Hwang In-beom (28), who became a father after having a daughter during the September A-match period, returned to his new team Feyenoord (Netherlands) with happy steps.

Hwang In-beom joined the Feyenoord team on the 12th (Korean time) after completing the first and second matches of Group B in the third round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North and Central America and Asia.

In an interview with the club, when asked about the most memorable moment during this A-match, Hwang In-beom answered, “When I had my daughter.”

He started off by saying, “I’m super happy,” and then smiled, saying, “I can’t express it in words. I was worried about my wife and daughter, but thankfully they’re both healthy.”

Hwang In-beom, who was selected for the newly launched Hong Myung-bo Protection Team, had an unforgettable moment in Korea.

After finishing the first match (0-0 draw) of the third round of the World Cup qualifiers against Palestine at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 5th, he went straight to the hospital and was with his wife as she gave birth to their daughter.

Hwang In-beom, who personally cut the umbilical cord of his first child, said he felt a sense of responsibility as the father. With determination, he started again in the away game against Oman on the 10th and contributed to Korea’s 3-1 victory.

Korea, which won its first game in the third qualifying round, rose to second place in Group B with 1 win and 1 draw (4 points), taking a step closer to advancing to the World Cup finals for the 11th consecutive time.

Hwang In-beom, who left Oman and returned to Feyenoord, is now entering a full-fledged competition to become a regular player for his team.

He left Crvena Zvezda (Serbia) ahead of the European football summer transfer window closing on the 3rd and signed a four-year contract with Feyenoord until 2028. Although the two clubs did not disclose the details of the contract, local media reported that the transfer fee was around 10 million euros.

Feyenoord’s next match, which is expected to be Hwang In-beom’s debut, is an away match against Groningen in the 5th round of the 2024-25 Dutch Eredivisie on the 15th.

Feyenoord are currently in 8th place with 1 win and 2 draws (5 points) this season.
