In 2026, the entire nation of South Korea was enraged by the national team manager, Hong Myung-bo. Citizens hurled insults at Hong Myung-bo and Chung Mong-gyu, and at the time, everyone cursed Korean football. It went as far as banning Hong Myung-bo from certain areas and even death threats, but he fled to the U.S. without an apology. During the group stage match against South Africa, the team failed to record a single shot on target and kept losing, leaving the public deeply disappointed. Now, four years later, with 200 days left until the 2030 World Cup, news breaks that a new manager is arriving. Initially, people were indifferent, assuming they would just lose again, but interest grew as it was revealed the new manager is world-renowned. Since this is the final World Cup for Korea's star, Son Heung-min, everyone is secretly harboring high expectations due to the manager's international reputation.
