Due to the controversy over Kim Min-jae, who briefly confronted the fans, the official supporters of the Korean national soccer team, the red devil, eventually made a statement.
On the 6th, the Red Devils released a statement on social media saying there is no cheering for them to lose. The Red Devils said "After the game, Kim Min-jae came to the N-seat and 'Please cheer for us! I beg you.There was no war of words between the players and the audience, leaving a short comment ". "(The Red Devils) have played, cried and laughed for 90 minutes behind the N-seat goalposts in the stadium despite criticism and criticism that the players, who are the nature and reason for the existence of the Red Devils, should cheer for the Red Devils and the lack of fairness and common sense over the past few months," he said. "Our jeers and protests are against and jeers against the (KFA) and the coach who has abandoned his belief in himself. If we think about the players and the people of the Republic of Korea, the KFA should respond to them."
The Red Devils seemed to want to do it' drew a clear line on Kim Min-jae's remarks. The Red Mammas `From the moment the Red Devils were born to this day, I have been with the players for all the moments, and at no point did I cheer 'Hopefully'Hopefully'Hopefully'Hopefully'Hopefully'Hopefully'"I ask all Korean soccer fans to do this. Please turn the rebuke and criticism of the player into a voice of support so that he can become a better player in the future, and help him focus on the rest of the game."
Finally, the Red Devils will always be with the players anywhere, and I will think deeply about what kind of support and actions will help them break down the opponent in the future so that they can run and laugh together for 90 minutes."
Hong Myung-bo's first step was graduation. South Korea's A national team, led by head coach Hong, drew 0-0 against Palestine in the first Group B match of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup at Seoul World Cup Stadium at 8 p.m. on the 5th. Hong Myung-bo showed unstable performance from the first round, casting a dark shadow toward advancing to the finals for the 11th consecutive time. South Korea was in Group B along with Iraq, Jordan, Palestine, Oman, and Kuwait. In the third qualifying round, 18 teams will be divided into three groups of six teams and play a full league home and away. A total of six teams, ranked first and second in each group, will win tickets to the World Cup finals.
The match against Palestine was the beginning of the journey to North Korea and the U.S. and Hong Myung-bo's debut in the `Second.' Coach Hong, who left the A-team after the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, took the helm of the A-team again in July 2024 for the first time in 10 years. It was more noisy than ever before. From Hong's point of view, it was necessary to turn the tables through a cool victory. Although there was an absolute lack of preparation time, coach Hong chose stability instead of young, which was the starting keyword.
All three European leaders came forward. Joo Min-kyu (Ulsan) stands at the forefront, while Son Heung-min (Tottenham), Lee Jae-sung (Mainz), and Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain) are in the second line. Hwang In-beom and Jung Woo-young (Ulsan), who confirmed Feyenoord's transfer, were in the midfield. Seol Young-woo (Zvezda), Kim Young-kwon (Ulsan), Kim Min-jae (Björn Munich) and Hwang Moon-ki (Gangwon) made the four backs. This is Hwang Moon-ki's A-match debut. Cho Hyun-woo (Ulsan) defended the goal. Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton), Um Ji-sung (Swansea City), and Oh Se-hoon (Machida) started from the bench. Yang Min-hyuk (Gangwon), Choi Woo-jin (Incheon), Lee Han-beom (Mit Willan), and three new faces were excluded from the entry.
Hong Myung-bo showed a disappointing performance from the first game. It was a disappointing game, even if there was not enough time to prepare for a new football. The players were in poor physical condition, and there was no partial tactic to penetrate the opponent's dense defense. Only Lee Kang-in struggled. It lost a point in the first half, but it was fortunate that it was canceled due to offside. Lee Kang-in's decisive shot came up at the end of the first half, and it was regrettable that Son Heung-min's shot after beating the goalkeeper came out of the net at the end of the second half. The result was a 0-0 draw of shock.

After the game, Kim Min-jae eventually moved. Kim Min-jae approached the stands and made a gesture to the fans as if asking for restraint. In the mixed zone interview, Kim Min-jae said "I think everyone is taking it seriously, but I told you "I just want you to support the players" In fact, we didn't fail to start. There are also people who distort (my meaning) and come to my SNS and say that, and we didn't fail to start (the game)," he said.
Kim Min-jae said "I wanted to say so because I was a little disappointed in the parts that I hoped I couldn't do well and cheered for." That's why I said that, and it wasn't a serious atmosphere at all." "I hope you don't take it seriously, but it's just up to you, so for those who take it like that, you can do that."," he added. Asked if the booing affected his performance, Kim Min-jae said, `I don't want to make an excuse with that. It's not what the players think, it's just that I said it because I'm a little disappointed personally."
Son Heung-min did not shy away from fans' questions about the booing. Son Heung-min said "I'm upset. I can't speak for the fans. I think there must have been a director that the fans wanted. The players also do their best to wear the coach's clothes because the coach has already been decided. You can't change the outcome. I'm shameless, but if I think of the team as a captain, I'd like to ask for a lot of support and love." Regarding Kim Min-jae's behavior, he also delivered a message to his fans, saying, `Such a case should never come out again.' "The relationship between the fans and the players has to be good, and the fans also come to support the players because they want the team to win in this stadium. If you give a lot of good stories and encouragement to the players, they will be able to play as the driving force. I don't think we should make enemies when we play at home. I want you to think about how you can be of greater help in breaking down the opponent."
Lee Kang-in is also very sorry and very disappointed as a player representing Korea. It's very unfortunate that he started with boos, not cheers, in his first game with the coach." "I believe that the coach will make us play good soccer to beat us."(The fans) will be disappointed and angry, but I hope they will show more support and interest," he said.

Official supporter of the Korean national soccer team 'Red Devils'
The results of yesterday's game have passed, but it seems to be more controversial with other issues after the game. After the game, Kim Min-jae came to the N-seat and "Please cheer for me! Please!He went back with a brief remark ". There was no war of words between players and spectators.
In the past few months, the Red Devils have played, cried, and laughed with the players behind the N-seat goal post for 90 minutes, thinking that the Red Devils should be the best to speak up and pay attention to, and support the players, who are the nature and reason for the existence of the Red Devils.
Our jeers and protests are complaints and jeers against the association, which is consistent with lies, and the director who has lost his faith himself. If you truly think about the players and the Korean people, the association will have to respond.
From the moment the Red Devils were born to this day, I have been with the players for all the moments, and at any moment 'I hope I can't do it.'" I didn't cheer 'Hopefully lose'
I think it happened because Kim Min-jae, who desperately wanted to win, was disappointed and misunderstood. However, the method and place of expression were very disappointing.
I ask all Korean soccer fans. I would appreciate it if you could change your voice of support so that you can become a better player in the future and help me focus on the rest of the game.
The Red Devils will always be with the players wherever they go, and we will think again about what kind of support and actions can help them break down their opponents so that they can run to victory and laugh together for 90 minutes.
