Speaking of Hwang In-Beom, remember Suk, FC Porto’s Korean pioneer

Suk Hyun-jun wrote his name into FC Porto’s history by becoming, in January 2016, the first South Korean player to wear the Dragons’ shirt.

The forward moved to the Dragão after an outstanding first half of the season at Vitória de Setúbal, where his performances in the Portuguese league caught the attention of the Porto side. With a strong physical presence and the ability to play with his back to goal, Suk emerged as another option for the blue and white attack.
