Brazil scored all the goals in the first half, and although Vinicius Junior scored first, fans were chanting "Neymar, Neymar, Neymar" as the PSG star took a penalty, and doubled Brazil's lead.
It was Neymar's 76th goal for Brazil and his first appearance since he was injured in their first match.
Those goals were followed by strikes by Richarlison and Lucas Paqueta.
South Korea's didn't let Brazil have all the fun and in the second half, Paik Seung-ho smashed a long-distance goal too.
South Korea nearly had other moments too, but Brazil and Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson made several brilliant saves.
Many experts say that Brazil are the favourites to win this World Cup and after last night you can understand why!
