A leaked recording from South Korea’s World Cup training camp sparked outrage ahead of the team’s FIFA World Cup 2026 clash against Czechia. The audio allegedly mocked captain Son Heung-min and questioned players’ military service records during an open session in Mexico. Fans criticized the remarks as disrespectful, while broadcaster JTBC denied involvement and removed the original footage. Son has not commented publicly and remains focused on South Korea’s opening Group A match.
