During Paris Saint-Germain's draw to Reims (2-2) at the Parc des Princes on Sunday, the club celebrated once more a South Korean connection, with their shirts written in Hangul to celebrate PSG's Seoul store opening

Paris Saint-Germain once again took to the pitch adorned with shirt numbers featuring writing native to South Korea. Against Stade de Reims, Les Parisiens wore numbering and shirt names featuring Hangul to celebrate the opening of a new club shop in Seoul, South Korea.

Of course, the Asian country is the home of PSG midfielder Lee Kang-In who joined the French champions last summer and has since made 14 appearances in Ligue 1 Uber Eats and featured six times in the UEFA Champions League this season.

Paris played a preseason exhibition game series shortly after Lee's signature, featuring a clash against K League 1 team Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors. Les Parisiens then wore jerseys featuring names in Hangul against Le Havre in December, before featuring once again this weekend at home to Stade de Reims.

This time it was to commemorate the opening of a club shop in Seoul, in order to connect Paris Saint-Germain to more fans in Korea. After a viewing party held during the match against Le Havre in December, a second took place following the opening ceremony of the flagship store in Seoul to watch the 2-2 draw against Will Still's Reims side.
