The Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma player has been capped over 40 times by his country and is hoping to impress during his time in England.
"West Bromwich Albion have asked me to England," the player told reporters back in his native Seoul.
""I heard the news suddenly from my agent so I don't know many details.
"In England, I will train with the team, watch their matches and meet the coach.
"This is my first chance to play overseas so I think I can get more experience playing in the Championship and not the Premier League."
