Although Park believes that fans don't think this song to be an insult, where there are references to the Korean people eating dog meat, he believes it makes Korean football players feel uncomfortable, the Periscope broadcasts.

Park points out that some United supporters sang the song towards Wolfves' new transfer, Hee-Chan Hwang a South-Corean football player who was transferred from RB Leipzig during summer during the match at Molineux in August, broadcast Periscopi.

I need to speak up this time,” U n TD Podcast.

At that time (when I was a player in United, 15 years ago, everything changed from the Netherlands to England, I had to adapt and start at zero. So when I heard that song at the time, I felt very proud first because they created a song for me, which is good for a player.

But when I heard about the freedom to eat dog meat, it was very unpleasant to me.

I was young, I didn't know the culture here, so maybe it was one of the things I had to accept. I never thought fans made songs with bad meanings. They always do a song to give the player some energy. That's my opinion. So I accepted.

But time has changed, and it's 15 years later. Perhaps, last summer, listening to one of the Korean players who joined Wolfves, and then United fans sang my song, I felt I had to do something.

And in Korea it changed a lot. It's true that, historically, people have eaten dog meat. But these days, especially the new generation, hate it. He was there before, but these days you really can't find him. So culture is changing.

So I'm really sorry for hearing that. I know United fans didn't mean any offense to him, but I had to educate fans to stop that word, which these days is a racial insult to the Korean people. I have to ask the fans to stop singing that word because you're not enjoying someone anymore, there will be more embarrassment when they hear that song. “
