Korean Victim of Stadium Taunting Officially Invited by FIFA

[Anchor] First, we have news that a Korean influencer who was subjected to racism at a World Cup stadium has received an official invitation from FIFA.

[Reporter] Yes, FIFA has stepped in directly to deliver a message against hate and discrimination.

FIFA announced that it has officially invited the Korean influencer, known as A, to the match between South Korea and Mexico, which will take place in Guadalajara, Mexico, tomorrow, June 19.

Explaining the background of the invitation, FIFA stated that since the day of the match marks the "International Day for Countering Hate Speech," they intend to work with A to convey a message of respect and inclusion to the world from the stadium.

Previously, A suffered racial discrimination during the match between South Korea and the Czech Republic when a Mexican man made a "slant-eye" gesture toward them. The video of the incident spread rapidly on social media, sparking widespread criticism.

As the controversy grew, the man eventually issued a public apology and stepped down from his position as the head of an association.

FIFA also stated that it has blocked the perpetrator's World Cup ticketing account and strongly condemns all forms of racism and hate speech.
