All three Korean national teams who were looking at the dream stage were eliminated at the last stage.
First of all, Yang Hyun-joon's team, Celtic, drew 0-0 against FC Kairat in the second round of the European Champions League (UCL) final qualifying round at Almaty Central Stadium in Almaty, Kazakhstan, on the 27th (Korea time), but was eliminated after losing 2-3 in the penalty shootout.
It's Celtic only if it's an accident. When the match between Celtic, Scotland's top powerhouse, and Kazakhstan's Khairat, a soccer fringe, was held, everyone predicted Celtic's advance to the UCL finals. However, Khairat showed his potential to end the first leg of the away match at Celtic with a draw, and after an equal match with Celtic at home, he went to the UCL after a penalty shootout.
Yang Hyun-joon of the Korean national team also failed to prevent Celtic from being eliminated. In the first game, he started in the second half and the second game and played 70 minutes, but he failed to show Yang Hyun-jun's strengths. Yang Hyun-jun, who failed to make the UCL finals, showed his recovery in the second half of last season, so he should continue his good performance this season.
Tsurvena Zvezda, where Seol Young-woo is located, also failed to advance to the UCL. On the same day, Zbedna was eliminated in the second round of the UCL final qualifying playoff against papos fc at the alfa mega stadium in colos, Cyprus, in a 1-1 draw. Zvezda couldn't overcome the 1-2 shock loss at home in the first leg.
Seol Young-woo came out full-time in both the first and second games and sought to go to the UCL finals, but unfortunately, his trip to the UCL finals for the second consecutive season was thwarted. After leading Zvezda to the UCL finals, Seol drew a scenario in which he tried to challenge another league in a good mood, but he couldn't achieve what he wanted. Currently, Seol Young-woo is connected to several clubs, including Sheffield United in the English Championship (second division).

Before the final qualifying round, Feyenoord, with Hwang In-beom, failed to overcome Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce and failed to achieve his dream of going to the UCL finals. In the qualifying stage, the worst result was that three Korean national team players were eliminated.
Last season alone, there were six Korean players in the UCL, the best stage in Europe, including Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich) and Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), as well as Hwang In-beom, Seol Young-woo, Yang Hyun-joon and Kim Min-soo (Girona), but only Kim Min-jae and Lee Kang-in will remain this season.
Tottenham brought a ticket to the UCL finals as a Europa League (UEL) winner last season, but Son Heung-min's European competition career was also completed as Son Heung-min left for LA FC.
