Snapped this screenshot at the end of the South Korea – Czechia World Cup match. A figure of 3,843,047 viewers means 7.4% of the population of 51.6 million was watching the game on Naver, never mind all the folks watching on TV at home or in a business.

      I think the game being on during business hours really change the fact that most people would be watching on their personal devices mid work instead of on a TV in a home or at a bar

    2. Ten people in my lab were watching from one screen so the actual figure would probably be a lot larger, given that most people are either at work or school already

      Sonny is not reliable anymore and past his prime. SK can’t rely on him anymore. Good that he was benched out and there are options.

    4. I’m pulling for Korea! I’m American but love dakgalbi and makgeoli so naturally I’ll root for Korea

      Imagine Czechia playing Arsenal set piece terrorist football within first minute of the game and bites them in the ass.

      Some of the conference rooms at my office were booked from 11:00AM to 1:00PM for the football match.

      Could hear people shouting in some of the hallways.

      Company also set up a viewing area on one of the upper floors for people to enjoy.

      Was a great atmosphere today.

      Most people were watching in someway

    7. I think this number is low. I bet most people took the day off. there was no traffic on the roads during rush hour and the businesses that were showing the game were packed. there were also big watch public watch parties. so i’m not sure how they were able to calculate the viewership, especially with people at the watch parties sharing a single stream.

    8. I’m thinking they’ll be days off if they make it to the knockout stage of 16, maybe not 32. Seems like something the government would do. They are a long way from that, though. Still have to take care of business. I wish they played SAFA before Mexico and have that be a victory to take the pressure off the Mexico game.

      Don’t forget the people watching in front of giant screens in Yeioido and Gwanghwamun
