On the 22nd, the Japan Football Association (JFA) officially announced that Kim Do-yoon was additionally selected to the Japan U-17 national team. Although his name was not included in the final list that was originally announced, he was dramatically selected as a replacement when one striker left due to injury.
Kim Jung-min said in an interview with a media outlet, “The children have two passports. Since I was born, my home country has been two countries. “Japan gave me the opportunity first, but I am not a professional yet and my choice of nationality has not been decided,” he said. “It is not something you can join the adult national team if you want.” “In the end, it is important to do your best in a team that gives you good opportunities,” he said, respecting his son’s choice.
The eldest Kim Tae-yang, the second Kim Do-yoon, and the third Kim Dam-yul are all known as soccer players.
