The 'Daejeon Three Musketeers', who started side by side for the first time in the Hong Myung-bo, is actively playing against Iraq.

A national team coach Hong Myung-bo made Bae Joon-ho (Stoke City) the first starter in the fourth Group B match of the 2026 North-China World Cup Asia 3rd qualifying round against Iraq at 8 p.m. on the 15th at Yongin Mir Stadium in Gyeonggi Province. Hwang Hee-chan and Um Ji-sung, who were injured in Jordan's away game, are unable to play. Bae Jun-ho, who scored one goal and one assist in three A matches, stepped up as the successor of Captain Son Heung-min. Oh Se-hoon (Mancha) stood on the one-top, Bae Joon-ho and Lee Jae-sung (Mainz) and Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain) stood on the second line.

With Bae Joon-ho starting, three "Sons of Daejeon" including midfielder Hwang In-beom (Feyenoord) and handsome defender Cho Yoo-min (Al Sharjah) were listed in the best 11 side by side for the first time. Not only Daejeon fans but also K League fans love 'Sons of Daejeon' visit Daejeon in the offseason without fail. Hwang In-beom and Cho Yoo-min, who were born in 1996, also visited Daejeon Hana Citizen's Gwangju FC home stadium on June 22 this year. It was not just watching, but he met Daejeon fans through fan signing events and donated uniforms. On the news of his brothers' visit to his home, Bae Joon-ho, who is from Daejeon and is active as a key player in Stoke City, also rushed down to Daejeon at the end of the month. Hwang In-beom is a former Daejeon Youth and set foot on the professional stage through Daejeon Citizen, and is a 'true' Daejeon man with the Taegeuk mark. Cho Yoo-min played for Suwon FC and played for two years after wearing the Daejeon uniform in 2022, leading the promotion of Daejeon with the captain's armband and was also selected for the national team. Fans who confirmed the simultaneous appearance of the three Daejeon warriors after the announcement of the lineup against Iraq expressed their expectations by continuing the comments 'Bae Jun-ho, Hwang In-beom, Cho Yoo-min ♥'. And the Daejeon Three Musketeers lived up to expectations,

In the 40th minute of the first half, when the score was 0-0 due to the strong pressure unique to Iraq, the starting point of the first goal was Hwang In-beom. Hwang In-beom's long pass aimed at the back space was delivered to Seol Young-woo's toes in 'right fullback', and Bae Joon-ho took over Seol Young-woo's cross. After Bae Joon-ho reached out and took over the ball, he handed a kill pass exactly under the feet of frontline Oh Se-hoon, and Oh Se-hoon calmly shook the net. He once again proved that he is the ace who will lead the next generation of Korean soccer by scoring one goal and two assists in four A matches with the help of Bae Jun-ho, the youngest player in Daejeon, born in 2003.
