Hwang Ui-jo has been called up to the national team since the incident began in June of this year, and has participated in all six A matches in September, October, and November.

In particular, public opinion boiled over when he was used as a substitute in the away game in China on the 21st, even though it was known that he had been questioned by the police as a suspect after the 2026 North and Central America World Cup qualifier home game against Singapore held in Seoul on the 16th of this month.
