Bayern Munich (Germany), the team that national soccer team defender Min-jae Kim plays for, was fined hundreds of millions of won due to supporters causing a fuss during an away game.

Reuters reported on the 13th (Korean time) that the German Football Association (DFB) imposed a fine of 150,000 euros (approximately 225 million won) on Munich.

The incident occurred on August 17 during the first round of the 2024-2025 German Football Association (DFB) Pokal against Ulm of the second division.

As the second half began, Munich supporters set off more than 70 flares and several firecrackers.

This caused thick smoke to cover the ground, causing the game 파워볼 to be halted for about three minutes.

Of the €150,000 fine imposed on Munich, €50,000 can be used to strengthen the club's security system and prevent violence, subject to approval by the DFB.

The Munich club has decided to accept the DFB's punishment.

Munich won 4-0 against Ulm, led by Thomas Müller, who scored twice in the first half.

Munich, which won 4-0 against Mainz in the second round held on the 31st of last month, will face defending champion Leverkusen in the round of 16 on the 4th of next month.
