The Korea Football Association announced on the 25th, “During the call-up period for the Olympic team, Hwang Jae-hwan will be selected as a replacement depending on the possibility of Bae Jun-ho (Daejeon Hana Citizen) leaving the country in connection with the transfer negotiations.”
Midfielder Bae Jun-ho, who took the lead in Korea’s entry into the semifinals at this year’s FIFA U20 World Cup, was selected by Hwang Seon-hong and was scheduled to participate in the call-up training from the 28th, but was recruited from England’s second division Stoke City. We are in the process of negotiating a transfer while receiving an offer. As the possibility of Bae Jun-ho leaving for England and negotiating with him increased, manager Hwang Seon-hong chose Hwang Jae-hwan as his replacement. ▲ Midfielder Hwang Jae-hwan.
