He said: “Over the past two years I asked myself the same question whenever I had to make important decisions, select players or prepare for training session and matches: ‘Is this the right choice for Korean football?’
“I can not say every decision has been the right one, but I can tell you that I have made every decision with Korean football in mind.”
His resignation came hours after South Korea’s president, Lee Jae Myung, lashed out at the team’s performance.
He pointed the finger at “incompetent people” before apologising to the nation.
Lee said: “When loyalty and factionalism are valued over competence, and incompetent people are appointed to leadership positions, the outcome is all but inevitable.
“I offer my deepest apologies to the public for the profound disappointment caused by this unacceptable outcome.
“We will move swiftly to reform sports administration to ensure that nothing like this happens again.”
South Korea finished third in Group A following two losses to South Africa and Mexico – despite winning their opening match against the Czech Republic.
