The North Korean women's national football team defeated Myanmar 8-0 yesterday (September 17) to claim the top spot in Group F.

During the post-match press conference, manager Pak Sung-jin calmly shared his determination ahead of the final group stage match against South Korea.

However, a reporter's question brought a smile to his face, noticeably softening the mood.

On the other hand, in the mixed zone, North Korean players kept their answers brief when faced with questions from South Korean reporters.

On September 21, South Korea and North Korea will face off for first place in Group F.

Who was the reporter that made the stern North Korean coach smile? [Sports Mug] brings you the story.
