Hwang Ui-jo, who is on trial for 'illegal filming charges', will maintain his career abroad.
Alan Yaspor of Turkiye said on the 12th (Korean time) 'Hwang Ui-jo will stay with us for two more years. 'The club has extended the contract of South Korean striker Hwang Ui-jo, who has expired, by two years' the club officially announced. Hwang Ui-jo's contract with Alanyaspor expired on June 30, but the signing of a new contract will extend the time spent by the team.
Hwang Ui-jo joined Girondin Bordeaux, a member of the French Ligue 1, in 2019 and played an active role. In particular, it received great attention when the team was relegated despite having 11 league goals in the 2021-2022 season. Hwang Ui-jo rejected the interest of Ligue 1 clubs at the time and chose to transfer to Nottingham Forest in the English Premier League (EPL).
However, Hwang Ui-jo did not even make his debut in Nottingham and failed to step on the EPL stage of his dream. He then spent his loan spell at Olympiacos (Greece), FC Seoul and Norwich City (England), and later joined Alanyaspor. Hwang Ui-jo, who scored only one goal in eight games in his first season, scored seven goals and one assist in 33 games in the 2024-2025 season. It was the second-highest scoring record in the team. Alan Yaspor eventually signed Hwang Ui-jo's contract. Hwang Ui-jo is already reportedly participating in pre-season training for Alanyaspor.

Hwang Ui-jo admitted all of the charges through his lawyer at the first hearing on charges of violating the Act on Special Cases of Sexual Violence Punishment (filming using cameras, etc.) on October 16 last year. He was later convicted of illegal filming in February. At that time, Judge Lee Yong-je of the Seoul Central District Court sentenced Hwang Ui-jo, who was accused of violating the Sexual Violence Punishment Act (filming using cameras, etc.), to one year in prison and two years of probation. At that time, the prosecution's sentence was four years, but the court sentenced it to two years. He was also ordered to take 200 hours of community service and 40 hours of lectures on sexual violence treatment. However, considering the criminal history and the risk of recidivism, the need to disclose personal information or restrict employment was not imposed.
At the time of the first hearing, Hwang Ui-jo made a final statement saying, `I sincerely apologize to those who were affected by my mistake. I deeply apologize to everyone who cared for me and supported me for the disappointment caused by the wrong behavior. Taking this as a mirror, I will not do anything wrong in the future and live my life as a soccer player"I earnestly ask for the utmost leniency only this time around." However, Hwang Ui-jo decided to appeal against the results of the first trial.

I don't think I can even wear the national flag. Hwang Ui-jo was controversial at the time of the first controversy when manager Jurgen Klinsmann replaced him, but the Korea Football Association's ethics committee later drew a line in the controversy by saying that it would not select Hwang Ui-jo.
Hwang Ui-jo, who has renewed his contract with Alan Yaspor, will be able to continue his career abroad. However, if there is no additional extension after the expiration of the contract, it is unclear whether another team will be able to be found in the future.
