Veteran defensive midfielder Jung Woo-young returned to the Korean national team earlier this month at the age of 34 after being sidelined for a year during the short-lived Jurgen Klinsmann era.

Jung — affectionately known as "Big Jung Woo-young in Korea" to differentiate him from VfB Stuttgart midfielder "Small Jeong Woo-yeong" (the names are the same in Korea — appeared in both of Korea's recent 2026 World Cup qualifiers. His contribution was especially obvious during the game against China on June 11, when the numbers show he had 97 percent pass accuracy and won four of six aerial duals.

Those numbers suggest that the Al-Khaleej FC midfielder was not excluded from the roster during Klinsmann’s stint because he is no longer at the national team level. If anything, the stoic midfielder has more to offer — assuming he's paired with a manager that sees the need for experience at the back of the midfield.

But what kind of player is Jung, and is his return to the national team likely to be permanent?
