Hwang Hee-chan, the main player in the round of 16 of the Qatar World Cup, proudly announced Hangeul in England, the home of soccer.
<오! 클릭> The third search term is ‘Hwang Hee-chan’, three shining letters in a Chinese character feast.
Hwang Hee-chan, who plays for Wolverhampton in the English Premier League, appeared wearing a sportswear with a Korean name on it for the New Year, but it is a bit different from his colleagues’ sportswear.
On the 23rd local time, the Wolverhampton team with Chinese owners came out wearing sportswear with their names written in Chinese ahead of the match against Man City.
The club’s social media also marked New Year’s Day as ‘Chinese New Year’ instead of ‘Lunar New Year’, which is quite a move conscious of the Chinese owner.
In the midst of this, Hwang appeared alone in a sportswear with a Korean name written on it, and among the Wolverhampton players full of Chinese characters, the three letters ‘Hwang Hee-chan’ stood out.
It has not been confirmed whether this sportswear was requested by Hwang or the club produced it.
Netizens showed reactions such as “As expected, ‘Hwang Hee-chan, the fundamental'” and “I don’t notice and support straight forward like a bull.”
