Sunderland, Cardiff City and Bolton Wanderers also represented.
Arsenal forward Park Chu-Young has been named in South Korea’s 23-man squad for this summer’s World Cup in Brazil.
The 28-year-old, who has scored 25 goals in 91 senior international appearances, has only played three club matches this season.
He featured as a substitute in Arsenal’s 2-0 loss to Chelsea in the League Cup in October, before being loaned out to Watford at the end of January.
Park’s inclusion has divided opinion, but South Korea coach Hong Myung-bo says he had no option but to call up the former Monaco forward.
“Among Korean forwards, I couldn’t find another attacker to replace Park,” Sky Sports quote Hong as saying.
“I have thought long and hard about this selection and decided on the final list just last night.”
Three other British-based players have been named in Hong’s squad.
Cardiff City midfielder Kim Bo-Kyung, Bolton Wanderers star Lee Chung-Yong and Swansea City’s Ki Sung-Yueng, who is on loan at Sunderland, have all booked a place on the plane.
South Korea have been drawn in Group H, along with Russia, Algeria and Belgium.
