Hwang Sun-hong, interim coach of the Korean national soccer team, will visit Suwon Stadium on Tuesday afternoon. He will watch Suwon FC and Jeonbuk Hyundai match in the second round of the "Hana Bank K League 1 2024." Hwang is focusing on player selection ahead of the second consecutive match against Thailand in the third and fourth Asian qualifiers for the 2026 North-Central America World Cup, which will take place at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on March 21 and at the Rajamangala Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand on March 26.

Hwang, who watched the opening match between Jeonbuk Hyundai and Daejeon Hana Citizen on the 1st and Gwangju FC-FC Seoul on the 2nd. Hwang is moving to see as many players as possible ahead of a press conference on the announcement of the national team's roster on the 11th. After watching the Suwon FC-Jeonbuk match, the Seoul-Incheon United match will also be held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 10th. Jeong Hae-sung, chairman of the Korea Power Enhancement Committee, Cho Yong-hyung and Jeong Jo-guk, interim coaches of the national team, will watch the Gimcheon Sangmu-Ulsan HD match at Gimcheon Stadium.

Ahead of the semifinal match against Jordan at the 2023 Qatar Asian Cup, Team A had a physical fight with Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain) while his seniors including captain Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur) were going to play table tennis in violation of orders. Son injured his finger.

A series of situations have soared into public distrust and anger against "Shootdol" Lee Kang-in. Lee Kang-in showed harmony by visiting So Heung-min and apologizing, but faced the task of restoring public trust. At the same time, voices calling for the restoration of discipline within the A team have grown.

Everyone understood and tolerated the disappearance of the vertical hierarchy as in the past and the sufficient acceptance of the voices of the juniors, coinciding with the horizontal social atmosphere. However, rude behavior, such as swinging a fist, led to strong antipathy and the logic that the leadership of the seniors should be strengthened around captain Son Heung-min.

Would it be possible to harmonize with the divided teams if they get together again? Even at a time when the "table tennis gate" situation is intensifying, some players have hinted at a possibility of boycotting the game even if they are selected through close aides and others. This is to confirm how much value of the national team, namely royalties, has fallen to the ground. It is also necessary to confirm whether Hwang selected the player who had rumored to be boycotted at the convocation press conference and whether he asked for his opinion.

The national team is a place that everyone wants to come to, but it is not a place that anyone can come to. This is why the argument that hungry people should come and dedicate themselves to the country is gaining traction. In this process, Lee Seung-woo is constantly being discussed. This is because stories are being expanded and reproduced that he serves as a bridge between seniors and juniors and keeps manners regardless of his skills. This came from Suwon FC coach Kim Eun-joong's direct testimony and supporting remarks, saying, "Lee Seung-woo is in his prime, but he has moved away from the national team. He motivated (Lee) that he had enough opportunity to challenge Seung-woo again."

Lee Seung-woo also scored a goal as a kicker for the penalty kick that occurred right before the end of the match against Incheon, where coach Cho and Chung watched, before saying, "I am always preparing hard for my return to the national team. I will wait calmly (for) the selection as it is Hwang's authority," expressing his intention to be judged only by his performance without hesitation.

It is Lee Seung-woo, who has not been connected to the national team since June 2019. He is always mentioned as a necessary player for the national team, but he has not been called. Lee Seung-woo, who has always had a palate with the announcement of the list.

"Lee Seung-woo is sincere to the national team. However, I hope he is not a caricature. If he is not selected, it will be the leader's judgment, and at the same time, he should make more efforts to improve the level of performance that can be selected as a national team member. As if he were not selected as a player, I hope there will be no negative public opinion saying that Lee Seung-woo is not mentioned as he is.

In fact, Lee Seung-woo was substituted at the 11th minute in the second half of the match against Incheon. It was not a starter, but a substitute card. It means he is not in 100 percent physical condition. It is also true that discussing the possibility of selecting the A national team is not sufficient. It is difficult to evaluate players with only one match, and is at a disadvantage compared to players with the Jeonbuk, Ulsan and Pohang Steelers, who have relatively large number of matches to be observed in the AFC Champions League.

It is true that the second line offensive, in which Lee Seung-woo can play, has better physical condition among players in overseas leagues or domestic leagues. The problem is how the national team utilizes the players. If he sacrifices himself as a joker to turn the mood around in the second half of the season or plays a role to set the mood outside the game, it is certain that he will be selected.

To make the most of the last possibility, how much will Lee himself show in the match against Jeonbuk? This is the final test site before the announcement of the roster. It is true that Jeonbuk is ahead of the team in terms of objective performance. Only when Lee shows more capability than Hwang can he make a decision on selecting the team, and if he is selected, he can win support from soccer fans.

The story does not apply only to Lee Seung-woo. Hwang and other players mentioned after the opening game, including Song Min-gyu (Jeonbuk Hyundai), Um Won-sang (Ulsan HD), Jung Ho-yeon (Gwangju FC) and Lee Han-beom (Mit Whelan), who played at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, are all on the same wavelength.

Hwang`s act of on-site spectatorship, namely, "Whether to become a national team that drastically changes the mood or a national team that maintains a framework and makes minor changes to secure results," contained the message. What remains is the performance of players within Hwang`s perspective.
