The era of Korean players in the Premier League, which began in 2005 led by Park Ji-sung, came to an end after 21 years with Son Heung-min's transfer to the U.S. and Hwang Hee-chan's relegation. Currently, as many promising young players are loaned out or choose other leagues, regular Korean players have disappeared from the EPL, while Japanese players are actively entering the English league, indicating a shift in the status of Asian football.
