The national soccer team, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, beat the "refugee" Iraq to win three consecutive World Cup qualifiers.
Young strikers such as Oh Hyun-kyu and Bae Jun-ho filled the vacancy without captain Son Heung-min.

Hong Myung-bo laughed first with Oh Se-hoon's first goal in a home showdown between Korea and Iraq, which had an unbeaten World Cup qualifier.
Oh Se-hoon, who was selected as a front-line striker, finally scored in his fourth A-match.
Bae Jun-ho, the 21-year-old youngest who started on the left wing that Son Heung-min was defending, made an impression with assists for two consecutive games following the match against Jordan.
In the fifth minute of the second half, coach Hong Myung-bo's replacement card briefly allowed the tie by missing Hussein, the "No. 1 guard."Moon Seon-min, who put in the act
, saved the ball with grit, added Lee Jae-sung's fighting spirit, and Oh Hyun-kyu shook the net.
Oh Hyun-kyu, a striker born in 2001, scored in two consecutive games.
At the end of the second half, veteran Lee Jae-sung also flashed again following the match against Jordan, sealing the victory.
As captain Son Heung-min won two consecutive A matches in October without him, Hong Myung-bo strengthened his "monopoly system" with 3 wins and 1 draw and 10 points in the World Cup qualifying round.

Above all, it is encouraging that a healthy generational change began with young blood, starting with Lee Kang-in, who has been reborn as an ace.

However, the chronic defensive anxiety of dedicating two goals, so-called "Finding Kim Min-jae's partner," remains a challenge.
Hong Myung-bo, who had a clear result in two games in October, which was considered the biggest watershed, will play away matches against Kuwait and Palestine next month.
