Korea, Away is a video series that explores the Korean diaspora through the Korean Men's National Soccer Team. It explores the experience of always being the "away" team, even in your home country.
Who are we?
We are Emanuel, Josh, and Ray, three friends brought together by our love for soccer.
What is the video series going to be about?
The 2002 World Cup, where the Korean men's national team defied the odds to reach the semi-finals, was a moment of pride and bonding for Koreans and our global diaspora. It signaled to the world: "We're here".
Two decades on, as Korean culture ascends on a global stage, the U.S., Mexico, and Canada are hosting the World Cup. For many Koreans living here, this is an opportunity to welcome the Korean Men's National Team and be the "home" crowd for them.
The multi-part video series explores the following topics:
- ⏳ The history of Korean soccer, the miraculous 2002 World Cup run, where an unknown Asian team overcame European giants to reach the semi-finals.
- 📈The growth of the Korean men's soccer team through the years, focusing on superstars like Park Ji-Sung and Son Heung-Min, among others.
- 🏟️The lead-up to the 2026 World Cup - pairing interviews and live footage of fans and players with tactical analysis.
- ⚽︎ We'll bring you into the action as we attend Korea's group stage games in World Cup '26, exploring Korean diaspora communities across North America as we do.
