Lee and Hwang came to South Korea last Tuesday and started to train with the other players immediately. Hwang planned to come later, but he requested his team that he needs to go as soon as possible to South Korea. In the interview, Hwang said that he was not that good in Russia WorldCup. He did not score any goal. However, this time will be different. Strikers answer with goal. He said that he will make a good tournament. South Korea is defending the Asian Games Champion. However, Lee said that they should not let their guards down. He also said that their goal is to get the gold medal. There will be no excuses, and they have to make it.

▲ South Korea, the defending champion of Asian Games is aiming gold

To South Korean players, Asian Games is important because they can get the exemption from military service if they win the gold medal. Especially to star players like Son, if he loses this chance, he may have to come back to South Korea for his military service. South Korea is one of the most powerful teams in Asia, but they have to keep caring for the gold medal.
