Homecoming 'Suwon Seonggol' Becomes Jeonbuk Solver

Blog Article

He graduated from Matan Middle School and Matan High School in Suwon Samsung, the so-called "Seonggol." He also wore the national flag several times when he was a member of the youth team. Back then, his name was Jeon Se-jin, the 珍 of the World. Just like his name, he seemed to become the treasure of the world.

However, he failed to live up to his name on the professional stage. He seemed to be no different from an unknown player.

He made his professional debut in Suwon Blue Jays in 2018. Except for Sangmu, he played for Suwon for six seasons. As a member of Suwon, he only scored nine goals and had six assists in 86 matches in the K League 1. In the first half of the 2024 season when he played in the K League 2, he only garnered one goal and one assist in 16 matches. He changed his name to Jeon Jin-woo as he dreamed of making a comeback on January 1, 2022, but it seemed to have no immediate effect.

Frustrated with frustration, he now has an opportunity that could be an opportunity or a crisis. He was offered a transfer from Jeonbuk Hyundai last summer. Back then, it was time for Jeonbuk to sweep away its strikers to escape relegation. Suwon manager Byun Sung-hwan, a former coach of the national youth team, said, "I knew Jeon well and wanted to raise him well. It was not easy for Jeon to leave a coach that he trusts, too. The conclusion he made after hard work was not stability but change. Amid criticism and demotion caused by the relocation scandal, he also wanted to overcome the intense stress he had to endure as Suwon's flagship player. "I wanted to forget the twisted past and start anew. I broke up with Suwon, where my vested rights were guaranteed, and moved to Jeonju Castle, which is unfamiliar to me. I never imagined that this would be a decision to change my career as a soccer player in less than a year.

Jeon Jin-woo scored two goals in the match against Daegu FC in Jeonju on the 20th to lead the team to a 3-1 victory. He was flawless in his fast movements that beat his opponents, his exquisite movements outside the offside line, and his shots that were criticized for lacking in Suwon. It is the first time in two years and eight months that Jeon Jin-woo has scored multiple goals in the league since the match against Seongnam FC in August 2022, a member of Suwon. Jeon Jin-woo, who swept his 4th and 5th league goals this season, jumped to joint second place in scoring after Joo Min-gyu (7 goals, Daejeon).

The last time Jeon Jin-woo scored the most goals in a season was his six at Suwon in 2022. It is April this year, and he is already close to career high. If he scores one more goal, he will set an individual record. Including the matches of AFC Champions League 2 (ALC2) and Korea Cup, the number of goals he has made in seven official matches in recent years. If this momentum continues, he could potentially acquire the national flag, which he has never worn since he became an adult, at the young age of 26.

"Honestly, I think the more attack points you make, the better. I want to keep playing at least one game per game," Jeon said in an interview with a television network after the match against Daegu. Jeon has rarely finished a season due to his minor injury. What matters is that he is not hurt. If so, he could score more goals. In Jeonbuk, where there are many other strikers to score goals, it suits his personality to play quietly but secretly like a shadow. 먹튀검증

Jinwoo's newly acquired name consists of Jin (晉), who will move on, and Jinwoo (旴), who will move on. This means that he will make progress and make progress again. If he continues to accumulate goals with this momentum, he may become a treasure of the world just like his real name given when he was born.
