Hwang In-beom of Tsurvena Zvezda wrote his fourth assist of the season in five games. Hwang In-beom led his team to a 4-1 victory in the fifth round of Serbia's Super Liga in the 2024-2025 season against Chukaritski at Mladost Stadium in Panchevo, Serbia on the 16th (Korea time).
It was the 17th minute of the first half when Zvezda led 1-0. Pitta Olayinka, who received Hwang In-beom's forward pass, dribbled to the left of the penalty arc and fired a strong shot to make it 2-0. With Zvezda's 4-1 victory, Hwang In-beom's help became 'final help'
Hwang has already matched last season's record of four assists since his debut in the Serbian league with his fourth assist of the season. While Hwang In-beom played full-time, left fullback Seol Young-woo, who is eating the same rice, also played on the ground for 90 minutes without replacement.
Seol Young-woo, who left Ulsan HD to join Zvezda in June, has solidified his position as the main player by playing full-time in three consecutive games. Seol Young-woo, who made his European debut through the third round of the league with Textilac, got off to a good start by scoring his debut goal in the second game.

Hwang In-beom's dream of entering the big league is also growing. Hwang In-beom, who left Olympiacos (Greece) in the summer of 2023 and joined Zvezda for his second season, will continue to knock on the door of the big league as he completes his team's schedule.
During the last season, when the team achieved a double league and cup competition, multiple Serbian media reported that Hwang In-beom was connected to England Crystal Palace, Wolverhampton, Spain's Real Betis, Germany's Eintracht Frankfurt, Augsburg, Italy's Bologna and France's Nice.
Zvezda Chairman Zvezdan Terzic said in the middle of last month that he was preparing for the new season "Our biggest hope is that Hwang In-beom remains." It is not necessary to transfer him due to the financial situation, but if the club in Europe's top five leagues reach out and the player is satisfied, they have agreed not to cause problems. Of course, there should be certain compensation,' he said, indicating that Hwang In-beom can be sent if the transfer fee is correct. Zvezda spent 5 million euros, the highest transfer fee ever for the club, to recruit Hwang In-beom.
In an interview with the A-match schedule in June, Hwang In-beom said, `I always want to compete at a higher level. I didn't give up my dream as a player. It's not easy to transfer, so I might stay in the team, but I won't hesitate if I get a chance"He did not hide his willingness to enter the big leagues.
