Fourth as hosts at the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan (including a resounding referee assist against Spain in the quarterfinals), South Korea has already shown at Russia 2018 that it is capable of surprises: it did not get past the first stage, but eliminated the then world champions Germany by beating them 2-0.
