The opinion that the Korean national team, led by coach Paulo Bento, was uncomfortable to play in a uniform with the Taegeukgi and Japanese flags on their chests, and that it was only customary for a friendly match, led to a national petition in relation to this.
On the afternoon of the 25th, a petition titled’Is Japanese flag on the national football uniform?
Cheong Won-in said, “While watching the national soccer match between Korea and Japan on the afternoon of the 25th, I was amazed to see the screen with the national flag and the Japanese flag on the hearts of Korean players.” It is very inconvenient to see the scene with the Japanese flag on the chest of the national team. I said I did.
He continued, “In addition to the economic war and radioactivity, in the global pandemic situation caused by corona, it is unbelievable that the national game will be expedition to Japan.” I don’t think this isn’t even when I think about Yeo-gu,” he said.
He ended the petition, saying, “I hope that the Japanese flag will never happen again on the uniform representing our country.”
Korea lost 0-3 in a friendly match against Japan held at the Nissan Stadium in Yokohama, Japan at 7:20 pm on the same day.
Amidst the evaluation of losing both manners and performance, it was the Korean flag and the Japanese flag that caught the attention of Korean soccer fans.
Although it has been customary to engrave the flags of both countries side-by-side on their uniforms in friendly matches, the Japanese national team has only a Japanese flag on the chest unlike Korea, which has increased complaints from some soccer fans.
Regarding this, an official from the Korea Football Association explained to a media that “when the national team has played friendly matches, the national flags of both countries and game information have been engraved on their uniforms all the time.” “He added.
In fact, Korea last year also engraved the flags of the opposing teams, such as Mexico and Qatar, alongside the Taegeukgi, while Japan only wore the Japanese flag on their European expedition at the same time.
