Last year, he made his first advance to the tournament at the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup, and beat South Korea to finish fourth at the 2024 AFC U23 Asian Cup, which also serves as a preliminary round for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
In addition, in Group C of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA North-China World Cup, he cruises and marks the third place with six points, beating powerhouse Saudi Arabia.
Although he was recently eliminated from the Mitsubishi Cup, Shin Tae-yong's replacement was an unexpected result because there were many achievements.
Indonesian players were also shocked. After news of Shin's replacement came out, players who had been coached by Shin Tae-yong in the national team shared messages of respect for Shin through social media.

Hwang Hee-chan's Wolverhampton teammate Justin Herbner also said, "Coach Shin Tae-yong has taken me and Indonesia to the next level. I will always remember and talk about how important coach Shin was in my career." Herbner is also born in the Netherlands and has been playing for Indonesia since 2022.
