After the friendly match against Uzbekistan on the 6th, the three core players of Korean football born in 1996—Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich), Hwang In-beom (Porto), and Hwang Hee-chan (Schalke)—sat down with officials from the Korea Football Association (KFA). The three players poured out their accumulated frustrations. This was an extension of the "national team retirement hint controversy" involving these three players, which this publication reported exclusively. On this day, rumors even circulated among national team players and close acquaintances that "this could be the final A-match for the three players born in 1996."
High-ranking officials from the KFA personally stepped in to launch a "2-day persuasion mission." It is reported that they listened to and comforted the players until they felt relieved, while doing their utmost to dissuade them, saying, "You will regret it if you retire like this." As the three players took a step back, the immediate crisis was averted.
