Singer Park Ki-young slams South Korean football system after World Cup exit

South Korean singer Park Ki-young has voiced strong criticism of the national football team's performance and the underlying system after their World Cup group stage exit. Expressing deep disappointment, she questioned the quality of play, stating, "Is this even soccer?"

Park lamented that the team's struggles had exposed internal issues on a global scale. "At the time, I didn't understand the praise for him who showed typical anger management issues, but in the end, our family's business became known to the world," she wrote on social media, referencing past controversies without naming individuals.

She also expressed envy towards Japan's football development. "I envy Japan," Park stated, adding a comment about commentator Park Ji-sung, though the full context was cut off in the provided text. Her remarks highlight a broader frustration with the state of South Korean football, suggesting a need for systemic reform rather than just focusing on individual players or past glories.
