Italy's Theta Porta reported on the 28th (Korea time) 'Pisa is watching Korean national team fullback Hwang Jae-won with interest'
Thetaforta said 'Pisa is watching the overseas player to reinforce the right side. It is Hwang Jae-won, a defender of the Korean national team. Lee is watching with Pisa's proposal, and the club has also devoted its time to evaluating Hwang Jae-won's qualities and chances of joining. There is no formal progress yet, but negotiations are open and concrete. It's not just a player in name. He already played for the senior team and was a member of the Korean national team at the Asian Games.'
He is already exempted from military service, fast, aggressive, and physically excellent, and is accustomed to competing at a high level in the Korean K League. Pisa's interest may also be taking into account its opening as an emerging market that can also provide commercial opportunities. Hwang Jae-won can play as a wing in both the midfielder area and defense. 'It's not just a suggestion to keep an eye on the profile and bring a player who has built a reputation in Asia to Serie A.'"

Among them, Hwang Jae-won is the player who has emerged as a candidate. Hwang Jae-won made his professional debut in 2022 wearing a Daegu FC uniform and quickly settled down. With his outstanding performance, he was immediately nominated for the K League 1 Young Player Award. Hwang Jae-won, who proved his value on the professional stage as a wingback at three backs, is a versatile resource that can be played by left fullback and central midfielder depending on the situation. It is evaluated that aggressive talent, game management ability, and defense are all stable. The possibility of advancing to Europe has already been discussed several times as it stood out at the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games.
If Hwang Jae-won joins Serie A Pisa, he could become the fourth Korean player to join the Serie A club after Ahn Jung-hwan, Lee Seung-woo and Kim Min-jae. Moreover, if Hwang Jae-won plays once again on the stage where Kim Min-jae was active as a defender, Serie A clubs' evaluation of Korean defenders could be further raised. Attention is also focusing on whether another European fullback can be added to the Korean national team after Seol Young-woo.
