Cho Gue-sung was a university defensive midfielder converted into a striker, who rose through FC Anyang and Jeonbuk Hyundai to become the 2022 K League 1 top scorer. His defining moment came at the 2022 World Cup, where he scored twice against Ghana, and he later moved to Danish side FC Midtjylland. A physical target man dominant in the air, he offers Korea an aerial focal point in attack despite battling back from a long knee injury.
- First South Korean to score two or more goals in a single World Cup match (vs Ghana, 2022)
- Originally a defensive midfielder before his coach moved him to striker in 2017
- Returned in 2025 from a roughly 448-day knee-injury layoff
