was eliminated after reaching the semifinals of this Asian Cup.
The last time Korean soccer won the Asian Cup was in the second edition held in 1960.

the most among the Korean national team, along with Son Heung-min (Tottenham).
Lee Kang-in, who returned to his team Paris Saint-Germain (PSG),
is expected to rest until next week before returning to the game.
PSG coach Luis Enrique said at a press conference held on the 9th (local time) ahead of the match against Lille in the 21st round of the French Ligue 1,
“Lee Kang-in has received leave according to the coach’s instructions after completing a long journey of intensive competition.”
After the Asian Cup ended, Korean national team players are sending apology messages on social media.
Son Heung-min said, “I wasn’t good enough as a captain.
I think I wasn’t able to lead the team well” and added,
“I was very proud to be a Korean soccer player because you gave me so much love and support even in this situation.
I am grateful and sorry.”
Kim Min-jae also said, “We didn’t get the results everyone wanted.
I’m sorry for not being able to show a good performance as much as the fans supported us”
