Korean Reporter Is Praised For Consoling Son Heung Min After Korea’s Defeat To Brazil
A Korean reporter who interviewed Son Heung Min after Korea’s defeat to Brazil is going viral for all the right reasons.
On December 6, Korea was defeated by Brazil 4-1, eliminating them from the 2022 Qatar World Cup. Despite the Korean National Team’s best effort, the Brazilian squad was just too much for the team to overcome.
After their defeat, Son Heung Min was interviewed by a reporter. During the interview, Son Heung Min was apologetic about the team’s performance.
I am so very apologetic to the nation’s football fans and our citizens, but I’d like to say that our players gave their best.
— Son Heung Min
To this, the reporter ensured Son Heung Min that the nation knew full well that the National Team did their best. The reporter then stated that the player had nothing to apologize for and hoped the team would be proud of what the team had accomplished.
The whole nation knows this and would like you to be proud instead of apologetic. Many (in Korea) have said that there is nothing for you to apologize for, and (we) hope you are proud. You know this, right?
— Reporter
The interview then ended the interview by telling Son Heung Min how much the National Team’s efforts have meant for the whole nation.
We are so proud of you. Thank you.
— Reporter
Netizens praised the reporter and thanked him for relaying the nation’s sentiments toward the Korean National Team.
- “Thank you, Mr. Reporter. Son Heung Min shouldn’t apologize. Thank you so much, and we are so proud of you.”
- “MBC is killing it these days! I hope (Son Heung Min) got the message of how proud we are of him.”
