Cho Gue-Sung, the South Korean striker who received thousands of marriage proposals for his goals in Qatar 2022

South Korea has been the protagonist of one of the many surprises that Qatar 2022 is leaving. The team led by Paulo Bento beat Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal 2-1 and entered the top 16 in the World Cup, leaving Uruguay out. Precisely, the results achieved by the national team have caused ecstasy among the fans of the national team.

But, the case of Cho Gue-Sung deserves a separate paragraph. The ‘Asian Tigers’ striker has captured the attention of women in his country. According to the local press, the footballer received thousands of messages to the mailboxes of his social networks and the majority with marriage proposals. Certainly crazy.

Then, the South Korean media pointed out that the author of two goals against Ghana had to turn off his cell phone due to the reaction he provoked among the women. Of course, the 24-year-old attacker could not avoid the reception in his profiles, since he went from 20,000 followers to a figure that has exceeded 2 million fans.

As if that were not enough, the name of Cho Gue-Sung crossed the sports pages at home. And it is that there was a version in the newspapers about a love affair with the South Korean model Ji Min Joo. Immediately, she came out to deny the rumor, although it was too late because everyone was commenting on the alleged link.

Who is Cho Gue Sung?

The gunner began his career at Gwangju University and then signed for Anyang, from the South Korean Second Division. His outstanding performance allowed him to move into the ranks of Jeonbuk. But, he was loaned to Gimcheon Sangmu, another promotion club. This experience coincided with the duty to comply with compulsory military service.

Regardless, the player shone and returned to Jeonbuk to play in the top division. At the same time, the coach Paulo Bento trusted him and took him to play the qualifying round for the current World Cup. Now, he is the top scorer for his team with two goals in Qatar 2022.

Brazil and South Korea will face each other on Monday, December 5, in the round of 16 of the Qatar 2022 World Cup. The match will begin at 2 in the afternoon (Peruvian time) and will take place at stadium 974.
