Before the Paraguay match, Hwang In-beom said, “We suffered a huge defeat against Brazil, but what the staff and hyungs talked about when we were preparing for the match against Chile is that there is no team that does not suffer such a loss, but how we react will be what we will do. That is what a strong team can show. Anyway, Chile lacked one player, but it was positive because it brought a good result of 2-0. It would be nice to see a scene that complements the shortcomings in the last two matches against Chile, and for the fans, I think we should try to finish with a win in the remaining matches.” He said he was determined.
Hwang In-beom, who played with the Taegeuk mark in Daejeon for the first time in four years after playing at the Daejeon World Cup Stadium as a member of Daejeon Citizen (predecessor to Daejeon Hana Citizen) in November 2018, said, “I played in Daejeon after a long time.

Before moving to Seoul, he met with Daejeon fans to explain the situation, ask for understanding and convey his apologies.
Hwang In-beom said at the time of joining Seoul, “As you know, Daejeon and I are inseparable. So when I decided to return to Korea, I thought a lot, but after conversations with agents, family and acquaintances that it is right to return to the first part, I made a decision. It wasn’t my situation to make a choice for my own benefit.”
He continued, “I didn’t want to create a misunderstanding with the Daejeon fans. When I chose a team, I didn’t decide which K League 1 team to go to at the time. It would hurt if I showed the transfer to any team through a press release. It seemed like there would be a misunderstanding. We met first with that judgment.”

Hwang In-beom said, “We prepared well and tried to win the match in Sangam (Brazil), but the opponent was so strong that it was a pity that we couldn’t show everything we had prepared. We made good memories in both Sangam and Daejeon.” Through this, I was able to make a decision when I had to make a decision with confidence about my future. The remaining two matches will also be held in Suwon and Sangam, and I will do my best to bring good performances and results for the fans who come.” .
