The most memorable aspect of that particular World Cup was the various fouls committed by the South Korean team against Italy, with the referees seemingly turning a blind eye. Then, in the match against Spain, they disallowed two Spanish goals, resulting in the game being dragged into a penalty shootout, which ultimately led to Spain's elimination. I remember that football fans worldwide were outraged by this incident, and an Italian club even terminated the contract of a South Korean player involved. Some have summarized these matches as the 'black whistle' games of the World Cup, with South Korea occupying three of the top five spots. In summary, it was an unsportsmanlike victory and a disgrace.

The South Korean team seems to have a penchant for fouls. I don't enjoy watching them.

Sure, that's definitely the 2002 World Cup when South Korea made it to the quarterfinals.

The 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup changed my perception of biased refereeing.

The 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup has been firmly placed on the pillar of history's shame.

The whole world has forgotten about this, and you're the only one who remembers. South Korean players have already returned to Serie A.
