While South Korean national soccer team forward Hwang Eui-jo has been under fire recently for allegedly taking illegal photos, Lee Kang-in has also been criticized.

Lee posted the photo on social media after South Korea's last A-match of the year, the 2026 North and Central American World Cup Asia Region 2 qualifier against Singapore and China, on March 23.

"The 2023 national soccer team matches are over, and thanks to the support of our fans, we were able to perform well in Seoul and far away in China," Lee wrote.

Lee also posted a photo of the Korean team celebrating in Singapore, along with a message to Korean soccer fans. 토토”

Of course, it's not all criticism. There are also many people who don't see a problem with the inclusion of Hwang Ui-jo in the photo because it's a photo of the South Korean national soccer team celebrating.

This photo was problematic. It included Hwang Ui-jo. Lee's post was met with calls for the photo to be replaced.

This is because Hwang Ui-jo, who scored a goal against Singapore, is in a group photo of the South Korean national soccer team, and Lee Kang-in shouldn't be criticized for posting it.

In fact, Lee Kang-in only posted a group photo of the Korean national soccer team and did not mention Hwang Ui-jo directly in the controversial social media post.
