Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on February 12, 1969)

Happy Birthday, Hong Myung-Bo! You're the legendary sweeper who swept us off our feet through four consecutive World Cups from 1990 to 2002. Your calm leadership and iconic penalty kick against Spain in 2002 still make fans cheer louder than a K-pop concert!

As manager of South Korea's national team since 2013, you've shown that your tactical genius ages like fine kimchi—only getting better with time. May your birthday be filled with more joy than scoring a last-minute winner, and may you continue inspiring generations both on and off the pitch. Cheers to many more victories ahead!
