Miracle in the World Cup round of 16 as a reserve player.
Every moment was meaningful, but on the day of the group photo, it was sad that there was no uniform number.

“I was a player without a uniform number, and at that moment, I still felt a bit upset. In the next World Cup, ‘I must come wearing a uniform number.'”
But there were colleagues who were with me every time.

“(Cho) Hyun-woo took care of me so much, I think I’m really grateful. (Because I couldn’t participate) he must be having a hard time, but he treated me more brightly and just said, ‘Let’s enjoy this tournament together.’ ‘…”
The time I spent with Son Heung-min is my greatest asset.메이저놀이터

“I think I really thought, ‘It’s different, too.’
The national team players raised their own money and shared some of the reward money that they had not yet received from Oh Hyun-gyu.
“All 26 players raised money and said, ‘We can’t get Hyeon-gyu compensation, so let’s take care of it like this.’ So I didn’t even think about it, but I think I’m really grateful for taking care of it like this.”
Oh Hyun-kyu, who said that he felt a wall so great that he could not even watch the game in the round of 16 against Brazil, tasted both sweet and bitter tastes through this World Cup, and came up with a clear goal.
[Oh Hyun-gyu/ Suwon]
“(Lewandowski) has scored hundreds of goals in the past, but one goal at the World Cup is a really emotional moment for a soccer player… <How many times would you like to get a uniform number if you can go to the World Cup?> I got number 18 I would like to.”
