I am grateful to my fellow players, coaching staff, and fans who supported me.
In particular, it was my first time winning a game representing Korea,
so it was a good memory and good experience for me.”
“I learned a lot as a soccer player and as a person,” he said.
Regarding his feelings about wearing the gold medal around his neck, he said, “It was heavy.”
Regarding military service benefits, he said, “Actually, it wasn’t that big of a burden,” and “It’s true that it will make my career as an athlete more comfortable in the future,
but I don’t have any special thoughts as it is something all Korean men have to do.”

Following his victory at the Asian Games, he received military service benefits at the age of 22,
allowing him to continue playing on the European stage without worrying about enlisting in the military at the age of his prime.
It is also good news that PSG can use players who are at the peak of their skills without worrying about military service.
