Cho Gue-sung: South Korea trained at Chivas Verde Valle in Guadalajara on June 10

The held a training session at Chivas Verde Valle in Guadalajara, Mexico, on June 10, a final preparation day that came one day before the start of the 2026 North American World Cup.

The session, captured in a single image from the ground, focused on routine ball work and passing patterns. During a passing drill a player identified as was seen appealing to the referee’s decision, a small moment that punctuated an otherwise ordinary practice.

June 10 is the concrete date: the session took place at Chivas Verde Valle in Guadalajara. The timing is the clearest measure of its importance — it arrived at the very end of South Korea’s pre-tournament preparations, with the World Cup scheduled to begin the following day.

The photograph and its brief caption supply the only confirmed details: location, date and the on-pitch moment involving Oh Hyun-kyu. The material does not include a match result, roster change or injury update, nor does it record any coaching announcement or lineup decision.

That gap is the practical tension in the report. On paper the activity looks like a standard training day; in calendar terms it is a last-stage rehearsal. The ordinary drill setting therefore carries added weight because it preceded the opening of the 2026 North American World Cup by 24 hours.

Readers looking for concrete leads on selection or tactics will find none in the published material. The caption-level report confines itself to the scene at Chivas Verde Valle and the split-second interaction involving Oh Hyun-kyu; it offers no indication whether the day’s work presaged a change in personnel, formation or match plan.

For those tracking who makes the starting XI or how the team will approach its first match, the only confirmed next date from this item is the World Cup’s commencement on June 11. The training image serves as a last visible slice of preparation, but it does not close the central question left open by the photo: whether what happened on the practice field will translate into the lineup and strategy when the tournament begins.

In short, the team completed a June 10 session at Chivas Verde Valle in Guadalajara, with Oh Hyun-kyu’s appeal during a passing drill the lone human detail recorded. The session’s proximity to the tournament start is its main significance; the material that remains missing — roster confirmation, tactical shifts, or injury notes — is exactly what will decide how that practice matters once matches kick off on June 11.
