Hwang is nicknamed "Hwangso" (황소), the Korean word for bull, in South Korea due to his aggressive playing style and surname.

Youth career

[edit]

Hwang Hee-chan was born inChuncheon, but his family moved toBucheon right after his birth. They lived there until he was eleven years old.[3]

Hwang started to play football atUijeongbu Singok Elementary School [ko]. In 2008, he scored the most goals in both Hwarangdaegi Tournament and Dongwon Youth Cup, which were South Korean national youth competitions. His strong performance continued in the South Korean national under-12 team. Hwang scored 22 goals in theKanga Cup, setting a new record of the tournament. With outstanding performances in these competitions, he was awarded the grand prize of theCha Bum-kun Football Award, given to the best youth footballers in South Korea.[4]

After graduating from Singok Elementary School, he enteredPohang Jecheol Middle School [ko] and started to play inPohang Steelers under-15 team, the school's affiliated football club. In 2011, his team won the middle school division of the Korean National School League, hosted byKorea Football Association, and Hwang received the MVP award of the competition.[5]

Subsequently, he joinedPohang Jecheol High School [ko] andPohang Steelers under-18 team. In the 2013 K League Junior, contested between youth teams ofK League clubs, he scored 12 goals in 12 games for his team, helping his high school to win the league.[6] Afterwards, in the high school division of the National School League, he once again led Pohang to the title, becoming the MVP in addition to the top scorer.[7]

Club career

[edit]

Red Bull Salzburg

[edit]

In December 2014,Pohang Steelers intended to sign forward Hwang Hee-chan as a homegrown player, but he opted to sign with Austrian clubRed Bull Salzburg.[8] On 3 November 2016, Hwang came off the bench and scored a brace in aEuropa League match for Salzburg against Ligue 1 sideNice, contributing to his team's first Europa win of the campaign.[9] He failed to score in his firstAustrian Bundesliga season.

During the 2017–18 season Salzburg had their best ever European campaign. They finished top of theirUEFA Europa League group for a record fourth time before beatingReal Sociedad andBorussia Dortmund, thus making their first-ever appearance in the competition's quarter-finals.[10] On 12 April, Hwang scored a goal againstLazio, leading a 4–1 victory to proceed to the semi-finals.[11] On 3 May 2018, Hwang played in the second away match of the semi-final, when Salzburg defeatedMarseille by 1–2 but lost on aggregate 3–2.[12] On 31 August 2018, Hwang joinedHamburger SV on a loan deal until the end of the 2018–19 season.[13]

During the2019–20 season, Hwang drew plaudits alongside Salzburg's attacking playersErling Haaland andTakumi Minamino.[14] The trio were particularly praised for their exploits in the Champions League, where Hwang was involved in eight goals by recording three goals and three assists,[15] and winning two penalty kicks.[16][17] His playing style was described as energetic with accurate passing and an eye for dribbling.[18] In all competitions, Hwang had a remarkable season, scoring 16 goals and providing 22 assists in 40 appearances.[19]

RB Leipzig

[edit]

On 8 July 2020, Hwang signed forRB Leipzig on a five-year contract.[20] On 12 September, he scored a goal and created an assist againstNürnberg in the first round of the2020–21 DFB-Pokal, where he made his debut.[21] He helped Leipzig to reach the2021 DFB-Pokal Final by scoring againstVfL Wolfsburg andWerder Bremen, though he was a substitute.[22][23] However, he failed to score in his first German Bundesliga season.

Wolverhampton Wanderers

[edit]

On 29 August 2021, Hwang joinedPremier League sideWolverhampton Wanderers on a season long loan.[24] On 11 September, Hwang scored Wolves' second goal away toWatford on his debut as a second-half substitute in a 2–0 win.[25] He then got his first goals atMolineux on 2 October, as he scored both goals in Wolves' 2–1 win againstNewcastle United, both strikes coming from similarly tight angles.[26] On 26 January 2022, the club announced that they had activated a clause in his loan deal that would see him join the club on a permanent deal on 1 July 2022, upon the expiration of his loan, signing a contract until 2026.[27] He scored five goals in his debut campaign in the Premier League.

Hwang scored his firstFA Cup goal away toLiverpool in the third round of the competition on 7 January 2023, his strike tying the game at 2–2.[28] Wolves then had a third goal disallowed in controversial circumstances, the game ultimately finishing all square.[29] On 30 September, Hwang scored the decisive goal againstManchester City to win the match 2–1 at home to give the 2022–23 Premier League champions their first loss in the 2023–24 season.[30] On 28 October, Hwang scored Wolves's second goal in a 2–2 home draw with Newcastle United, meaning he became the first Wolves player sinceDerek Dougan, fifty years previously, to score six goals in the first ten games of a top-flight season.[31] On 21 December 2023, Hwang signed a new long-term contract with Wolves, keeping him at the club until 2028 with an option for a further year.[32] On 27 December, he scored a brace in a 4–1 away win overBrentford, becoming the third Wolves player to score at least 10 Premier League goals in one season, followingRaúl Jiménez andSteven Fletcher.[33]

In July 2024, during a friendly match withComo 1907, Hwang reportedly heard a racist remark towards him from Como.[34] Como later reported that the remark was calling Hwang "Jackie Chan", who is a Chinese actor that commonly features in Asian stereotypes.[35] Hwang's teammateDaniel Podence reportedly threw a punch in defence of Hwang, which led to Podence receiving a red card. Hwang's team issued a statement of support for him, and filed a complaint to theUEFA.[34][36][37] Como 1907 defended the remark and claimed it was not racist.[35][38]

International career

[edit]

In the2012 AFC U-16 Championship, South Korea was eliminated in the quarter-finals, but Hwang became the top scorer of the tournament with five goals including a hat-trick againstNorth Korea.[39]

Hwang participated in the2016 Summer Olympics and scored a goal in a group match againstGermany, which finished in a 3–3 draw.[40]

In a friendly on 28 March 2018, Hwang scored South Korea's second goal againstPoland, with the match ending in a 2–3 loss.[41]

Hwang represented South Korea in theunder-23 team at the2018 Asian Games where he scored the second and winning goal for South Korea in the 2–1 final against Japan, a goal assisted bySon Heung-min.[42] The tournament win guaranteed Hwang and his teammates exemption frommandatory military service.[43]

In the2018 FIFA World Cup, Hwang started in South Korea's first two matches againstSweden andMexico. He was criticised for not converting a scoring chance against Sweden. He was substituted in forKoo Ja-cheol in the2–0 victory againstGermany, but was brought off after only 20 minutes forGo Yo-han. After the tournament, managerShin Tae-yong expressed remorse for taking off Hwang and explained that it was a tactical decision as Hwang was struggling to help the team on defence.[44]

In the2022 FIFA World Cup, Hwang scored the winning goal in stoppage time againstPortugal to secure a 2–1 win, which helped South Korea advance to the Round of 16,[45] where they were eliminated byBrazil following a 4–1 defeat on 5 December.[46]

Hwang was called up for the2023 AFC Asian Cup, but suffered a hip injury just before the competition.[47] He could not participate in South Korea's first two matches, and played as a substitute in the last group stage match and round of 16.[48] In a 2–1 quarter-final win overAustralia, he scored a penalty equaliser and won a crucial free-kick, which was followed bySon Heung-min's winning goal.[49] He came back to the club after a 2–0 semi-final loss toJordan.[50]
