After several recent friendly matches, South Korean media outlet KBS analyzed the current state of the national team, stating that since Hong Myung-bo's departure, the Moreno-coached South Korean team remains in disarray. Rumors of discord between the coach and players are resurfacing, and the problems within South Korean football are gradually becoming exposed, threatening to boil over at any moment.

Although Son Heung-min became the all-time leading scorer for the South Korean national team with 59 goals, the media outlet noted that at a moment when this milestone should have been fully celebrated, it is difficult to genuinely rejoice given the current atmosphere within the South Korean team.

South Korea started strong with a win against Ecuador but then suffered a heavy defeat to Uruguay, followed by a poor performance against Venezuela. Particularly during the match against Venezuela, Kim Min-jae, after being substituted, made a sudden gesture (throwing his cleats forcefully to the ground), exposing internal issues within the South Korean team.

Subsequently, Kim Min-jae missed training and was excluded from the squad list for the match against Uzbekistan. Despite Kim Min-jae's somewhat intense words and actions, the incident has presented a major challenge to the South Korean team. With the South Korean Football Association presidency vacant and an interim coach in charge, the directionless South Korean team has yet to emerge from the shadow of its World Cup failure.
