When South Korean national soccer team Jung Seung-hyun scored an own goal in the match against Oman, some fans' malicious comments have penetrated family social media, causing controversy.
On the 10th local time, the South Korean national soccer team, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, won 3-1 against Oman in the second Group B match of the 2026 North-China World Cup Asian qualifying round at Sultan Qaboos Stadium in Muscat, Oman.
One run was an own goal. Just before the end of the first half, when South Korea led 1-0, an own goal was scored by hitting Jung Seung-hyun in the head in Oman's free kick situation.
After the game, online reactions criticized Jung Seung-hyun's performance, and some of them spread to malicious comments.
Some netizens even raised eyebrows by visiting his wife's SNS account on his profile instead of Jeong Seung-hyun's SNS account, which is private, and leaving malicious comments such as "Let your husband retire."
Earlier in February, Jung Seung-hyun announced a hard-line response to malicious comments directed at his family when he played as a member of the Clinsman at the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup. At the time, Jung Seung-hyun said, "Please don't make excessive slander and swear words to your family. I ask for your help."
