So Hyon-uk (born 17 April 1992) is a North Korean international footballer who plays for North Korea national football team.
Club career
He played with April 25 Sports Club in North Korea before moving abroad in 2017 to play in Bosnia and Herzegovina first with HŠK Zrinjski Mostar and then on loan at NK GOŠK Gabela, both playing in the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina.[1] After one year in Bosnia he left with technical staff of both clubs indicating that despite his great performances, his spell in Bosnia was not more successful because of communication difficulties since he did not speak any English. However, his performances did not passed unnoticed in neighbouring Serbia with a top-league club, FK Zemun, signing him that summer.[2] However, by mid August club and player agreed to mutually release him before he got a chance to debut in the league.[3]
International career
He has played for the North Korean national team since 2014.[4] He was part of the North Korean squad at the 2015 AFC Asian Cup where they reached the final.[5][6][7]
