“I changed my life for football after enlisting.”
Kim Cheon -hyuk, 23, is the most praised player from Jung Jung -yong. He scored only four goals in 44 games in the K -League until 2023 after joining Gangwon FC in 2021, but changed his mood after joining the business in April last year. Last year, he showed the possibility of four goals in 17 games, and this year, he is leading the attack of Kimcheon with seven goals and 1 assists in 21 games.
The growth pain before enlistment has long been washed away. Park Sang -hyuk was well -received by the officials of the team for being better than the motivation Yang Hyun -joon (Celtic) during his joining Gangwon in 2021. But the process of establishing the professional stage was not easy. Thanks to the mandatory compulsory system under 22 years of age (U-22), it was often replaced early even after taking a chance to start.
Park Sang-hyuk said, “Every moment was a hump after joining the professional. (Yang) Hyun Joon was in a hurry to see him, and this year, which exceeded the U-22 age, I was filled with the idea of ‘must survive’.” “I think the results are coming out little by little thanks to the hard work of others in the midst of anxiety.”
In the past, there were not many goalkeepers who had a potential for their potential after enlisting, such as Cho Kyu -sung (Meat Willan), Oh Se -hoon (Machi Zelvia), Oh Hyun -kyu (Hangk), and Lee Young -joon (Grass Hopper). Park Sang -hyuk is now determined to continue the lineage of the ‘striker myth’.
“I was not a type of attack, but I wasn’t able to shoot a lot when I had a position and ball, but I was able to make up for the K -League’s top defenders Park Chan -yong, Park Seung -wook (Pohang Steelers) and Kim Bong -su (Daejeon Hana Citizen).”
In recent years, motivation has increased. Park Sang-hyuk was named for 50 preliminary entry of the national soccer team led by Hong Myung-bo ahead of the 2025 East Asian Football Federation (EAFF) E-1 Championship, which ended on the 16th of this month. Lee Ho -jae (Pohang), residents -kyu (Daejeon Hana), and Oh Se -hoon did not get to the final 26, but they are more confident than regret.
Park Sang-hyuk said, “I will try to stand on the stage bigger than the E-1 Championship.
