No. 47. Now, it has established itself as a back number that the Korean soccer community is paying attention to. The number that Kangwon FC brought to light has proved to be a "brand" as it is currently No. 47 owner Shin Min-ha (20), following Yang Hyun-joon (23) and Yang Min-hyuk (19, Queen's Park Rangers).
Yang Hyun-joon and Yang Min-hyuk, Gangwon's seniors and juniors, were summoned by Hong Myung-bo, the national soccer team's coach, on the 10th. Both have joined the senior national team before, but this is the first time they have been selected at the same time. Yang played for Gangwon until July 2023, and Yang Min-hyuk played for the last season. There is a possibility that they will see each other's teamwork for the first time in the national team.
Yang, who made his professional debut in Gangwon Province last year, took over the 47th role that his senior player Yang Hyun-joon played for. He scored 12 goals and six assists in all 38 league matches, leading him to the runner-up, the best record in the club's history. Yang used this number because Yang Hyun-jun, who played for Gangwon Province, was an idol.
As the success story of the players who wore No. 47 continued, Kim Byeong-ji, Gangwon's representative, vowed to give the back number to "Ace," a young player. He began "branding" No. 47. Kim handed the number to Shin Min-ha, the center back, before the start of the 2025 season.
Shin Min-ha, who joined Gangwon in 2024, is one year older than Yang. Although he might have been overshadowed by Yang, Shin also made his presence known by playing in 20 league games last season. Shin, who recently participated in the AFC U-20 Asian Cup in 2025, joined the U-22 national team on the day Yang and Yang were selected. Shin is two years older than him. "Shin is a talent who will join the adult national team in the future," said Kim Byung-ji, the head of the team.
As former and incumbent Gangwon No. 47 wore the national flag on the same day, the brand value of this number has grown even more. Fans reacted to the news that Shin Min-ha was selected as the U-22 national team, saying, "Our 47th." As Shin Min-ha also stood out early following Yang Hyun-joon and Yang Min-hyuk, the perception that "47th = awesome" was imprinted.
Shin Min-ha, who has continued the success story of No.47, said through this newspaper, "When I first received the number, I felt a little bit of pressure. Now I feel more responsibility than pressure," adding, "I am grateful that fans love the number and I want to repay it. I will try to meet the expectations."
One day, I dream of a day when Gangwon's "Trio No. 47" will lead the Korean national soccer team. Shin Min-ha said, "Minhyuk (Yang) or Hyun-jun (Yang) who previously wore No. 47 went to the senior national team. I also believe that if I take it one step further, I will someday reach the A national team. 먹튀검증 I will do my best where I am now."
So far, Gangwon's "No.47 Project" has been successful. This number seems to be a special number for prospects who have grown up after seeing them beyond Gangwon. In addition, if Shin Min-ha continues its momentum, it will be an example that can inspire other clubs.
