The President of South Korea, Lee Jae-myung, reacted extremely strongly to the failure of his compatriots at the World Championship.

The Asian team in Group A competed against the Czech Republic, Mexico, and South Africa, but managed to collect only three points.

This led to an early journey home for the Koreans.

After the poor performance, the team's head coach Hong Myung-bo immediately stepped down, but that was not enough for the country's president.
