This unexpected person has gained attention in the Asian Games football final that attracted the interest of internet users.
Especially, he is receiving hot attention online due to his charming appearance.
The Korean national football team faced Japan in the Asian Games football final held at the Huanglong Sports Center in Hangzhou, China on the 7th of last month.
Winning a gold medal in the Asian Games will grant military service benefits, making this game crucial for Korean players. However, the crisis came faster than expected, as Korea conceded a goal just 2 minutes into the game.
Korea, who had not suffered a single defeat from the group stage to the final, did not back down easily. Jeong Woo-yeong scored an equalizing goal with a header in the 27th minute of the first half, leading to an intense battle between the two teams.
The winner was, of course, Korea. In the 11th minute of the second half, Jo Young-wook took advantage of the confusion in front of Japan’s goal and scored a brilliant right-footed shot to turn the game around.
In the end, Korea won the game 2-1, achieving a historic three consecutive Asian Games victories.
However, an unexpected person has gained a lot of attention online in this Korea vs Japan match. His identity is Jun Nishikawa, Japan’s number 10 player. The reason he is receiving so much attention is because of his charming appearance.
As soon as he appeared on the broadcast screen, titles such as “Japanese player number 10? What’s his name?”, “Japanese player number 10 is handsome”, “Japanese player number 10 looks like an idol”, “Who is Japanese player number 10?” were posted in real-time on the online community Instiz.
After the game, his Instagram comments were filled with comments from Koreans such as “So you’re the guy with the number 10. You’re handsome”, “I came here while watching the Korea vs Japan match”, “I came here after seeing your face in the Korea vs Japan match and was shocked”, “Probably the biggest beneficiary of the Korea vs Japan match”, “I came here because you’re handsome” and so on.
Meanwhile, Nishikawa, born in 2002, started playing football at the age of 3 and scored the winning goal in the AFC U-16 Championship final, earning the title of tournament MVP.
