A South Korea player has apologised after celebrating his team's Asian Games victory, which brought military service exemption.
South Korea won the football gold medal at the Asian Games over the international break. The victory came with a significant benefit for the players: exemption from compulsory military service.
Yang Min-hyeok and his team-mates have since apologised for celebrating the win, with multiple players forced to make public apologies. The Mirror Sport reports that the controversy arose over their celebration of the military service exemption rather than the sporting achievement itself.
