Following March, the Korean A-team will set up another A-match schedule in June as an interim coach. Kim Do-hoon (54), former Ulsan HD coach, will be the interim coach this time. With the change of coach, chances are high that the A-team will be selected in a surprise move.

The Korean national soccer team will play the 5th to 6th rounds of Group C of the second qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA North-Central America World Cup in Asia. The Korean team will leave for an away match in Singapore on the 6th of next month and then face China at home on the 11th. "I have decided to play Korean soccer," coach Kim Do-hoon said. "I will prepare well with our players so that we can achieve good results."

The list of players for June will be announced on the morning of the 27th. A surprise star could come out. In March, Joo Min-gyu (Ulsan HD), Jung Ho-yeon (Gwangju FC), and Lee Myung-jae (Ulsan HD) enjoyed the first impressive performance of the A-team under interim coach Hwang Sun-hong. Despite being the top scorer in the K League 1, Joo Min-gyu was shunned by former coaches Paulo Bento and Jurgen Klinsman. Thanks to interim coach Hwang Sun-hong's opportunity, he wore the national flag of his dreams at a home game against Thailand in March.

K-League hotstar Jung Ho-yeon made his debut with the national team at a young age, and Lee Myung-jae experienced the national team with his teammate Joo Min-gyu at the late age of 30. Despite being unfortunately absent due to his injury, flanker Eom Won-sang (Ulsan HD) also made the roster of call-ups and almost made his return to the national team in two years. As such, chances are high that new players will be given opportunities depending on the coach.

Attention is focusing on who will become the new face of Team Kim Do-hoon. Bae Jun-ho, who showed an outstanding performance at the Stoke City Championship in the English Championship, is also mentioned as a name. After joining the Stoke team in the summer of the 2023-2024 season, Bae immediately became the ace. He garnered two goals and five assists in 38 Championship League matches. As a result, the Scot ended the season ranking 17th (56 points) in the league by winning the bloody remaining competition. The Scot had fierce competition with Birmingham City (50 points), ranking 22nd overall, which was demoted.

Bae Jun-ho was chosen as Stoke's 2023-2024 Player of the Year, which was determined through a fan vote. He was also named the Player of the Month in February and March. Not only Stoke local media but also Stoke fans left comments on the club's SNS, lavishing praise on Bae.

In the K-League, Korean Messi's Lee Seung-woo has displayed impressive scoring pace. He has scored six goals and two assists even though he was substituted mostly in the second half of the season and received limited playing time. In terms of scoring, he is tied for fifth in the league. Lee already has experience playing for the A-team. However, he has not been able to play with the national team for a long time. Hwang Seon-hong, the coach of the Korean national team, also said, "I had a lot of thoughts," but did not call for Lee.

Lee Seung-woo has expressed his desire to join the national team several times. Attention is focusing on whether he will be able to achieve his dream this time. In addition, Kangwon FC striker Lee Sang-hun is drawing attention as he ranks first in scoring with eight goals.

Meanwhile, Korea is competing with Thailand, China, and Singapore as it is in Group C of the second qualifying round for the North and Central America World Cup. The team is leading the group with three wins and one draw (10 points), but China (seven points) and Thailand (four points) are continuing to trail each other. We need to win.
