The first Korean derby of the 2024-25 Championship season saw Eom Ji-sung’s Swansea City and Bae Jun-ho’s Stoke City battle to a goalless draw. Both midfielders started the match but were unable to make a decisive impact before joining the Korean national team for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Despite Swansea’s 19 shots and Stoke’s 10, neither team could break the deadlock. As the Championship pauses for the international break, Eom and Bae head into national duty in solid form, offering manager Hong Myung-bo versatile options in the absence of Son Heung-min.

Stoke City midfielder Bae Jun-ho received his first call-up to the senior national team on Monday, joining six other newcomers under interim manager Kim Do-hoon for two 2026 World Cup qualifiers in June. At 20, Bae is the only new midfielder in the 23-member roster, having earned his spot after an impressive 2023-24 Championship season with two goals and five assists in 38 matches. FC Machida Zelvia forward Oh Se-hoon, 25, also received his first senior team call-up, boasting six goals in 16 J1 League matches as of Monday.

The defense sees four new additions: Ha Chang-rae from Nagoya Grampus, Park Seung-wook from Gimcheon Sangmu, Hwang Jae-won from Daegu FC, and Choi Jun from FC Seoul. They join returning defenders Kwon Kyung-won of Suwon FC, Cho Yu-min of Sharjah FC, Kim Jin-su of Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors, and Lee Myung-jae of Ulsan. Bayern Munich defender Kim Min-jae is absent due to a left ankle injury, and regular fullback Seol Young-woo of Ulsan is also missing as he rehabilitates a shoulder injury.
