Lee Kang-in and Son Heung-min were both selected, and Joo Min-gyu was also selected Hwang Seon-hong announces roster for Thailand match in March

Lee Kang-in and Son Heung-min of the South Korea national soccer team prepare for a free kick during the match between Korea Republic and Bahrain in Group E of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup held at Jassim bin Hamad Stadium in Doha, Qatar, on January 15 (local time).

The interim coach of the national soccer team, Hwang Seon-hong, selected Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain) and chose to attack head-on.

On the 11th, Coach Hwang announced the 23 players for the national team that will play in the two-game international match against Thailand (21st and 26th) in March at the Soccer Center in Jongno-gu, Seoul.

Lee Kang-in, who attracted the most attention, was also included in the list. Lee Kang-in caused a huge controversy by clashing with Son Heung-min (Tottenham) the day before the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup semifinal match against Jordan.

Although his skills were clearly outstanding, he could easily create another controversy, so it was a difficult issue where he had to choose between his skills and public opinion, but Director Hwang chose to 'attack head-on'.

Captain Son Heung-min was also selected, and we got to see Son Heung-min and Lee Kang-in continue to work together following the Asian Cup.

In addition, most of the existing core members, including Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich), Hwang In-beom (Zvezda), and Lee Jae-seong (Mainz), were also included. Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton) was excluded due to a hamstring injury.

New faces also stand out. Joo Min-gyu (Ulsan), who has maintained his pride as a 'local goal scorer' on the domestic stage by winning the K-League 1 top scorer last season, wore the Taegeuk symbol for the first time.

This is Joo Min-gyu's first time being selected for the national team, including the age group national team. Gwangju FC's Jeong Ho-yeon and Ulsan HD's Myung-jae Lee were also called up to the A national team for the first time.

In addition, players who were not selected for the Asian Cup, such as Kim Moon-hwan of Al Duhail (Qatar), Baek Seung-ho of Birmingham City (England), and Sharjah (UAE) Cho Yu-min, were also named.

Meanwhile, Hwang Seon-hong will be convened on the 18th and then prepare for the 3rd match of Group C of the 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup Asia Region 2nd qualifying round against Thailand at the Seoul World Cup Stadium at 8 p.m. on the 21st.

Afterwards, they will move to Bangkok, Thailand on the 22nd and have a return match at Rajamangala Stadium at 9:30 pm on the 26th.

Korea is in first place in the group with two wins (6 points), winning the first game against Singapore and the second game against China.
