Inbeom Hwang craved Korean food: “Will he know he's a hero for ever?” | OneFootball

Inbeom Hwang, the South Korean midfielder for FC Porto, has been making the most of his first few days in the Invicta while preparing for his family’s arrival, taking the opportunity to explore the city. The player has shared several pictures of downtown Porto on social media, but this time it was some fans who posted photos alongside the footballer. And they were not anonymous admirers.

The incident took place after Hwang Inbeom visited a South Korean restaurant in the Greater Porto area. One of the people in charge of the establishment described the moment on her personal page, highlighting the impact the player’s presence had on the family and staff.

“Hwang Inbeom came to our restaurant today!! Ever since Seungeun heard that Hwang Inbeom had been transferred to FC Porto, she repeated more than ten times, ‘If he ever comes to the restaurant, you absolutely have to call me!’ And today… that day really came!! As soon as I called her, she came running in less than 5 minutes. She was almost out of breath, her face completely red, sweating as if it were raining. (He was eating alone, so we didn’t want to disturb him. The children stayed very quiet, keeping their distance and out of sight.) After he finished his meal and when it was time to pay, our family asked for a photo, and we also wanted to take one with the staff. I asked Seungeun to take the picture, but she was so nervous that her hands were shaking — it ended up looking like a ghost photo. Honestly, I had already heard many stories about how kind he is wherever he goes, but after meeting him in person, I completely understood why. Right until the end, he was super approachable and kindly agreed to take photos with us — I’m truly very grateful. Does Hwang Inbeom know this? That today he became an unforgettable lifelong hero to a child,” it reads.
