South Korea, the "Taegeuk Tigers," suffered a crushing 0-5 defeat to Brazil in a friendly match at the Seoul World Cup Stadium, conceding goals in both halves. South Korea captain Son Heung-min acknowledged that conceding goals due to errors is something the team must improve, but praised his teammates' fighting spirit and commitment.

In the 13th minute, Guimarães assisted Estevan Willian to score, giving Brazil a 1-0 lead. In the 41st minute, Rodrigo took a pass from Casemiro, shook off the defense, and shot in, helping Brazil continue to lead South Korea 2-0.

Shortly after the start of the second half, Kim Min-jae was intercepted while receiving a pass from a teammate, and Estevan Willian scored a lob to extend Brazil's lead to 3-0. In the 49th minute, Vinicius assisted Rodrigo to score, making the score 4-0.

In the 77th minute, Vinicius also scored, extending Brazil's lead to 5-0. South Korea ultimately lost to Brazil 0-5 at home.

South Korean star Son Heung-min said, "Of course, conceding goals due to mistakes is something that needs improvement. But I think the team's attitude and commitment are very good. We must make up for those shortcomings, and against a world-class team, even a small mistake on our part could cause serious damage, so I hope this game can be an opportunity to learn."

“I hope the players who have tried their best don’t lose confidence because of the result. I hope everyone doesn’t get discouraged because instead of thinking we are learning from a strong team and growing from the encounter, I am worried that they will feel that they were defeated or did something wrong.”

It is worth mentioning that the 33-year-old Son Heung-min has become the player with the most appearances for the South Korean national team with 137 appearances.

Son Heung-min said, "Being able to play so many games is not entirely my own achievement, but the result of help from many people around me. I can get to this position because of their support. And the elders who have always contributed to the team and given encouragement have also made me who I am today, and I also want to thank the fans for their support."

"I don't consider myself a Korean legend yet because I still have a lot to accomplish. My goal and dream is to keep giving my all until one day, everyone can truly say that about me."
