The player at 0:42, Jong Tae se, was crying because he was able to play for his country despite the fact that he lives in Japan. He is extremely proud of his country and even if you are against North Korea, you gotta respect that man...

Despite being ranked 110th at the time of this tournament, and Brazil being ranked 1st, North Korea lost but only with a score of 2 - 1. They played so well, with heart and determination! And because of that they managed to get a goal. Ji Yun Nam was the scorer, and the guy crying is Jong Tae-Se!

The player who cried is a North/South Korean mix blood who was born in Japan and educated in the one and only Korean speaking school in Japan (which is North Korean school). He had the right to earn a prestigious citizenship of south korea or japan. He, however, chose North Korea, which no one would have done, in recognition of the love he received in his school. A true patriot he is. So everyone despising him, shut the f up

We can laugh at him all you want but this is pure love for your country.

テセが泣いてるの、すごく美しいシーンだよな、、、 しかも、初戦の相手がワールドカップ 最多優勝のブラジルってのがまたいいね。

Guys, he is South Korean, living in Japan, playing in North Korean team. He is crying because he had a very hard time. He wanted to be in North Korean team, but because he was South Korean and living in Japan, he had many mentally hard problems with his soccer teammates. And after all those problems, he is standing in the World cup playing in North Korean team. That is what makes him cry.

"wow they're so brainwashed into their national anthem that's scary" says the Americans lmao

This was such an emotional moment. All those players must have felt so proud representing their country on the world stage.

If It was me playing at the World Cup and singing my National Anthem, I would cry as well out of all the emotions...Respect To this man! A true player with true passion!

素直にワールドカップ出れて良かったんじゃない。スポーツですから。

鄭大世が泣いているところを見ると胸がジーンとくる＼(^_^)(^_^)／日本においてこのシーンは後世に残してもいい。国関係なく大好き

I 'm J league fan . Over 90% of Japanese dislike DPRK, but I have never seen that J league fan dislikes Jong Tese(who 0:42). He can speak Japanese well and He has given Japanese young players a lot of advice.

If you read into this player life story you'll find out that despite him being north korean he was raised in japan and because of that it was very hard for him to obtain the permission by the north korean government to represent his country. I believe if you add that to the emotion of debuting in the biggest sports event in the world that probably explains why he was so emotional : )

このシーンはすごく覚えてる

Communist states have such awesome anthems (by tune). USSR, North Korea, East Germany...

Desejo um futuro repleto de amor e paz ao povo Norte Coreanos...Um abraço do Brasil!🇧🇷

If I was able to represent my country at a world cup. I would probably cry too😭😭😭

people criticise these guys for being unnaturally overzealous, but this was a beautiful rendition to me. one player crying, understandably overwhelmed and emotional, while the rest sang with passion and pride. we get so caught up in the media attention that we forget North Koreans are humans like everyone else!

What a phenomenal and emotional moment in football history. People in the West won't ever acknowledge how wonderful this moment is for the beautiful comrades of the DPRK, but we will ✊🇰🇵

I wonder how did the North Korean supporters got out of the country to go to the world cup

1:07 is the bit that get's me. You can tell he is really feeling the emotion and proud to be standing up there, for North Korea, against Brazil. Really nice anthem. Massive respect to Jong Tae Se and Ji Yun Nam who scored the goal for DPR Korea. Respect to all of the N.Korea players for playing out of pure pride and passion for their country.

No politics on the football field.

North Korea may be stupid or ignorance but their anthem was one of the best! Way better than the South Korean ones

It is rude to show such disrespect to a countries national anthem, no matter what the country is. I do not like the actions of the north korean government, but a national anthem and a flag of a country doesn't represent the current government of that country, but that country in general regardless of its current ruler. Because of this, insulting a countries anthem means insulting its people, not just its ruler. You should never insult a countries flag or anthem like this ,even when you are at war with them.

0:45 born and raised in japan and he has southkorean nationality

thats a man...forget politics...love for your country is always worth crying for ..

those tears flow from a man who is living his dream

beautiful anthem

Peace in the Korean peninsula

Man this anthem is amazing! And those are some very loyal athletes!

DPRK National Anthem is one of the best in the world. A great nation, great people.

