According to South Korean media, during the match between South Korea and Uruguay, South Korean defender Kim Min-jae closed his eyes on the bench after being substituted and did not watch the game.

Reports indicate that after being subbed off, Kim Min-jae sat on the bench and closed his eyes. This is not a typical reaction for a player on the bench during a match.

This behavior is in stark contrast to his reaction during the World Cup match against South Africa when he was substituted right before a major collapse. In that game, Kim Min-jae was replaced by Park Jin-seob in the 20th minute of the second half, with the team trailing 0-1, and he made angry gestures with outstretched arms towards the coaching staff. After the match, he explained the situation, saying, "There were some things that weren't going well in the game. I told the coaching staff that substitutions were needed or something like that."
