added, “We will receive information on whether there were any inappropriate processes in the operation of the Korea Football Association and the selection of the national team coach, and we will ask the relevant parties to take action if there are any problems.”

Calm Man’s Apology

In his apology, Calm Man stated, “I apologize for making you uncomfortable with my slip of the tongue.” He explained that he was trying to discuss a range of “hot issues” but that his lack of knowledge regarding the Korean Football Association situation led him to make “assumptions” regarding the controversy surrounding Hong Myung-bo’s appointment.

The civic group People’s Livelihood Countermeasures Committee (People’s Committee) filed a report once morest Korea Football Association Chairman Chung Mong-gyu, alleging obstruction of business, breach of trust, and intimidation.

Adding to the pressure, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism announced that it would investigate the Korea Football Association directly, citing its concern regarding the lack of transparency and questionable processes involved in the coach selection process. In a statement, the ministry expressed that while it respects the autonomy of the Football Association, the situation has reached a point where it requires further scrutiny.
