Korean newspapers congratulate coach Kim Sang Sik on following in Park's footsteps with the Vietnamese team - winning the ASEAN Cup, in the context of his coaching career failing in his home country.
Sharing the joy with coach Kim Sang Sik and his team as they were crowned champions at the 2024 ASEAN Cup , after defeating Thailand with a total score of 5-3 (2-1 first leg and 3-2 second leg), the Korean media continuously updated information, from the developments on the field in the rematch in Bangkok, the emotions of the coach, the Vietnamese players to the fans at home pouring into the streets to celebrate the red championship.

Yonhap News found that Vietnamese football in general and the Vietnam National Team in particular are a very good match for the Korean coach.
Specifically, this newspaper pointed out that after coach Park Hang Seo, it was captain Kim Sang Sik's turn to lead the Vietnamese team to save his declining coaching career in his home country.
“ Mr. Park Hang Seo and the Vietnamese team won the championship in 2018 and Coach Kim Sang Sik won the ASEAN Cup 2024 with the team. They have many things in common: Both had declining careers in their home countries and 'changed their fortunes' when they took charge of the Vietnamese team.
Another thing these two coaches have in common is quickly bringing the Vietnamese team back to the top position in Southeast Asia. The time it took for coach Kim Sang Sik to bring success to the Golden Star Warriors at the ASEAN Cup 2024 was even faster than coach Park. He was appointed in May 2023, meaning he and the Vietnamese team rose to number 1 in the region in just 8 months.

Meanwhile, Mr. Park came to Vietnam in September 2017 and won the championship with the team in November 2018. But before that, he had made a big splash with U23 Vietnam in the Asian tournament, as well as reaching the semi-finals of ASIAD 18…”.
According to Yonhap News, both Coach Park Hang Seo and Kim Sang Sik have won over their students in the Vietnamese national team with their sincerity and friendliness.
Meanwhile, SPOTV News assessed that coach Kim Sang Sik had a historic night with the Vietnamese team in Thailand - their number 1 opponent in regional football.
“ The joy of winning the ASEAN Cup 2024 becomes even more valuable because the victory came to the Vietnamese team after many hardships and challenges in the second leg final against Thailand.
The Vietnamese team has been crowned Southeast Asian football champions for the first time since 2018, after losing to Thailand in the past 4 years – in the semi-finals of the 2020 tournament and in the finals of 2022. Therefore, the joy of winning the cup on Thai soil is multiplied… ”.

My Daily praised the impressive performance of the Vietnamese team at the ASEAN Cup 2024: “ The team won the championship with an unbeaten record, with 7 wins and 1 draw. The joy of the Vietnamese team was truly complete, because they defeated their rival Thailand in both final matches.
Coach Kim Sang Sik was honored with his first title with the Vietnamese team, after taking office 8 months ago. He raised his position with the achievement of ASEAN Cup 2024 - the number 1 playground of Southeast Asian football.
The 48-year-old coach did not have a smooth start, losing in his debut match, then continuing to lose to Thailand in a friendly, drawing with India,... but he showed his worth in the official major tournament, helping the Vietnamese team achieve worthy results .
