Seol Young-woo

Seol Young-woo (born 5 December 1998) is a South Korean professional footballer who plays as a full-back for Serbian SuperLiga club Red Star Belgrade and the South Korea national team.

International career
Seol was called up for the South Korea national team for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup. He underachieved in the group stage, and conceded a penalty against Malaysia. He provided an accurate cross, assisting Cho Gue-sung's equalising header in second-half stoppage time of the round of 16 match against Saudi Arabia. He showed tremendous workrate by moving 15.54 km in the quarter-final match against Australia and was selected for the team of the matchday after the match, although he took a rest for only two days after the round of 16. South Korea was eliminated in the semi-finals by Jordan, but found solace in a new talented full-back.

Style of play
Seol had played as a winger until his university days, but changed his role to a full-back at the start of his professional career. He is a right-footed full-back, but could be deployed on both left and right flank.
