South Korea Suspend Striker Hwang Ui-jo Over illegal Video Investigation
Hwang Ui-jo represented South Korea at the Qatar World Cup 2022
Hwang is being probed for filming his former partner on his phone without consent and sharing the video on social media.
Striker Hwang Ui-jo has been suspended by South Korea seven weeks before the Asian Cup because of a police investigation into allegations he illegally filmed an ex-girlfriend.
The Norwich City forward is accused of filming a sexual encounter with the former partner on his phone without consent and sharing the video on social media. He denies the allegation.
Hwang played for South Korea in two World Cup qualifiers this month, scoring a penalty against Singapore, but the Korea Football Association (KFA) on Tuesday suspended him pending the outcome of police investigations.
The 31-year-old remains able to play for English second-tier club Norwich and scored in a 3-2 defeat at Watford on Tuesday.
“Until a definitive conclusion is drawn, we have decided to exclude Hwang from the national team,” a KFA statement.
Lee Youn-nam, who heads the KFA’s ethics committee, told reporters that national players must conduct themselves “with a high degree of morality and responsibility”.
“Considering the fact that the player is being investigated as a suspect, it is difficult for him to carry out normal national team activities,” Lee said.
“Football fans have high expectations for the national team, [so] we have deemed it inappropriate to select Hwang Ui-jo for the national team.”
Hwang, who is on loan at Norwich from Nottingham Forest, has scored 19 goals in 62 appearances for South Korea.
Coach Jurgen Klinsmann said in a statement issued by the KFA: “I fully understand the current situation and will respect the decision of the Korea Football Association.”
Klinsmann picked Hwang for recent World Cup qualifying wins over Singapore and China, after the police had begun their probe, and defended his decision at the time.
“There is always speculation,” said the German World Cup winner after returning from the 3-0 win over China in Shenzhen last week.
“Until there’s nothing proven… I don’t believe it.”
The Asian Cup kicks off in Qatar on January 12, with South Korea opening their campaign against Bahrain three days later.
The renewed agreement reinforces the longstanding partnership between the artist and the label. It positions Chadreek for the next phase of his career with enhanced support across music production, distribution, marketing, and international expansion.
Known for his smooth vocal delivery and consistent output, Chadreek has steadily cultivated a dedicated following through standout records including Ori Mi (featuring Seyi Vibez), Better Dayz, Awure, and his earlier project No Bad Vibe. The renewed deal is expected to accelerate his momentum as he prepares new music and broadens his presence across Africa and global markets.
A source close to the camp confirmed that both parties are fully aligned on a clear vision for the artist’s next chapter, with a strong emphasis on high-quality releases and strategic growth.
This renewal marks another significant milestone in Chadreek’s journey as he continues to establish his place within the Afrobeats landscape.
