In-beom Hwang was born on 20th September 1996, making him 29 years of age. Born in Korea Republic, Hwang is a midfielder by trade, predominantly playing in the central defensive role for his current side Feyenoord, where he dons the number 6 jersey. Standing at a solid 5ft 9in (1.77m) tall and weighing in at 11st (70kg), he cuts an impressive figure on the pitch. Additionally, he has also had the honour of representing his home country, Korea Republic's national football team.
Currently, according to Transfermarkt his market value sits at approximately £8.5m. His professional career in football started at Daejeon Hana Citizen in Korea's K League 1 when he joined in January 2015.
By January 2019, a shifting tide moved Hwang from Daejeon Hana Citizen to Vancouver Whitecaps in the Major League Soccer (MLS) in the USA. The transfer fee was agreed upon roughly at a cool £1.4m. Making 34 first team appearances on pitch and scoring three individual goals during his debut season with the Vancouver Whitecaps, Hwang left his mark on the MLS. However, his appearances dwindled dramatically in the 2020 season, to only five league matches.
In a seemingly big jump, Hwang transferred from North America to the colder climes of Russia to join Rubin Kazan in the Russian Premier League. This move in August 2020 reportedly cost the club around £2.3m. In his inaugural season with Rubin Kazan, Hwang made 18 first team appearances and scored three goals in league matches. In the 2021 - 2022 season he made 17 first team appearances scoring two goals.
After Russia came the warmer climate of Greece, when in July 2022, Hwang was transferred to Olympiacos in the Super League. Here he was seen on the pitch 32 times during the 2022 - 2023 season, during which he managed to score three goals. However, his stay in Greece lasted only a season.
Reportedly a £4.7m deal saw Hwang move to Red Star in the Serbian SuperLiga in September 2023. He made 27 first team appearances there and scored five goals during the 2023-2024 season. He stayed in Serbia for over a year making a few first-team appearances early in the 2024 - 2025 season.
In September 2024, Hwang transferred from Red Star to his current club, Feyenoord in the Eredivisie in the Netherlands for a fee that was about the ballpark figure of £6.8m. In the on-going season, he has already made five appearances in the Feyenoord jersey.
On an international stage, Hwang has participated in the World Cup Qualifiers Asia 2024 - 2026 for his homeland with 15 starts. He has also represented Feyenoord in the Champions League Qualifiers 2025 - 2026 with two starts and the Europa League 2025 - 2026 with two starts.
