Korean Victim of Racial Taunts at World Cup Officially Invited by FIFA

[Anchor] First, we have news that a Korean influencer who was subjected to racial discrimination at a World Cup stadium has received an official invitation from FIFA.

[Reporter] Yes, FIFA has stepped in directly to send a message against hate and discrimination.

FIFA announced that it has officially invited the Korean influencer, identified as A, to the match between South Korea and Mexico, which will be held tomorrow in Guadalajara, Mexico.

Explaining the background of the invitation, FIFA stated that since the day of the match coincides with the "International Day for Countering Hate Speech," they intend to deliver a message of respect and inclusion to the world together with A at the stadium.

Previously, A suffered racial discrimination during the match between South Korea and the Czech Republic when a Mexican man made a so-called "slant-eye" gesture. The related video spread rapidly across social media, sparking widespread criticism.

As the controversy grew, the man eventually issued a public apology and stepped down from his position as the head of an association he had been leading.

FIFA also stated that it has blocked the perpetrator's World Cup ticketing account and strongly condemns all forms of racism and hate speech.
