The Wolves attacker was South Korea’s hero out in Qatar, as his injury time strike against Portugal sent his country through to the knockout stages of the competition against all the odds. Although Korea bowed out to Brazil in the last 16, Hwang made memories he’ll forever cherish and was given a deserved reception when returning to South Korea and then linking back up with his Wolves teammates at their Marbella training base recently.
