Yang Hyun-jun of Celtic has earned a spot on South Korea's national team roster for the final tune-up matches before the 2026 FIFA World Cup, set to kick off in three months.
Head coach Hong Myung-bo announced the squad for two March friendlies in Europe at Korea Football Park in Cheonan, South Chungcheong Province, on Sunday.
Core players from November's matches against Bolivia and Ghana retained their places, including Son Heung-min (LAFC), Lee Jae-sung (Mainz), Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich), and Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain).
"I selected players showing strong recent form at their clubs rather than past performances," Hong said. "This roster is not the final World Cup squad. The composition can change depending on how players perform in the remaining time."
