One-off marketing exercise. I guess if enough Korean fans buy the merchandise they might do it again.
Tied for 6 in Ligue 1 in goals with 3 and has 2 assists. Not bad for someone transitioning to one of the top leagues in the world

More importantly, it worked very well . The korean sports news outlets were going on and on about Bordeaux playing with Korean jerseys for the whole week.

Yes and a Korean guy from HUJ's fanclub said Hwang is better than Son (lol). It did not go unnoticed apparently. I wouldn't be surprised that in this Fanclub some of these guys insulted Hwang when he was chosen instead of Suk at the AG back then

Out at 70'. Pretty poor today, especially his off-the-ball movement and first touch. It's official. Bordeaux has to wear Korean-labelled uniforms for the whole season so Hwang will play well like he did against Nantes.
Up to 3rd position on the table. https://www.google.com/search?clien...le#sie=lg;/g/11fjzc6g42;2;/m/044hxl;st;fp;1;;
