At the 2026 FIFA North American World Cup, a Mexican media outlet that belongs to the same group as the South Korean national soccer team pointed out four players to be wary of in the South Korean national team.

Mexican media DE10 said on the 13th (Korea Standard Time), "The Mexican national team has a task to finish the group stage as No. 1 in the World Cup group. However, even if the opposing teams such as South Korea are not world-class strong teams, they have players who can threaten Mexico," he said, citing players to be wary of in South Korea and South Africa.

The media, which introduced the Korean national team as "offensive playing style is threatening to any team," first highlighted Son Heung-min (LAFC) and said, "He is the captain and superstar of the Korean national team. He is a winger and striker who is famous for his speed, sense of goal, and ability to multi-play. I have been an icon of the Korean national team for many years," he explained.

"Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich) is a very solid center back and is the core of the Korean national team and Bayern Munich's defense. "He is recognized for his power and predictive ability," he said. "Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain) is a talented and creative attacking midfielder. He added, "He has the ability to run the game and destroy the opponent, and he is currently a player with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG)."

The last player mentioned was Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton). The media warned, "Hwang Hee-chan, a strong and fast striker, can pose a strong threat from the front while playing for Wolverhampton in the English Premier League (EPL)."

The previous four are the same as the Korean border players selected by South African media Afrikfoot, who recently joined another World Cup-like group. In addition to Son Heung-min, Kim Min-jae, Lee Kang-in, and Hwang Hee-chan, Oh Hyun-kyu (KRC Genk) has also been selected by Afrikfoot.

In addition to South Korea, DE10 also cited players who should be wary of in the South African national team. This can also be a reference for the Korean national team.

The media cited South African national team goalkeeper Ronwen Williams (Orlando Pirates), EPL strikers Lyle Foster (Burnley), Kuliso Mudau, Tevo Mokoena, Aubrey Modiva (Mamelody Sundowns), Siyabonga Ngezana (FCSB) and Gift Links (AGF) as players to watch out for.

Group A of the 2026 FIFA North American World Cup will also be directed at South Korea, Mexico and South Africa, as well as one UEFA (PO) Pass D winner that includes Denmark, Czech Republic, Ireland and North Macedonia. The last remaining team will be confirmed in March.
