Meet the Stunning FIFA World Cup Fans Putting the ‘Beautiful’ in “Beautiful Game”

South Korea

No, South Korea isn’t just about K-Pop music. They also happen to be very passionate about soccer, especially if their star player—the Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min—is involved. Qualified for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, the South Korean national team was also present in the 2014 and 2018 editions of the tournament.

They failed to qualify past the group stage on both occasions, but it’s not like their beautiful fans even cared! In 2002, South Korea hosted the FIFA World Cup alongside Japan and ended in fourth place (their best classification of all time). Their success helped to turn soccer into South Korea’s favorite sport.
