		South Korea comes into 2002 World Cup competition with four advantages: play on its home turf, acclimatization to the region's extreme weather, the direction of Holland's former coach, Guus Hiddink, and a perfect understanding of the odds against them.

		South Korea will be taking part in their sixth successive World Cup finals in June, but even their most die-hard fan would be hard pressed to expect a repeat of their fairytale foray into the semi-finals on home soil in 2002.
		The return of Hiddink to the Netherlands as coach of PSV Eindhoven and the retirement of inspirational captain Hong Myung-bo and talismanic striker Hwang Sun-hong did little to dampen fans' expectations for similar success in 2006.
		In September, Korea entrusted their World Cup fortunes to another Dutchman, Dick Advocaat, hoping the former Netherlands manager would bring much-needed stability and discipline to a talented but inexperienced young squad.
