Details[]

Switzerland 1954[]

South Korea first appeared in the 1954 FIFA World Cup, as the second Asian team to ever enter the World Cup after Indonesia. Qualifying occurred in March 1954, barely one year after the end of the Korean War. Only South Korea and Japan wound up competing for the Asian spot in the Cup, and as the Koreans refused to give visas to their rivals and former colonizers, both qualifier games were held in Tokyo. With a squad that consisted entirely of army personnel, South Korea eliminated Japan with a 5–1 victory followed by a 2–2 draw.[2]

South Korea played games against Hungary and Turkey, losing 9–0 and 7–0 respectively. The South Korean goalkeeper Hong Deok-young became the goalkeeper who conceded the most goals in a single World Cup.[3]

Mexico 1986[]

South Korea started the first round of the qualification with Malaysia and Nepal. After qualifying for the knockout stage as group winners of the first round, South Korea beat Indonesia in the second round and Japan in the final round. They gained one of the two spots in Asia.

In the World Cup finals, South Korea were allocated in group A with Argentina, Bulgaria and Italy. Their first match was against Argentina, who beat South Korea 3–1 with Diego Maradona playing a major role. Park Chang-sun scored the first South Korean goal of the World Cup history in the match against Argentina. South Korea drew the second match 1–1 with Bulgaria in a downpour, and lost the last group match 3–2 to defending champions Italy.

Italy 1990[]

South Korea won the Asian qualifying competition with nine wins and two draws without a draw, showing overwhelming performances in Asia. However, they lost all three group matches against Belgium, Spain and Uruguay. Hwangbo Kwan scored a goal with a strong free kick of 114 kph 25 meters out of Spain's goalpost, giving the only comfort to them.[4]

United States 1994[]

See also: Miracle of Doha

In the final round of the Asian qualification, top two countries could advance to the 1994 FIFA World Cup, but South Korea lacked one point as compared with Japan and Saudi Arabia before the last qualifier against North Korea. South Korea couldn't qualify for the World Cup without a help of other countries. Amazingly, an Iraqi forward Jaffar Omran scored the dramatic equaliser 17 seconds before the end of the match against Japan, and their match ended in a 2–2 draw.[5] South Korea defeated North Korea 3–0 at the same time, finishing the round on the same points as Japan, but South Korea succeeded in getting a World Cup ticket with a better goal difference.[5] This result was called the "Miracle of Doha" in South Korea.[6]

In the 1994 World Cup, South Korea made competitive games with Spain and Bolivia, but they were eliminated in the group stage after losing 3–2 to Germany.

France 1998[]

South Korea's former star player Cha Bum-kun managed the national team in the 1998 FIFA World Cup. In the first half of the first match against Mexico, Ha Seok-ju scored the opening goal with a free kick, but he was sent off for an ill-advised tackle three minutes after his goal.[7] They allowed Mexico three goals in the second half, failing to defend their 1–0 lead. They lethargically lost 5–0 to the Netherlands in the following match, and Cha was fired due to two defeats.[8] The assistant Kim Pyung-seok replaced Cha, leading a 1–1 draw with Belgium.[9]

South Korea–Japan 2002[]

South Korea was one of the host nations for the 2002 FIFA World Cup tournament, along with Japan. Led by a Dutch manager Guus Hiddink and his countryman Pim Verbeek, South Korean team won their first group match against Poland, achieving their first-ever World Cup victory.[10] Afterwards, they drew 1–1 with the United States in the following match and furthermore,[11] they defeated Portugal 1–0 in the last group match.[12] South Korean team qualified for the knockout stage as the group winners.[13]

In the second round, South Korea defeated Italy 2–1 after extra time,[14] though controversial judgements like Francesco Totti's second yellow card, and an offside decision against Damiano Tommasi appeared.[15] The South Korea public then began to dream of a semi-final berth, which was attained on defeating Spain on penalties,[16] thereby surpassing the record of their North Korean counterparts 36 years before. The South Korean team's run was halted by losing 1–0 to Germany in the semi-finals.[17] They finished fourth in the tournament after losing 3–2 to Turkey in the third place playoff.[18][19]

Germany 2006[]

Jo Bonfrère led South Korea to qualify for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, but he failed to satisfy Koreans' expectation, and was replaced by Dick Advocaat.[20] Just before the World Cup, however, Advocaat contracted with a Russian club Zenit Saint Petersburg beforehand in secret, and was criticized when the truth came out.[21]

South Korea achieved their first-ever victory on foreign soil by beating Togo 2–1, and drew 1–1 with eventual finalists France, but they were eliminated in the group stage after losing 2–0 to Switzerland in the last group match.

South Korea appointed native manager for the first time in a long time. After Pim Verbeek resigned due to his stress about the result in the 2007 AFC Asian Cup,[22] Huh Jung-moo replaced him. They won their group of the qualification with seven wins and seven draws without a loss under Huh.[23]

South Korea won 2–0 against Greece, lost 4–1 to Argentina, and drew 2–2 with Nigeria in the Group B. They became the runners-up of the group with four points, qualifying for the knockout stage. They were then eliminated from the tournament after losing 2–1 to Uruguay in the round of 16.

Led by 2002 captain Hong Myung-Bo, South Korea entered their eighth consecutive World Cup finals with expectations following the 2010 qualification and a bronze medal at the 2012 Olympic Tournament.

In their opening match against Russia, Lee Keun-ho scored after an error by goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev, only for Aleksandr Kerzhakov to equalise following a goalmouth scramble. The high-scoring match that followed saw Algeria beat the Koreans 4-2. Korea outshot a 10-man Belgium side in the final game of group stage, but wound up defeated by a late goal by Jan Vertonghen.[26] The early exit lead the Korean squad to be pelted with yeot, a traditional Korean confectionery, upon arrival at Incheon,[27] and Hong to resign shortly afterwards.[28]
