This article at the end says manager Hwang Sun-hong told Hwang Hee-chan to join Pohang Steelers next year (after graduating). http://www.steelers.co.kr/news/steelers_news_view.asp?seq=4110 I think its what we all have been waiting for - Hwang Hee-chan learning under Hwang Sun-hong. Manager Hwang Sun-hong have previously said he wants to develop a striker. We could say that he half-succeeded with Kim Seung-dae although he isn't the exact type Hwang Sun-hong was wanting. But manager Hwang did succeed in fixing/developing Kim Seung-dae's goalscoring abilities - something that Yeungnam coach Kim Byung-soo worried about before letting him go to Pohang Steelers. Hwang Hee-chan is probably more suited to the type of player manager Hwang has been saying. Would like him to teach Hwang Hee-chan to stay in the box more (not that it's terrible right now; but more, the better). Lee Changwon's Pocheol football style is really no different from the current Pohang Steelers, from what I have seen, so adapting won't be a problem. But pro is different to amateurs so we'll have to see.
"I am not too pleased." Manager Hwang Sun-hong was very cold in giving his ratings on youth ace striker Hwang Hee-chan. Pohang U-18 won the 대통령금배 for the first time in 15 years. Pohang youth has been winning 4 major national competitions consecutively since last year and Hwang Hee-chan (18) has been in centre of it. He has shown superior speed, individual skills and aerial skills as a striker. After the Seongnam home match on the 6th manager Hwang met with reporters. He said "I watched the match (대통령금배). Hwang Hee-chan played like a Uni player in his 4th year. There is alot to fix." "Moon Chang-jin or Lee Gwang-hyuk both played very well at school level but is struggling at pro level." manager Hwang highlighted. Hwang Hee-chan is not small at 177cm tall but is not the typical centre forward physique. He said "Hwang Hee-chan is not physically big enough to overwhelm the opposition, so he will need to work really hard. His showing now and team's showing is different. But manager Hwang also showed his affections towards Hwang Hee-chan. Hwang Hee-chan will join Pohang Steelers straight away after graduating and it is expected he will develop more. He said "When he comes to the Pro stage he might face dilemma straight away. If he comes to the pro to fix he will have a valuable time." http://www.sportsseoul.com/?c=v&m=n&i=93594 Just a reminder Hwang Hee-chan was not 100% fit in that match in pouring rain. The commentator said he just came back from ankle injury and was only 70-80% fit.

Suwon tech is heaps good They were very defensive throughout the tournament but they're going at against Pohang. Pohang looks very blunt in attack without Hwang Hee-chan which is something that Lee Chang-won has been saying for a while now. Currently Suwon tech leading 1-0.
