For Joo Min-Gyu and Lee Dong-Kyung, the match between Korea and Japan is also a great opportunity to prove their value by wearing the Taeguk brand.

The most important players in Europe did not take part in this competition. This is because the East Asian trophy is not held during the A-Match time described by FIFA.

The Korean crime is full of European Leaguer like son Heung-Min, Lee Kang-in, Hwang Hee-Chan, Lee Jae-Sung, Oh Hyun-Kyu, Bae Jun-Ho and Yang Hyun-Jun. K Leaguer can only be appointed by the national team if he proves his value in this tournament without the European Leaguer.

Joo Min-Gyu and Lee Dong-Kyung are the best offensive resources in the K League 1.

It is taken care of whether Joo Min-Kyu and Lee Dong-Kyung will take the lead in the sixth career victory in Korea by defeating Japan, the “old rival”.
