On July 10, 2024, Hong Myung-bo, who was appointed as the head coach of the A team, had a 's sad farewell' with Ulsan HD. Initially, he planned to lead the home game against FC Seoul on the 13th at the request of the club. However, the last home game against Gwangju FC was held on that day. Of course, fans are disappointed to get off during the season. However, given the path Hong has taken from Ulsan, it is not enough to receive this harsh treatment.
In mid-April, Hong was asked to meet with Chung Hae-sung, the chairman of the national team's power reinforcement committee, at the height of the semifinals of the Asian Champions League, but he refused with a "text message". "It felt like I was being robbed."The saying " is true. However, the Korea Football Association failed to appoint a coach one after another. Eventually, he turned around and reached out to director Hong, and he couldn't resist it anymore. It was fate.
