Expectations for victory are high as this tournament will be held with key players such as Son Heung-min (Tottenham), Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton), Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich), and Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain) all active in the European big leagues. In particular, the firepower of the offensive line consisting of Heung-min, Hee-chan, and Kang-in, who have been in peak form recently, is at an all-time high.
With Kim Min-jae, who has emerged as a ‘wolle center back’, the defense is more reliable than ever. He is expected to work with 2023 season K League 1 MVPs Kim Young-kwon, Jeong Seung-hyeon (Ulsan Hyundai), and Kim Joo-seong (FC Seoul).
Front line players Cho Gyu-seong (Midtjylland) and Oh Hyun-gyu (Celtic) are also playing as starters for their teams and are keeping their sharp toes. Midfielders Lee Jae-seong (Mainz), Hong Hyun-seok (Gent), and Hwang In-beom (Crvena Zvezda), who will coordinate the offense and defense in the midfield, are all performing well for their teams.

The 2023 Asian Cup will kick off on the 12th and be played at 9 stadiums in 5 cities in Qatar until the 10th of next month. At this Asian Cup, Korean soccer is determined to resolve 64-year-old resentment. Korea won two consecutive Asian Cup titles in the first tournament held in Hong Kong in 1956 and the second tournament held in Korea in 1960, but only finished as runners-up four times (1972, 1980, 1988, and 2015).
Korea, which belongs to Group E of the group stage, will face Bahrain (15th, 86th), Jordan (20th, 87th), and Malaysia (25th, 130th) in order.
