Head coach Hwang Seon-hong announced the final list of 22 players who will participate in the Hangzhou Asian Games in September.

The Asian Games were postponed for a year and consisted of players under the age of 24, but a large number of players of that age from Europe as well as the K-League joined.

Defenders Park Jin-seop and Seol Young-woo, and midfielder Baek Seung-ho were dropped as wild cards for the 24+ years of age.

While transferring to Paris Saint-Germain, Lee Kang-in was a concern, but coach Hwang Seon-hong showed confidence.

According to sources, Lee Kang-in is known to have coordinated whether or not to participate in the Asian Games during transfer negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain.

The second-line attackers, including Lee Kang-in, are powerful, but the weight of the frontline striker is a concern.

Hwang Seon-Hong Ho, who formed a powerful team that was as strong as the Jakarta-Palembang Asian Games five years ago, will assemble domestic players from the beginning of August and enter the final training session.
