The biggest advantage of Hwang In-beom (28, Feyenoord) of the national soccer team is that he grows nonstop.
Hwang In-beom, born in 1996, is in his late 20s. He is entering his prime as a player, and Hwang In-beom has improved over time.
This is evident from the past match against Kuwait. Hwang started in the fifth Group B match of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup against Kuwait on Sunday, and led Korea to a 3-1 victory with outstanding performance.
His performance was overwhelming. Hwang helped Oh score a header with an accurate and sharp cross in the 10th minute of the first half. He also aimed perfectly at Oh’s head with directions and trajectories that defenders and goalkeepers cannot handle from the right side. Nine minutes later, he also helped induce Son to take a penalty. Before Son tripped over the defense, he shook Kuwait’s defense line with a penetrating pass. Bae Jun-ho’s net goal in the 29th minute of the second half also started from Hwang In-beom’s toes. After checking Bae’s penetrating from the left side of the penalty box, he accurately connected the space pass with his left foot to score an assist.
On the day, Hwang had a 92.4 percent pass success rate. He also had a high 87.9 percent success rate in opposing teams. He played a 100 percent role as a playmaker through three chances making. After Hwang joined the national team, he played a very good game. Media and fans began comparing French legend Zinedine Zidane with Hwang.
Since his debut with the Daejeon Hana Citizen in 2015, Hwang has been playing in major leagues such as Major League Soccer (VANCOUVER WHITE Caps), Russia (Rubin Kazan), Greece (Olympiacos), and Serbia (Trvena Zvezda). It wasn’t a good environment to improve his skills, but Hwang grew steadily. He finally joined Feyenoord, a prestigious Dutch Eredivisie club, and entered the center of Europe this season. The Dutch league is competitive enough even if it is difficult to see it as a big league. Notably, the team is considered one of the most prestigious along with PSV Eindhoven and Ajax. 메이저사이트
Even after entering the Netherlands, Hwang has steadily improved his performance and is also playing as a recognized player at Feyenoord. Although he is older now, he is said to be able to enter the big leagues.
In Hong Myung-bo, where Son Heung-min, Lee Kang-in, and Kim Min-jae hold out, Hwang In-beom is showing no less presence. If he does not stop growing as he is now, Hwang In-beom is expected to show his outstanding skills in the World Cup finals two years later.
