There is a possibility that Cho Kyu-sung (27, Mit Willan), a former national team striker who has been revived as an icon of revival without the title of "Flower Boy Striker", will rejoin Hong Myung-bo.
This is because Denmark's Super Liga recognized Cho Kyu-sung's revival. It was proved that Cho Kyu-sung overcame long rehabilitation and fully recovered from a knee injury to regain his skills.
Cho Kyu-sung was selected as the best 11 striker in the 13th round of the 2025-2026 season by the Danish Superlaga Secretariat on the 29th (Korea time). The Super Liga secretariat named Cho Kyu-sung as one of the two-top strikers in the best 11, which consists of a 4-4-2 formation. Cho Kyu-sung's selection of the best 11 is his first victory since returning from injury.

This is thanks to Cho Kyu-sung's steady goal and re-emerging skills in his heyday. Cho Kyu-sung started as a side striker in the 13th round of the 2025-2026 season away to Fredericia at Monyasa Park in Fredericia, Denmark, on the 26th and scored a net in the 34th minute of the first half when he was leading 1-0. He pushed a cross from the right side into the net with a right-footed volley shot.
It was Cho's fourth goal this season. Earlier, Cho Kyu-sung proved that his condition has risen to the top by scoring two goals in the regular league and one goal in the cup. In addition, Cho Kyu-sung played until full-time and announced that he had no physical and physical problems.

It is simply the sample of human victory. Cho Kyu-sung had knee surgery ahead of last season, but he couldn't play in the season at all due to negative factors such as complications. Cho Kyu-sung's presence, which emerged as a star of the 2022 Qatar World Cup while struggling to rehabilitate, slowly faded.
It was impossible to select the national team in a situation where he could not even play in his team's game. Coach Hong Myung-bo did not mention Cho Kyu-sung at all.
However, as Cho Kyu-sung recovered from his injury this season, the possibility of re-issuing Hong Myung-bo began to be discussed. In the A match against Brazil and Paraguay in October, the possibility of Cho Kyu-sung's re-issuance also emerged. However, Hong did not call Cho Kyu-sung at the time. This was due to concerns that long-distance travel could strain the knee. In addition, there was a lack of solid proof of his ability to recover.

However, Cho Kyu-sung scored a goal as if to watch and played until full-time. And he was proudly listed in the league's best 11. There is no reason not to give coach Hong a chance. Coach Hong also reportedly flew to Denmark to meet Cho Kyu-sung's condition and watched his fourth goal of the season on the spot.
The Korean national team will play A matches against Bolivia and Ghana in November. Cho Kyu-sung's test stage is perfect. You just have to join them first and evaluate whether they will play in the 2026 North American World Cup. Attention is focusing on whether coach Hong will bring out Cho Kyu-sung's card again.
