In-beom Hwang

In-beom Hwang of Porto was born in Daejon, Korea Republic on 20 September 1996 (age 29).

In-beom Hwang, born on 20 September 1996 (age 29), is a Korea Republic centre midfielder with Porto. His current market value is around £8.5m, according to Transfermarkt.

His most productive league season came at Red Star in 2023-24, when he scored five goals in 27 appearances. That remains the clearest statistical marker of his attacking return from midfield, without turning him into something he is not.

At Porto in 2026-27, Hwang remains a regular first-team presence. His season includes one Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira appearance and four Europa League appearances, with five appearances in total for the club across all competitions.

He has also stayed heavily involved with Korea Republic, making three World Cup appearances, scoring once, and adding 15 appearances in Asian World Cup qualifying. His career to this point has been shaped by steady club involvement, international reliability, and a midfield role built more on use than noise.
