According to the media, Montpellier HSC is considering recruiting Jan Karamoh and Hwang Ui-jo to strengthen its offensive line. Montpellier is a club in France’s League 1, which had previously recruited Yoon Il-lok (currently with Gangwon FC).
Hwang Ui-jo is currently facing the biggest crisis of his career. This has been the case since a video and text exposing his private life were leaked on Instagram last year.
A person claiming to be Hwang Ui-jo’s ex-girlfriend, identified as Ms. A, exposed via Instagram that “Hwang Ui-jo had inappropriate relationships with multiple women, causing them harm and gaslighting them”.
In response, the police converted Hwang Ui-jo’s status to a suspect during their investigation into the leaked video. Subsequently, Hwang Ui-jo appeared before the police as a suspect and was questioned.
During this process, the Cyber Investigation Team of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency issued a travel ban on Hwang Ui-jo on the 16th, but Hwang’s side submitted a petition for disqualification of the investigator, claiming that “he had to leave the team without permission due to excessive investigation”.
Afterwards, Hwang Ui-jo received a lift on the travel ban on the 28th and returned to the UK on the 29th.

Although he boarded a flight to the UK, his future as a soccer player remains uncertain.
Hwang Ui-jo transferred to Nottingham Forest in the English Premier League (EPL) for the 22-23 season, but without obtaining any significant opportunities, he was loaned out to Norwich City (Championship) for the 23-24 season.
At Norwich, Hwang Ui-jo played in 18 matches, scoring 3 goals and 1 assist, showing good performance, but recently Norwich terminated the loan contract with Hwang Ui-jo.
As a result, Hwang Ui-jo returned to his original club, Nottingham, but it remains uncertain whether Nottingham will actively use Hwang Ui-jo.
In the midst of this situation, sudden transfer rumors have caught the public’s attention. Hwang Ui-jo had previously played in France’s League 1.
He transferred to Girondins de Bordeaux in the 19-20 season, where he recorded 6 goals and 2 assists in 124 matches, and in the following 20-21 season, he scored 12 goals, achieving the highest goal record among Bordeaux players and demonstrating an outstanding performance.
