Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton), who took the lead in Korea’s advance to the round of 16 at the 2022 Qatar World Cup, boasted of his popularity by exchanging jokes with his Portuguese colleagues.
On the 16th, Hwang Hee-chan released a pictorial with global luxury brand Gucci and fashion magazine W Korea on his Instagram.
In the pictorial, Hwang Hee-chan showed a charm comparable to that of a professional model by digesting various styles such as suits, knits, and casual wear.
However, fellow players who saw this pictorial might not hold back their laughter.
Jo Se-sa, who plays for Wolverhampton with Hwang Hee-chan, commented on emoticons as if she were touching her forehead and smiling while shedding tears. Usually, Hwang Hee-chan and Jo Se-sa are known to be close friends by making fun of each other’s fashion.
Josesa did not stop there, but also tagged Wolverhampton teammates Joao Moutinho, Ruben Neves, Pedro Neto, Nelson Semedo, and Diego Costa so that he might see Hwang Hee-chan’s pictorial.

Hwang Hee-chan, embarrassed by his colleague’s prank, replied in Portuguese, “Por favor Sa Saiam” (Please go away). She then made a cute threat in Korean, saying, “If you do this, you won’t get Choco Pie.” Choco Pie is what Korean fans send when cheering for a player on an overseas expedition.
Did you want to eat Choco Pie? Josesa quickly changed her attitude by saying “Moedl” (like a model).
In addition, Hwang Hee-chan’s pictorial featured Manchester City striker Erling Holland (22, Norway). Holland left a sighing emoticon, saying “Wow Hee Chan”, and Hwang Hee-chan responded with “I learned from you bro” and laughed.
Jose Sa also appeared on this post and commented “Amazing Shoes bro” (Shoes are really pretty), and Wolverhampton midfielder Daniel Podense also threw out a word, “What is this?”
Netizens admired Hwang Hee-chan’s extraordinary personal connections, saying, “Hwang Hee-chan was also world class.” In addition, comments such as “I thought it was Yeo Jin-goo”, “So handsome”, “Now Yeo Jin-goo looks like Hwang Hee-chan”, and “Existence itself is a luxury item” continued.
Meanwhile, Hwang Hee-chan, who took a short break following the World Cup, departed through Incheon International Airport on the 11th and joined Wolverhampton, which is training in Madrid, Spain.
