He wants to learn a lot in good teaching in the future,” he said. He also conveyed his excitement about playing at the Sangam World Cup Stadium. Hwang Eui-jo said, “Playing soccer in Seoul and meeting fans while playing games in Sangam are exciting and exciting things.”

Hwang Eui-jo, who joined Bordeaux in the summer of 2019, was recognized for his firepower on the European stage, scoring 6 goals in the 2019-2020 season, 12 goals in the 2020-2021 season, and 11 goals in the 2021-2022 season.
