South Korean international striker Hwang Hee-chan threw a “meat party” for the juniors of English professional soccer club Wolverhampton’s U-17 team, who traveled to South Korea and gave their all on the field.

Wolverhampton’s U-17 team participated in the K League International Youth Cup Incheon 2023, which was held from March 3 to 9 around Incheon. Hwang Hee-chan, who was called up to the South Korean national team to play in the A match in September, invited 30 players and coaching staff to a meat restaurant in Yeongjong-do, Incheon, through his agency, B the HC, during the tournament. They were treated to a hearty Korean meal of pork ribs, miso stew, and cold noodles. The meal lasted nearly two hours in a cheerful atmosphere.

Hwang Hee-chan, a regular in Wolverhampton’s first team, is an inspiration to youth players. Goalkeeper George Hardy said: “Hwang Hee-chan, who plays for Wolverhampton, is a player that our youth players look up to. We’re grateful to him for making the juniors enjoy eating Korean food and creating memories of smiles. If I ever meet him, I will definitely say ‘thank you’ in person.” Midfielder Alfie White said, “I’ve never had such a hearty meal in my life. I never knew Korean food could be so delicious,” said midfielder Alfie White, “and I’m glad there are seniors like Hwang Hee-chan in Korea.”

B the HC representative Hwang Hee-jung told the team, “Hwang Hee-chan wanted to share a meal with the younger players, so we organized it. I look forward to seeing them return to England with good experiences and memories from Korea and play with Hwang in the Wolverhampton first team.” The tournament was organized to improve the competitiveness of K League youth teams and promote international exchange. In addition to Wolverhampton, youth teams from Anderlecht (Belgium), Valencia, and Real Sociedad (Spain) participated.카지노
