title: 18-year-old Yang Min-hyeok's is a surprise. What about Son Junho?

---

Four players, including "Young Gun" Yang Min-hyuk, who occupied the K-League 1 professional soccer at the age of 18, first wore the national flag under the call of Hong Myung-bo, the new national soccer team coach.

Coach Hong announced the list of 26 national players who will play in two consecutive A matches in September at the Korea Football Center in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 26th.

Coach Hong chose to make a "change in stability" by selecting a national team player for the first time since he was appointed amid controversy on the 7th of last month.

While the national team's one-two punches, "captain" Son Heung-min Tottenham and Hwang Hee-chan Wolverhampton, the next-generation ace Lee Kang-in PSG, and the defense's core Kim Min-jae Munhen were called as expected, four new faces, Yang Min-hyuk Gangwon FC, Hwang Moon-ki Gangwon FC, Lee Han-beom Mit Willan, and Choi Woo-jin Incheon, were added.[메이저놀이터](https://www.ibeautylab.co.kr/18/)

In particular, Yang Min-hyuk, who debuted on the adult stage this year, is a side striker who is currently performing brilliantly, tied for 7th place in the league's offensive points 13.

He also surprised everyone by confirming his joining of Tottenham and booking a place in the English Premier League EPL at the youngest age ever as a Korean player.

On the reason why he did not choose Son Joon-ho Suwon FC, who was released after a whopping 10 months of detention by Chinese public security and is returning to the K-League stage smoothly, Hong said, "Son Joon-ho is constantly watching, but..., "There was something that wasn't clear about China yet. There were some risks related to this," he said.
