    Instead, the 24-year-old forward has become quite the heart throb online.
    Having started the tournament with around 20,000 followers on Instagram, he now has a staggering 1.7MILLION.
    His mind boggling surge in followers has partly come off the back of an old video of Cho that has gone viral on social media in recent days.
    A clip of him sitting on the bench for his club side has been viewed over 7.4m times on Twitter.

    While the hashtag “ChoGuesung” on TikTok has over 200m views in total.
    Cho’s mesmeric rise to stardom has led to him having to turn his phone OFF due to the constant notifications.
    He has even been flooded with marriage proposals from obsessed fans on social media.
    South Korean journalist Seo Jung-hwan said on Cho, via The Athletic: “He had to get some rest.

    “His phone was going all night. It was keeping him awake. He was trying to concentrate on football and, all the time, the messages were coming.”
    Cho appears to be well on his way to overhauling national hero and Tottenham star Son in terms of popularity.
    He plays his club football for South Korean side Jeonbuk Hyundai and was leading scorer in the last K League championship.
    Having made the South Korea World Cup squad, Cho netted twice off the bench in the 3-2 defeat to Ghana on Monday.
    Reports have linked him with a move to Celtic, Borussia Dortmund and Fenerbahce.
    But his new found popularity appears to be down to his good looks, rather than his footballing ability.
    However, the bad news for his millions of new admirers is the fact that Cho is believed to have a girlfriend.
    Although the player will have put brands on red alert with his rise to stardom, even if he does fail to keep South Korea in the World Cup.
    Cho and Co need to beat Portugal and hope Uruguay beat Ghana to qualify for the knockouts, with it then coming down to goal difference between South Korea and Uruguay for second spot.

    In her most recent Instagram post celebrating 1million followers, she included a photo of the men checking her out and snapping photos with the caption: “1000000 followers, thank you so much for your support. Love you all!”
    Her followers were quick to point out the cheeky actions of the men in the photos.
    “That’s it, the guy is caught. The wife is waiting at home with a hammer!” one follower commented.
    It’s not the first time Ivana has turned heads with her showy outfits – she’s made headlines in years prior for her sexy outfits.

    She gained fame in 2018 for her fashion at the event in Russia.
    Others were critical of her cheeky outfit in the conservative country of Qatar.
    “Qatar is not Europe, you shouldn’t go out in this form,” one user said.
    Ivana pointed out the hypocrisy in the organiser’s decisions regarding modesty, mentioning her Catholicism.

    “I’m not a Muslim and if we in Europe respect hijab and niqab, I think they need also to respect our way of life, our religion and in the end me wearing dresses and bikinis because I’m Catholic from Croatia who is here because of the World Cup,” she explained.
    Her latest outfit, a red checked bikini top and tight red leggings, turned some heads, especially as Qatar has enforced strict rules around clothing for the World Cup.
    Visitors to Qatar have been advised to cover their shoulders and avoid short skirts, which Ivana was shocked by.
    “First I was thinking if the World Cup is happening there (Qatar), for sure they will allow us everything to make it comfortable for all fans without any of the restrictions,” she said.
    Ivana has said she has no fear of being arrested by Qatari authorities, and even dared to wear a skimpy thong swimsuit on a Qatar beach before the competition began.
