South Korea coach Guus Hiddink has confirmed an unchanged 23-man squad for the World Cup finals.
Hiddink called up 23 players on April 30 and has remained faithful to them after they delivered an impressive 4-1 win over Scotland, and a 1-1 draw with England, in their most recent warm-up games.
FIFA required all teams at the World Cup to submit their team lists by Tuesday night but will allow injured squad players to be replaced up until the day before the team's opening game.
As a result reserve player Sim Jae-won of Eintracht Frankfurt, who was called up on standby by Hiddink on May 14, has left the current training squad.
Korea have one remaining warm-up match against defending champions France at Suwon on Sunday.
They will kick off their World Cup campaign in Busan against Poland on June 4.
Squad:
Goalkeepers: Lee Woon-jae (Suwon), Kim Byung-ji (Pohang), Choi Eun-sung (Taejon).
Defenders: Hong Myung-bo (Pohang), Choi Jin-chul (Chonbuk), Kim Tae-young (Chunnam), Lee Min-sung (Pusan), Hyun Young-min (Ulsan).
Midfielders: Song Chong-gug (Pusan), Lee Eul-yong (Bucheon), Lee Young-pyo (Anyang), Kim Nam-il (Chunman), Park Ji-sung (Kyoto Purple Sanga), Yoon Jung-hwan (Cerezo Osaka), Ahn Jung-hwan (Perugia), Yoo Sang-chul (Kashiwa
Reysol).
Forwards: Hwang Sun-hong (Kashiwa Reysol), Choi Yong-soo (JEF United Ichihara), Seol Ki-hyeon (Anderlecht), Cha Du-ri (Korea University), Lee Chun-soo (Ulsan), Choi Tae-uk (Anyang).
