"I'm holding a ceremony with the idea of ​​gifting goals to grandparents."



Hwang Hee-chan, a national striker who appeared on SBS Joo Young-jin's news briefing today (8th), introduced his ceremony like this. 



Hwang Hee-chan's filial piety towards his grandparents is so special that he has a 'signature ceremony' of kissing the name tattoos of his grandparents on his wrist every time he scores a goal.



Even after he took off his uniform and raised his arms after scoring the come-from-behind goal against Portugal, he did not forget to kiss his wrist.



In an interview in the past, Hwang Hee-chan revealed that he was raised by his grandparents when he was young, and said, "His grandmother and grandfather are everything and everything in his life." 



Hwang Hee-chan, who returned from a brilliant performance at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, was the first person he visited after returning home, as well as his grandparents.

Yesterday, Hwang Hee-chan returned to Korea through Incheon International Airport and was reported to have met his grandparents right after the welcome ceremony. 



In fact, he said, "As soon as I come to Korea, the first people I see are always the grandparents, and the last people I see are the grandparents." 



Four hours after the national team returned home, a photo posted on his SNS showed Hwang Hee-chan wearing a national team training suit sitting next to his grandmother and grandfather. 



In particular, it is noticeable that the 'Player of the Match (Best Player Award)' trophy, which was awarded after Hwang Hee-chan scored a come-from-behind goal against Portugal in the group stage, was held in his grandmother's arms.



In the picture frame behind them, a photo of Hwang Hee-chan's childhood was displayed, and he could feel the warm love between his grandparents and grandchildren.



Meanwhile, Hwang Hee-chan said in a return interview, "I want to improve not only in the national team but also in my team and show a good image." We are going to face off against Lyingham FC.
