The 23 man squad has been selected by Korea Republic (South Korea) coach, Myungbo Hong, ahead of FIFA World Cup 2014 in Brazil.
South Korea will have it all to do to qualify from Group H, which also features Algeria, Belgium and Russia, and looks on paper to be a difficult group, though the kind of spirit which saw them finish a best-ever fourth as co-hosts in World Cup 2002 would easily see them through to the knock-out phase.
