Kim Ye-geon (18, Crvena Zvezda), hailed as the future of Korean football, was substituted into the match but was taken off again just 19 minutes later. A substitution in followed by a substitution out is extremely rare unless there are unavoidable reasons such as injury, and for Kim Ye-geon, who has limited professional experience, this could leave a lasting emotional wound. Kim Ye-geon was brought on as a substitute in the 15th minute of the second half during the Serbian SuperLiga match betwee

The "1.76-second monster arm," famous since high school, has been perfected into the league's top weapon in his fourth professional season. Kim Geon-hee (22, Kiwoom Heroes) is now protecting the home of the national team with that very arm. Kim Geon-hee will join the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games national team, led by manager Ryu Ji-hyun (55), after the game concluded on the 14th.
