Son Heung-min, Hwang Hee-chan, and Kim Min-jae, the golden generation, used to shine Korean soccer, but Korean soccer is currently in crisis. After 40 years of failing to advance to the finals of the 'Paris Olympics', Park Ji-sung, Lee Young-pyo, and Ahn Jung-hwan, the main players of the 2002 World Cup, continued their remarks on the reason why Korean soccer is facing difficulties as soon as the news of Hong Myung-bo's nomination as the national team's head coach was reported.
Then I'm curious about the semi-finals of the 2002 World Cup. It's difficult now, and why was it possible then? What was coach Hiddink's must-win strategy for the World Cup? Let's follow Hiddink's decisive choice, which surprised world soccer masters beyond Korean soccer.

On this day, Hiddink, who led the 2002 World Cup semi-final myth, appeared in person and revealed episodes about the war of nerves with the Korean Football Association ahead of the 2002 World Cup, the first impression of Korean soccer, and the conflict with Ahn Jung-hwan. Ahn Jung-hwan, the main character of the Italian Golden Ball, also appeared and expressed his honest belief based on his experience as a player on why the coach's capabilities are important, saying, `Without Hiddink, there would be no myth of the semifinals.'
Dreams ★ come true. The decisive choice that created the 2002 semi-final myth will be broadcast at 9 p.m. on Thursday, the 25th.
