South Korea exited the tournament Saturday after a 2-1 loss to Uruguay, having reached the round of 16 on foreign soil for the first time.
Huh said after the match at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium that the country's football program was in better shape now than after the 2002 World Cup which it co-hosted, reaching the semifinals.
Huh said South Korean players need to play more overseas football to improve. Seven of South Korea's starting lineup Saturday play outside the country.
