"Hong Myung-bo is interested" Castrov, to achieve his national team's dream...It's a matter of will

One of the many issues surrounding the Korean national soccer team, which is seeking to advance to the World Cup finals for the 11th consecutive time and the 12th time in its career, is whether Jens Kastrov (22) of Nuremberg will join the team. Coach Hong Myung-bo and the national team's coaching staff scattered across Europe from April 14 to 10 and inspected all overseas teams. Coach Hong, who put Kastrov on the check list in the process, dispatched his coach directly to Germany to understand the situation.
For now, Hong was satisfied with Kastrov. "I was evaluated as a very good player. I have seen many great players who are faithful to their roles and commit themselves to the team," he said. Having confirmed his transfer to Mönchengladbach from 2025 to 2026, he is highly valuable as he can play various roles such as defensive midfielder, right fullback and winger.
The key to Kastrov's decision to wear the national flag is to summarize his status. A German father and a Korean mother, Kastrov is born with multiple nationalities. The Nuremberg club classified him as a German national, but the Bundesliga secretariat marked him as a multiple nationality. If he only possesses German nationality, he is subject to special naturalization (sports), but according to circumstances, he does not seem to have exited (Korean) nationality.
There is a sensitive factor here. It is military service. The fact that all men of Korean nationality are eligible for compulsory service can act as a practical concern for Castrov.
Another issue regarding nationality should be addressed. A person who has multiple nationalities in his or her birth, whose parents are foreigners, cannot stay in Korea for more than 183 days a year or stay in Korea for profit-making activities, requires an overseas travel permit up to the age of 37.
The national team does not seem to have any major problems unless Castrov plays in the K-League or engages in commercial advertising activities after selecting the national team as the period of convocation is not long and the overseas convocation is frequent. Issues such as advancement to the World Cup finals and distribution of rewards based on results of the finals are not immediate obstacles. 안전놀이터
In the end, it appears to be a matter of will. Hong also does not view Kastrov as merely a subject of inspection. If a player really wants to join the national flag and can join the team, he or she will examine and judge for himself. Even if it is difficult to call him right away in March, the Korea Football Association should proactively move to call him in time for the June A-match.
