Mexico Fans Are Hilariously, Adorably Hyping Up Koreans After They Defeated Germany In The World Cup

"I was on my way grabbing lunch and a group of men wearing the Mexican national team jerseys comes up to me and asks if I'm Korean. I said, 'Yeah' and they be like, 'VIVA KOREA' and [shook] my hand."

ICYMI, South Korea defeated Germany 2–0 in its World Cup matchup on Wednesday. Germany, previous World Cup champions, will not even advance to the knockout round. Some may call the loss unprecedented; others might call it humiliating.

@FoxSportsBrasil simply tweeted:

AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Now, South Korea's win also means that team Mexico, which was defeated by Sweden, will also advance. And its passionate fans, realizing this, reacted accordingly to the game.

VAMOS KOREA!!!!🇰🇷🇲🇽 #KORMEX

Some celebrated like it was their own team!

All Mexican fans became Korean fans and here’s the proof #MEXSWE

After the Germany vs. South Korea match, a parade of Mexican fans in Mexico City swarmed a single Korean fan and lifted him up.

THERES A KOREAN OUT HERE AND MEXICANS MADE A MF PARADE FOR HIM SKFMSKEK #MexicovsSuecia #GERKOR

Individual, random Koreans are being celebrated.

The Mexicans found a South Korean outside the stadium 😂

This guy's friend, in a cowboy hat and boots, danced to "Gangnam Style."

Mexican American fans announced that they're flooding to Koreatown tonight to give their regards in the form of eating at Korean establishments and tipping well.

Every Mexicano should go into Korea town (if you don’t already live there) and do a good deed today (especially for an elder) ⚽️

"I’m going to Korea Town today and will hug and thank every single person I run into. Gracias Korea," one person tweeted.

According to social media worldwide, Korean citizens everywhere are officially "invited to the carne asada."

Mexico soccer fans vowed to "start listening to K-pop" and "continue watching more Korean dramas."
