Career

Club

Hwang signed with Daejeon Citizen in 2015. He scored his first goal in a league match against Pohang Steelers on 30 May and became the youngest scorer in Daejeon Citizen history.[2]

On 30 January 2019, Hwang joined Major League Soccer side Vancouver Whitecaps FC as a Young Designated Player on a two-year contract, with club options for the 2021 and 2022 seasons.[3] He made his debut for the Whitecaps against Minnesota United on 2 March,[4] and scored his first goal for the side in a 1–0 win over Los Angeles FC on 17 April.[5]

International

At the 2018 Asian Games, Hwang played a vital role in South Korea winning the Gold Medal.[6] As a reward, he was discharged from Asan Mugunghwa less than halfway through his military service and returned to Daejeon Citizen.[1] He made his senior international debut in September 2018, and later that year, he scored his first senior international goal in a 2–2 friendly home draw against Panama on 16 October.[7]

Style of play

J.J. Adams of The National Post noted that Hwang "can play centrally or on the wing, but thrives as an attacking mid — a box-to-box No. 8. He’s known for precision passing, aggressive tackling, possession composure and a willingness to take on defenders with the ball at his feet".[8]