“Give me freedom :(“

Incredibly brave men. I really hope they’re all doing ok in NK

Wow I love football only this great sport brings this amount of emotion nothing like hearing your anthem in a stadium full of people ❤... can't wait for football to return!!! ⚽️⚽️❤❤

I'm from Indonesia. They may not be as good as Indonesia but they can still qualify for World Cup twice (even defeating Italy in 1966). Indonesia has only the chance once they were colony of the Netherlands (not yet an independent country) and our country is still struggle to improve our football which have been in mess for years and qualify for World Cup (even by bidding for host).

Congratulations for your national holiday today Northern Corea from your friends in Germany

great patriots crying....

Great anthem, great moment.

joon tae se, a player and person loved in both the north and south, born to korean immigrants in japan. he represents a better and more unidifed asia for the future to me

You can hear the pride in their voices when they say Joseon.

Respect and salute the brave fighters against imperialism!

I would cry too if i was getting a chance to represent my country in the fifa world cup.. Go USA.. Even though i know we arent the best or anywhere near that but we still have the biggest heart..

Only the DPRK Anthem is my Favourite! Not the NK Government

Better than God save the queen.....

He said: 'I'm impressed to be able to fight the best team in the world at the World Cup. So I shed tears.

This is one of the most emotional and powerful moments I have ever seen in sport history. The sheer love these men have for their country is so pure and phenomenal. Long live the DPRK, and long live the comradery of football!

0:43 鄭はこの時一つの感情を出した それは夢が叶ったからだ

俺は鄭大世の涙を笑わない

@Peqenhin19 de acuerdo contigo. sin auno como aficionado se le pone la piel de gallina al escuchar su himno nacional de su pais. ahora me imagino como no se les ha de poner ha los jugadores de estar alli en este gran evento y cantar con mucho honor, orgullo, y amor el himno nacional de su pais.

북한이라는 국가와 체제는 반감이 크지만, 정대세의 눈물을 보면 축구선수가 국가를 대표해 월드컵에 나선다는 게 얼마나 감격스럽고 영광스러운 일인지 잘 보여주는 예시라고 생각합니다.

@kelvinjiro He's playing in Germany now. Back at the worldcup there was only one other player of NK playing outside of NK, he played in Russia (Rostov, if I'm not wrong).

Now that crying guy appeared at the Physical 100 season 2

I fucking hate the fact that I think this anthem is one of the best ones.

Give me freedom... Give me freedom...

I doubt the North Korean people were even allowed to watch the game.

Greetings from Serbia! Serbia, Russia and Greece support North Korea!

to hear your anthem in another country is beautiful

この動画で鄭大世がW杯に対する思いを語っています。彼は金正恩のためでもなく国のためでもなく1人のサッカー選手としてW杯という舞台に立てたことが嬉しくて涙を流しています。彼はW杯での時間を『夢のような時間だった』と語っています。もちろん鄭大世はW杯後には北朝鮮ではなく日本へ帰国してサッカー選手を続けています。そして最近彼はサッカー選手を引退しました。今では日本語でサッカーの解説をしています。鄭大世が日本サッカーに貢献していることを1人の日本人として嬉しく思います。 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iZuldrNqmsfZeWQ.html

You cant disagree that north korea national anthem is so freaking good

First of all, I like their national anthem. Second of all, for those who have made fun of this should be ashamed of themselves... 0:40 here is a guy who is showing love for his country. Also, as far as the whole fans is concerned, you should be ashamed these are people who are lucky to even get out of their country for an event like this without being caught. You should be happy for those who made it because believe me, there would be no one because of the strict rules. Are they vicious, yes (government wise) are they radical yes t at the end of the day no matter what the leaders believe, that does not mean that everybody living in the country supports their philosophy. And also, bring back the vuvuzela great culture taken away

That's called the sincere love for his country

im a south korean and the day that north and south reunite will be the best day of my life.....i always thought that the north koreans were bad but looking at the vid and the player crying gave me the sense that these people are defineatly NOT bad and have a GREAT sense of national pride like all of us....i cant believe im saying this as a south korean but GO north!! forgive my ignorance

He cried because he's proud of what he's done. I don't think he's thinking about losing in that very moment, he's just enjoying the fact that he's able to know he went to a world cup. Give the guy a break and let him be.

