Jeon Jin-woo, who rose to 'No. 1 in K League 1 scoring'...Should I put on the first national flag in my life

Attention is focusing on whether Jeon Jin-woo (26), a Jeonbuk Hyundai striker in the K-League 1, will be able to wear the national flag for the first time in his career.
The South Korean men's soccer team, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, will unveil the list of Taegeuk Warriors to play in the ninth round of the 2026 FIFA North-China World Cup Asian qualifiers against Iraq (away, June 6) and the 10th match against Kuwait (home, June 10).
South Korea, which is currently leading Group B in the preliminary round with four wins and four draws (16 points), can confirm its advance to the World Cup finals for the 11th consecutive time by adding just 1 point from the two A matches this June.
As a result, coach Hong is expected to not make much changes in the A match list in June and maintain the existing framework that has continued since the A match in November last year.
There is a possibility that a new face will be selected.
Jeon Jin-woo, who shows off his improved performance this season, is the main character.
Jun Jin-woo, a former member of the K League 2 Suwon Samsung Youth, took the professional stage wearing a Suwon uniform in 2018.
Except for his time in Sangmu, he played six seasons as a member of Suwon alone, but he did not perform well in line with the expectations he received when he was a youth.
In 2022, he even changed his name from Jeon Se-jin to Jeon Jin-woo and tried to shake off the slump, but it was not very helpful to his former team.
As a member of Suwon, he only scored nine goals and six assists in 86 games in K League 1.
In the first half of the 2024 season, when the team was relegated to the K League 2, there was only one goal and one assist in 16 games.
However, Jeon Jin-woo, who is still young and has a lot of potential, moved to Jeonbuk last summer.
Preheated by spending his first season in Jeonbuk, he is playing as the core of the team this season.
He is showing off his sharpness by scoring with various body parts such as both feet and headers.
Jeonbuk suffered a slump going to the promotion playoff (PO) for the first time in the club's history last season, but it is competing at the top of the league thanks to Jeon Jin-woo's scoring procession.
In particular, Jeon Jin-woo scored multiple goals in the match against FC Anyang on the 17th, becoming the first K League 1 player to score double-digit (10 goals) this season.

Coach Hong visited the site of the match against Anyang, and he personally confirmed Jeon Jin-woo's performance.
European players such as Son Heung-min (Tottenham) and Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain) are holding on to the second term of the national team, but Jeon Jin-woo, who can play the entire front line and is in good condition, may be selected as a surprise.
Jeon Jin-woo has played for the U-20 national team and the U-23 national team, but has never been called up to the A national team.
