As of Saturday’s game against Arsenal, when Hwang made his first start for the club since February, that process became a lot easier. Wolves launched a special ticketing package for Korean fans offering a way to purchase tickets in Korean with special extra to make a trip to Molineux worthwhile for traveling fans.The Korean ticket package, available for purchase through the official Wolves app, includes a ticket to the game, entrance to the Wolves museum and a gift card for the shop. Korean fans are sat together in the stands and the purchase of the ticket also includes international membership to the club.A small group of Korean fans used the promotion, which has not been advertised yet but is available on the newly-launched Korean-language app, on Saturday.
Although the Korean fans did get to see Hwang play 50 minutes for the first time since February, when he was sidelined with an injury, Wolves went on to lose 2-0 to Arsenal following goals from Leandro Trossard and Martin Odegaard.
Wolves play two more Premier League games this week, against Bournemouth on Wednesday and Luton Town on Saturday. Both games will be at home at the Molineux.
