KBS announcer Jung Ji Won: “While we’re at it, let’s just go straight to the finals, Korea vs Japan! I want to go to London and massage our players’ legs. I’m sorry Giggs oppa. Sturridge oppa, please don’t be too angry. I’m not tired even if I don’t sleep. I’m already full even if I don’t eat.”
2AM‘s Seulong: “We can win a gold medal. Let’s continue this, fighting! Except Changmin hyung, my timeline is full of talks about the soccer.”
Brown Eyed Girls‘ Narsha: “My hands are shaking! Wow, seriously! This is making me cry. Let’s beat Brazil!”
