Attributes (grouped)

Mobility

Acceleration62

Still sharp over the first steps but burst has faded from his Bordeaux peak. (conf 0.6)

Agility64

Neat swivels in the box and quick half-turns to open shooting angles. (conf 0.55)

Stamina63

Sustains channel running for most of a match at Turkish top-flight tempo. (conf 0.55)

Control

First touch68

Reliable chest and instep control that lets him link with midfield runners. (conf 0.6)

Holds the ball up decently against centre-backs despite modest frame. (conf 0.55)

Clean, early striker of the ball with either foot from central zones. (conf 0.6)

Distribution

Tidy lay-offs and one-twos around the penalty area. (conf 0.55)

Willing first presser who curves runs onto centre-backs. (conf 0.5)

Scouting Report & Player Insights

Hwang Ui-jo is a veteran South Korean centre-forward now at Alanyaspor in the Turkish Süper Lig, valued for intelligent penalty-box movement and clean two-footed finishing rather than physical dominance. His peak came at Gamba Osaka and Bordeaux, where his darting runs and early striking made him a consistent Ligue 1 scorer. Struggles at Nottingham Forest and on loan in England preceded a move to Turkey, where he serves as an experienced attacking option.

Top scorer for South Korea at the 2018 Asian Games, where the team won gold.

Scored regularly for Bordeaux across multiple Ligue 1 seasons after joining from Gamba Osaka.

Represented South Korea at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

His South Korea career effectively ended after a 2024 criminal conviction for illicit filming.
