Kim Jong-Hun
Kim Jong-Hun fell prey to his country’s own ambitions

Only God knows whether he is actually alive or not. The ones who don’t know him, he was the head coach of the North Korea football team during the 2010 World Cup. As expected, his team didn’t do well in the World Cup and were handed a bashing by the rest of the teams in the group.

This, however, came as a shock to their then heir apparent, Kim Jong-un, who thought that his nation would win the World Cup if the coach listened to the instructions he constantly gave during the World Cup. One can only wonder why he didn’t take over the managerial hot seat himself.

In the end, Kim Jong Hun was not only sacked but was publicly humiliated by 400 people—including team members, who were forced into doing so— for several hours for his “betrayal” and losing the “ideological battle.”
