According to FootballAsian, Lee Kang-in and Kim Min-su are poised to form the creative core of South Korea's team under new coach R. Moreno.

Media outlets predict that Lee Kang-in and Kim Min-su could form the technical foundation of R. Moreno's South Korea team going forward. Both can operate in attacking positions, whether cutting in from the wing or operating in half-spaces; both have developed within the footballing philosophy built around principles of distance and rhythm outlined in Moreno's tactical framework; and, among available South Korean players, both can theoretically receive instructions directly from the coach in his native language, in real time, without translation. Whether this theoretical advantage translates into playing time will ultimately be determined by R. Moreno.

The scheduling of the Asian Games itself adds particular significance to Kim Min-su's situation. The Nagoya Asian Games run from September 19 to October 4 — directly overlapping with South Korea's senior national team matches during the September international window. Several Europe-based players who would otherwise be candidates for the senior squad — including Yang Hyun-jun, Um Ji-sung, Lee Ki-hyuk, and Bae Jun-ho, among others — have been called up for the Asian Games as overage players or wildcards, and are therefore unavailable for September matches regardless of their form. This leaves a considerably limited pool of alternative attacking wingers for the September window.

The convergence of multiple factors — a technically ready player who has performed well in the Scottish Premiership, the genuine communication advantage with this particular coach, and a severely restricted September roster due to unavailable Europe-based alternatives — suggests that Kim Min-su's senior debut may not be far off. Nothing here should be interpreted as confirmation that R. Moreno or the KFA has made such a decision. This is FootballAsian's assessment of the situation, presented as analysis rather than reporting.