聞くだけで涙が自然と出る素晴らしい偉大な国歌🇰🇵

Entiendo al jugador que lloraba, un país en el que el fútbol no es ni remotamente un deporte seguido, sin apoyo de su afición, y contra todas las probabilidades llegaron a un mundial, dejando fuera a rivales de la zona asiática como Irán, Arabia Saudí y Qatar... Entiendo que el sabía que probablemente nunca más iba a volver a jugar un mundial.. es un sentimiento de amor a su país muy grande y de gran respeto al grande del fútbol con quien jugaron.

国を背負うとはこのこと。今、世界は、大変な時期をむかえていますが、日本のトップ達はこの動画を観てなにかを感じてもらいたいです。

@DannyandPatty He isn't north korean, he's born in Japan, but he choosed North korea for his country, because his parents are from korea. And he was so prouded that he can sing the anthem of North korea in the world cup stage.

@ElDesmadreGriego Thank you for your comment!

鄭大世が引退と聞いて…

Absolutely beautiful love for your country. I love Jon Te Sae

The National Anthem Aegukka (Patriotic song) was written in 1948, There are no references to the Kim Family or the Workers' Party of Korea its about Korea itself the lyrics are on wikipedia

It is really extremely difficult to play world cup stage. North korea deserves its respect... korean determination from North and South..

Congratulations for your national holiday today North Korea In 1948 North Korea was founded Wish all north korean people only the best for the future from your friends in Germany

Most beautiful song I've ever heard. Long live the one and only Kim-Jong-Un

I just wanna say this is so great to see Brazil's players handshaking North Koreans. Sports takes over the politics!:')

You also have got to remember that this was North Korea's first World Cup in 44 years 1966 to be exact. That's why emotions are high even though the result wasn't pretty. I'm surprised that they aren't in it more... They should qualify more to get a since of what it's like against the elite clubs like Brazil

Por dioh! Que hermoso himno! Por dios!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God dam it! This anthem sounds good! Also if i'm not north korean fan

@goefferful which korea? North or south?

I do the same when I hear my countrie's anthem, I'm proud of him, one of the greatest anthems in whole world and I'm not obliged by my gouvernment to cry, so live the guy alone, he only cry because he has to do it, it's his land!

I would cry being allowed to represent my country out of millions that live there and all the eyes of the world watching you is a amazing sight and opportunity to hold while you sing your countries anthem!!

Oh yeah, today (15.June.2020) 10 years of this epic day in my life. When my dream come true, Chosun in FIFA World Cup!!! Great Jong Tae Se!!! ^^ 🇰🇵💪🏻😎❤️😍

At 0:57 you see somebody's hair at the bottom of the screen, for a second I was expecting a young Kim Jong Un standing there. Kidding love you guys, especially the guy at 0:41 sheding tears of pure pride.

This is supposed to have been the coldest FIFA football match ever with -1 degrees celcius on field.

I feel so proud for my country 🇰🇵

Funny how a small isolated country like North korea qualifies constantly in Football while dozens of Capitalist countries in the third and first world continue to fail.

@Kamensky93 Haha, I am surprised that you get no thumb-up here. Love your formula!

Jong Tae-Se are crying, although the North Korean football team did not appear in the group stage, but North Korea has played to the highest level.

1:15 pentagram upside down Korean flag.

They think Brazil 0 North Korea 100 SouthK 0 North Korea 12 America 0 North Korea 200000 China 1 North Korea 146

It's not about their leader that he isn't human. Is about love for your country, for your colour nothing else.

atleast thy r qualified fr wc....thy hv lot of potential...thre r stll lots of country stll dream abt qualifying in fifa wc

how he proud he represent the nation!

Rest in peace for the north korean guy waving hand. 1:14

Nationalism level : Jong Tae-Se. 🇰🇵👍

People that are not world cup fans don't understand that it's normal to see players cry in a world cup match because it's so hard just to make it there even players from modern country do it you don't have to be from North Korea

정대세의 눈물~! 아~! 흐흑~! 나도 눈물나네...~! 폐쇄국가에서 넓은 무대로 나와 국가를 한 번 불러본다는 것~! 눈물나는 일이네~!

The emotional moment is here.

I can't believe it. I have seen North Korean spectators. They must have been given permission by their leader
