The Red Devil


What do you think when you imagine about the World Cup? In my case, I think up the Red Devil. The Red Davil is the official supporting group of the Korean national soccer team. Red is the color of the Korean national soccer team's uniform. Another meaning of Devil is a passionate person. One of the legacies of the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup was red that became the national symbol of unity and triumph. During the 2002 World Cup, most people became Red Devil. Every street was red whether there was a game or not. Do you know a slogan of the Red Devil? It is 'Dae Han Min Kok'.'Dae Han Min Kok' is the offical name of Korea in Korean. All Koreans know this slogan, from children to old men. It was very exciting. Even though the 2002 World Cup was 7 years ago, I couldn't forget that kind of passion because of the world cup.

  1. I was in Japan for the 2002 World Cup...I remember that it was a really exciting time. Some friends of mine went to a game in Korea, but I wasn't able to go.

    Corrections: "In my case, I think of the Red Devils." "Do you know the slogan of the Red Devils?"
