Lee Kyung-kyu: 'Should I run for Football Association president?' - Angry joke

South Korean broadcaster Lee Kyung-kyu has humorously suggested he might run for the presidency of the Korea Football Association, fueled by frustration over the national team's early elimination from the 2026 World Cup. In a YouTube video, Lee voiced his strong criticism of the team's performance and the administration's handling of football affairs. "How can I endure this anger for the next 7-8 months until the Asian Cup in Saudi Arabia?" he questioned, expressing his lingering dissatisfaction. Lee pointed to recurring issues, stating, "We suffered like this in 2014, and it makes no sense to experience the same thing again." He specifically cited the appointment of coach Jürgen Klinsmann as the beginning of the problems. Lee argued that the team's struggles stem from deep-seated structural issues, likening the situation to a cracked bowl that cannot be fixed. "The root should have been pulled out then, but it was not properly repaired, leading to this outcome," he lamented, calling for fundamental changes in the football association's management.
