Former Republic of Korea international Kim Jinkyu will don the number 20 and indeed the captain's armband whist Jang Wonseok, number 3, and Lee Hoseok, 17, will act as vice captains.

Shin Hakyoung has taken the number 13 shirt previously worn by Jean-Claude Bozga whilst Kim Taebong has moved from number 2 to number 14.

Park Daehoon, who was number 17 last term, has been given the number 28 shirt meanwhile Kim Haesik who was previously number 29 will wear number 2.
