Daegu FC announced on the 2nd that it has recruited Hwang In-taek (22), a next-generation defender.

Hwang In-taek is a left-footed left-back with fast speed and solid physicality, and is a multi-defensive resource that can play up to center back.

Hwang In-taek, who entered the professional league with Suwon Samsung in 2022, was selected for the 2023 U-20 national team and helped him advance to the semifinals of the FIFA U-20 World Cup. In recognition of his performance in the tournament, he was loaned to Estoril Praia, Portugal, where he experienced the European stage. He returned to Suwon Samsung in the summer of 2024 and played in three games. He then moved to Suwon FC in 2025 and continued his growth by playing in nine games. Hwang In-taek, who has abundant potential and international experience, is expected to revitalize Daegu's defensive line.

Hwang In-taek said, "I want to help Daegu get promoted to where it should be. I'm looking forward to getting a good opportunity to play in Daegu and hearing the fans' passionate support in person. I will repay that support with my performance, and I will show you a good performance in Paekk as soon as possible," he said.
