Unfazed by Pyongyang’s threat to turn their city into a “sea of flame”, an estimated 1,000 South Koreans gathered in Seoul Monday to cheer on the North Korean team in their crucial World Cup match.
“Oh Peace, Korea” was the theme of the event, organised by the Bong Eun Sa Buddhist temple in southern Seoul along with a welfare group and a local radio station.
Undeterred, a crowd gathered as darkness fell to watch the North Korea-Portugal clash on a giant screen in the temple parking lot, or on 30 TV screens inside.
“One Korea!” they yelled, holding tickets reading “Viva one Korea, reds run together” in reference to the red strip which both teams sport.
