Hwang Hee-chan goes to the departure hall in short sleeves
Mentioned online that “the padding was torn by a fan”
The agency dismissed the “happening at the airport”
While Hwang Hee-chan (26, Wolverhampton) of the Korean national soccer team left for Spain to return to his team, attention is focused on why he went to the departure hall in short sleeves.
Hwang Hee-chan boarded a plane to Spain at 0:15 am on the 11th at Incheon International Airport on the night of the 10th, accompanied by his close teammates Kim Min-jae (Napoli) and Baek Seung-ho (Jeonbuk) and about 100 fans.
On this day, Hwang Hee-chan appeared at the departure hall matching Saint Laurent glossy padding with a Nike dunk. He received various gifts such as dolls and letters from fans gathered at the airport, and did not spare fan service by shaking hands and signing autographs.
However, Hwang Hee-chan, who was wearing padding until the interview in front of the reporters, appeared in short sleeves at the departure hall, arousing curiosity.
Afterwards, a fan’s review was posted on Twitter, a social network service (SNS) at the time Hwang Hee-chan boarded the plane.
Fan A wrote, “I heard that Hwang Hee-chan’s glossy padding is a product of Saint Laurent and costs about 3 million won.” “The girls tore it up, but Hwang Hee-chan just smiled and signed everything and left the country in short sleeves, so I cried.”
However, other fans who were actually at the scene denied the rumor, saying in the comments, “There were so many guards and cameras, but it makes no sense that the clothes were torn. It’s not true.”
In response to this, Hwang Hee-chan’s agency responded on the phone with Hankyung.com to the effect that the clothes were not actually torn, saying, “It was an incident that happened at the airport.”
In fact, from the moment Hwang Hee-chan entered Incheon Airport, several guards continued to follow him. In particular, the numerous reporters’ cameras did not capture the fans hanging out while holding on to Hwang Hee-chan.
On the other hand, Hwang Hee-chan, who made a big success on the big stage of the World Cup, now competes for Wolverhampton. He suffered difficulties, such as only appearing in 3 games as a starter until the World Cup break, but as coach Hulen Lopetegui took the new helm, Hwang Hee-chan was able to compete for the starting position from the starting point.
