“The Last Of The Real Ones” (FALL OUT BOY)
TAEHYUN of TOMORROW X TOGETHER: This was the ending theme for the Premier League broadcasts, so it’s probably already a familiar song for a lot of soccer fans. I love it because it’s so energetic, and I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of players competing in this World Cup have listened to it, too. Lately, whenever I go play soccer with my friends, I always blast this song in the car on the way there. It makes me feel like I’m a soccer player myself. I’m not the one out on the pitch, but I hope our national team—and every player competing in the World Cup—can enjoy the tournament and play with the same energy this song brings.

“Dreamers” (Jung Kook)
WONHYUK of E’LAST: I still remember watching Jung Kook perform “Dreamers” at the opening ceremony of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. The performance has really stayed with me. I hope we’ll get to see that same passion and energy from Korea’s Red Devils again at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. I’ll be rooting for the Korean national team and wishing all the players a healthy, injury-free tournament.

“SHOUT OUT” (ENHYPEN)
JAKE of ENHYPEN: Shout out to all the players competing in the World Cup! Wishing you all the best and hoping everyone stays healthy and injury-free throughout the tournament. I’ll definitely be cheering you on from afar. And to the fans, let’s have fun cheering along!

“Flying Duck” (cherryfilter)
YUNAH of ILLIT: This song is full of energy and has a really uplifting message about going beyond your limits. That’s why I wanted to recommend it. I think it’s the perfect song to cheer on the players’ passion, determination, and fighting spirit throughout the World Cup.

“TROPHY” (82MAJOR)
NAM SEONG MO of 82MAJOR: Before a game, a lot of players picture themselves winning, right? In our song “TROPHY,” the word “trophy” comes up over and over again, so I hope you’ll listen to it while imagining that moment when you finally lift the trophy. The song is packed with energy and has a really powerful vibe, so I think it’s the perfect track to get players fired up and ready to give it their all.

“hey! hey!” (TWS)
DOHOON of TWS: I think the lyrics, “We don’t stop / We don’t know how to stop,” are a perfect match for all the players competing in the World Cup. Just hearing the song gives me a boost of energy and makes me want to keep going, which is why I picked it. To the Korean national team and all the players representing Korea, keep pushing forward and give it everything you’ve got! We’ll be cheering you on every step of the way.

“Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)” (Shakira)
CHANELLE MOON of FIFTY FIFTY: I still vividly remember singing along to this song while playing soccer with my friends when I was younger. Every time I hear it, it takes me right back to those fun memories and the excitement we shared back then. One of the things I love most about this song is the message in the lyrics about picking yourself back up when you fall. That message has always meant a lot to me. Whenever I’m feeling discouraged or worn out, it reminds me to keep going, take on new challenges, and never give up.

“Hooligan” (BTS)
JUHOON of CORTIS: I hope Korean soccer fans can enjoy every moment of this World Cup with the same passion and energy this song brings. I’ll be cheering from afar and supporting the team all the way. Let’s go, Korea!

“YEAH! YEAH!” (Jay Park, LNGSHOT)
LOUIS of LNGSHOT: I was part of FC Seoul’s youth academy when I was younger, so I’ve always felt a strong connection to the sport and a lot of pride in Korean soccer. I wanted to recommend this song because it’s packed with energy and has such an uplifting, powerful feel to it. I think it’s a song that really lets you feel that excitement and emotion when you listen to it.
