Perhaps in addition to the Korean national men's football team, the Korean media is paying the most attention to Jungkook at the Qatar World Cup in 2022. Two proud symbols of Korean culture are on Qatar soil to prepare. equipment for the 2022 World Cup.
Today, when the Korean national team was present at the venue of the 2022 World Cup opening ceremony, Jungkook was also present. All of them gave their greetings and had a very pleasant meeting.
Naturally, Jungkook then also sent the Korean players his best wishes for a successful 2022 World Cup:
Recently, Jungkook made history when he became the first Korean artist to perform at the opening stage of the World Cup. This honor also makes Jungkook the youngest artist in Asia to perform at the stadium with more than 60,000 spectators of one of the most prestigious tournaments on the planet.
Along with that, another pride of Korea is Son Heung Min and the national football team is also present in Group H of this year's World Cup 2022. South Korea is in the same group as Portugal, Uruguay and Ghana. The representative of Asia is expected to be able to make a surprise, although the opponents in this group are not easy to play.
Since the 2002 World Cup at home, it was only in 2010 that Korea had qualified for the second time in the group stage. In the last two World Cups in 2014 and 2018, this team has not been able to replicate the above results, so this is the next World Cup that Korean fans are looking forward to.
This morning, according to the schedule of FIFA 2022, the Korean national team was present at the venue where the opening ceremony was held tonight. At the same time, Jungkook also had a practice session here and met the players and the coaching staff of the Korean national team in Qatar.
Jungkook was delighted to meet his excellent compatriots and received a team jersey as a gift. Besides, he also took pictures with his special fan - South Korea national team captain - who plays as a striker for Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur - Son Heung Min.
The meeting of Jungkook and Son Heung Min made many fans excited because both BTS and this player had often supported and encouraged each other before. Even when sharing about his career as a football player and his hobbies with Volvo Korea magazine, he also affirmed that: “If you are Korean, you must listen to BTS” and said that the sound BTS's music helped him overcome the nostalgia for his hometown while competing far away.
And now, he can see and hear the song performed by BTS Jungkook at the soccer field that he has pursued throughout his career. Not only that, Jungkook also sent his best wishes to the Korean national team and even repeated this twice with the wish that the players will have a healthy and safe season.
Specifically, Jungkook said: “I hope the players don't get hurt. Our members, every citizen in our country and K are all cheering for you, so I hope you cheer up and get the results you want. I'm also performing tomorrow, and I’ll be thinking about the players while performing on stage. I will also try my best. Please don’t get hurt. Fighting! And I got one [jersey]! Yay!”
It can be seen that getting injured or having pain when playing football is inevitable. Even Son Heung Min before the Qatar 2022 finals had a serious face injury, but Jungkook still hopes the players are not hardly hurt. It is a meaningful wish for those who are participating in the 2022 World Cup final.
