The Korean national team, led by coach Hwang Seon-hong, will play the final against Japan at 9 p.m. (Korean time) on the 7th at the Huanglong Sports Center Stadium in Hangzhou, China.

Among the national team players, those who are active in Europe include Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), Jung Woo-young (Stuttgart), Hong Hyun-seok (KAA Gent), and Park Gyu-hyun (Dinamo Dresden).

Lee Kang-in's team, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), is paying close attention to the results of the game.

One PSG fan pointed out, "If Korea wins this time, Lee Kang-in won't have to serve two years in his country," and another fan account posted a video of Lee Kang-in playing and cheered, "I look forward to when he comes to PSG again."

On the same day, starting midfielder Hong Hyun-seok's team, Belgium's KAA Gent, also shared the news through its official account that "Korea defeated Uzbekistan and will play the Asian Games final against Japan on Saturday."

Comments on the post included, “I want to see him continue playing instead of serving in the military,” “Korea should win this time,” and “Return to the club quickly.”

In particular, local fans are paying attention to the military service exemption that comes with winning a gold medal.

In Germany, local sports media directly mentioned the Asian Games. Kicker, a German soccer media outlet, analyzed in an article titled ‘Wooyoung Jung, who led Korea to the final, why Stuttgart is lucky,’ that “if Korea wins the final, the club also benefits.”

The media said, "Jung Woo-young gains a sense of accomplishment and confidence (by winning the Asian Games).

Also, if he is exempted from military service by winning the tournament in addition to the medal, the club and his teammates will be anxious."
