YouTuber and webtoon writer Calm Man eventually apologized after being embroiled in controversy over the appointment of the national soccer team coach.

On the appointment of Hong Myung-bo of the Korea Football Association (KFA) during a live broadcast on his YouTube channel on the 15th, Calmman said, `Is the appointment process suspicious because Hong Myung-bo's previous appearance was not good. Is it because there were quite a few foreign directors who were actually in the candidate group expected to do better than Hong Myung-bo?"

When one viewer commented that "The biggest thing was to ignore the procedure", Calm Man replied "Even if he ignored the procedure, if he had brought a good director, wouldn't he have done this much?" That's why I don't like director Hong Myung-bo. Because I can't be straightforward. Director Hong Myung-bo asked back, "'I just don't like it' because he couldn't do it before."



Then "I don't think the procedure is important. Wouldn't there have been no complaints if he brought Pep Guardiola (the EPL Manchester City coach) without talking about it. Isn't it because Hong Myung-bo is the coach. Coach Hong Myung-bo (when he was in charge of the national team) was not good enough.

After a series of criticism from subscribers over this, Calmman turned on the live broadcast again and expressed his apology. He "I apologize for making you uncomfortable by making a mistake during the day. When approaching an issue, I have a habit of organizing my thoughts by throwing away assumptions and cutting things that are not. There is an accumulated history (in relation to the matter), and the problem was the tone and expression of ignoring things related to such procedures."



He went on to say, "It was a way of speaking that made football fans ignorant fans, and it was not polite"The more I don't know, the more I thought I should be careful and polite." I'll be careful with my expressions, etc. from now on" he said.
