Personal headcanon regarding football factions
1. Myung-bo and the '96 liners plotted to kick Heung-min out - excluded from the South Africa starting lineup, the '96 and '01 liners proceeded with the starting lineup (it was a clear-cut starting roster)
2. If they had won, Heung-min would have been ousted. But they failed the coup due to a total disaster
3. Upon returning to Korea, they entered the country divided strictly into two factions (the first group to enter was Myung-bo and the '96/'01 liner faction; the latter was Heung-min, Jae-sung, and the non-mainstream players)
4. As Myung-bo and the KFA executives promised power, they lost their support base when the leadership was overhauled. The '96 liners are dissatisfied.
5. Heung-min's popularity rose during the friendly matches. He did not return the captaincy
6. The '96 liners' sense of crisis intensified. Their standing narrowed rapidly
7. Seeing an opportunity, they started an operation by leaking retirement rumors. Through media play, issues regarding Son Heung-min's leadership arose
8. Instead, they started getting criticized because of the retirement rumors. Panicking, they claimed the retirement was a lie. In-beom blamed the KFA while crying.
9. The '01 liners are staying quiet, but due to the table tennis incident, they are likely to side with the '96 liners. However, Lee Kang-in is maintaining neutrality because his era will come regardless of who retires.
If this story is true, it explains all the issues that have occurred so far.
