The Korean Football Federation sued the person who spread false information about coach Park Hang Seo.

(Dan Tri) - The Korea Football Association (KFA) officially sued individuals who spread fake news related to coach Park Hang Seo and the country's national team.

Today (October 23), the Korea Football Association (KFA) filed a petition with the Seoul Central District Court, launching a campaign to “clean up” fake news related to Korean football. According to KFA, recently there has been a lot of information related to Coach Park Hang Seo leading the Korean national team or FIFA will discipline the KFA.

This fabricated information has caused the wave of criticism directed towards KFA President Chung Mong Gyu and head coach Hong Myung Bo to increase day by day.

“We cannot continue to ignore the deliberate distortion of the truth and the defamation of KFA members,” said Kim Yun Ju, head of the KFA’s legal department. “Our goal in filing the lawsuit is to regain the trust of fans and clean up the Korean football environment.”

According to Korean media, many Youtube, TikTok or X channels (formerly known as Twitter) regularly post sensational, untrue content to attract views. Most of these channels produce and use AI voices and edited images to create “hot” news.

Although the KFA has repeatedly warned, this situation continues to increase, especially during the third qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup.

Coach Park Hang Seo is currently the Vice President of the KFA in charge of supporting the national team. After leaving the Vietnam team, the Korean coach has not yet taken up a coaching position at any team.

In recent times, the Thai and Indonesian media have been speculating that Coach Park Hang Seo is a candidate to lead the national team. However, while Thailand has appointed Coach Anthony Hudson, Indonesia is said to want to appoint a coach from Europe to work with its naturalized stars.
