He made headlines for playing as a substitute in the first group match against Uruguay and scoring multiple goals in the second match against Ghana.
Netizens who encountered Cho Gue-sung's fashion responded in various ways, such as "I thought he was a singer KCM," "I thought he was a different person with a basic T-shirt and pants," "He looks cool," "He looks hip without a vest," and "You don't have to follow the trend."
Meanwhile,Cho Gue-sung (Jeonbuk Hyundai Motor's) will play two consecutive A matches against Colombia at Munsu Stadium in Ulsan on March 24 and Uruguay at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on March 28.
