Jung Woon (36) is a living legend of Jeju SK. Jung Woon had never left the team except for military service (June 2018 -January 2020) after wearing Jeju uniforms in the 2016 season. Jung Woon wore a Jeju uniform in 215 games (7 goals and 15 assists) in the K -League (1 · 2). K -League 1 191 games 5 goals and 15 assists and 2 goals in K -League 2 24 games. Jung Woon is a loyalty who remained on the team and led the K -League 1 promotion even when Jeju felt the pain of the first K -League 2 relegation.

Jung Woon signed a two -year contract with Jeju after 2024 season. It was not surprising because I have revealed my affection for the club several times. Jung Woon’s dream is ‘Jeju Legend’ now.

But the 2025 season is not easy for Jungwoon. Jung Woon played only two of the 24 K -League 1 game this season.

This summer, the transfer was brought about in the transfer market. It was rumored that Seoul E -Land FC, who is challenging the K -League 1 promotion, wants Jungwoon.

Jung Woon remained in Jeju.

Jung Woon said, “Jeju is part of my life,” he said. “I’m still a player. If you don’t have the desire to play, it’s a lie. But the team is before my greed. It’s important for the team to be good. I will do any role for our team.”

This is a story that MK Sports shared with Jung Woon.

Q. After last season, I signed a contract with Jeju. I chose the way of Jeju Legend. However, it seems difficult to have a chance to play this season. He’s been playing in the K -League 1 2 games this season. I think the first half of the K -League 1 this season would have been harder than anyone else.

Honestly, it was not easy. Since I became a professional football player, I haven’t played for so long. Especially in Jeju, he has always been playing. It was important to adapt quickly to this situation. I had to accept the reality well and keep focusing on what I had to do. Director Kim Hak -bum gives a lot of consideration. Now, I am not only creating a perfect physical condition at the training ground, but also a senior.

Q. I have a rich experience, but I haven’t played the game so far. I think it would not have been easy to manage mental.

I received great help from my brothers here. Then I went back to the beginning. The reason why I signed a contract with Jeju after last season was clear. I love Jeju. As I re -signed with the team, I thought that the team was the priority. If I thought of me first, I would have been angry in the current situation. You must have considered the transfer. However, the Jeju team is first. I am enjoying the players with the consideration of the manager. It seems to be one of the roles to me now to add strength to keep the good atmosphere.

Q. There was a rumor that Jungwoon moved to K -League 2 E -Land this summer.

I’m not going to play. There may be contact in the transfer market. I’m a player too. Honestly, I want to play the game. But as I said earlier, I really like the Jeju team. Jeju is part of my life. As a result, I had to understand the team situation. Director Kim Hak -bum also needed me. I have something to do on this team.

It’s not as easy as I leave Jeju. Even with our fans and others’ eyes, it would not be good for me to leave Jeju. It would not have been easy for our fans to accept. I decided to remain in Jeju early. This decision was right after seeing it.

Q. I know that there was a team that presented better conditions after last season. The affection for Jeju’s team seems to be bigger than anyone else. What does Jeju mean to Jungwoon?

I also thought about it again. What does Jeju team mean so much? Jeju is a team that has reborn a professional football player in Iran. My football life is divided into before and after joining Jeju. In the life of a man, Jungwoon has a different meaning. I imagined a transfer. But even in my imagination, I felt heterogeneous. I think it’s right to express it like this, but it was really weird. Jeju seems to be home to me. Isn’t the house the most comfortable? No matter how good a hotel is, it’s not as comfortable as home.

Q. This season of Jeju is not smooth. Do you have a story to your juniors whenever the team is in a difficult situation?

I don’t talk a lot. To juniors, “Let’s do what we can.” Don’t try to do what we can’t do. No matter how hard you try, you can’t change it. If we care about what we can’t do, we will come back with great stress. The harder you are, the more you have to focus on what a player needs to do. That way, you can quickly change the bad situation. The more difficult, the more I try to say a lot of words rather than a heavy story.

Q. The first league in the league was a lot late. On June 21, Pohang Steelers’ away match was the first league match this season. Isn’t it the first opportunity to play in a very unfamiliar situation for Jungwoon? I think the emotions were different.

I knew it too. But there was nothing much different. Before the game, I was doubtful about me. As I couldn’t play the game, I was not sure about my performance. All of those troubles have gone. It seems to have finished the game naturally as it was always there. It is still a good memory because of the confidence that ‘so far’. It was a game where the question mark was changed to the exclamation mark.

Q. Isn’t it the most loved player in Jeju? Jeju fans are very curious about Jung -un’s condition.

I’m doing my best to do what I have to do. As always, I do thoroughly from preparing for the upcoming game. Kim Hak -bum knows my strengths. If you give me a chance, we are preparing to do it perfectly what you want. You will do anything that helps the team.
