Defenders who long to grow… Suwon FC Lee Hyun -yong “silently, steadily” (MK Interview)
Born in 2003, central defender Lee Hyun -yong (Suwon FC) has longed for growth. I vowed to be silently and steadily in my role, including my team, as well as the national team.
Lee Hyun -yong, who joined Suwon FC in 2023 through Gwangmyeong Gwangdeokcho, Gwangmyeong -jung, Gwangmungo, and Hongik University, is a prospect defender who is growing rapidly. Born in 2003, he immediately leased to the Siheung Citizens’ Soccer Team of the K3 League. After gaining experience, he returned to Suwon FC last year, and this season he became a key defender for the team.
At the beginning of the season, Kim Eun -jung’s 300 tactics took a breath with Choi Kyu -baek and Lee Ji -sol, but in the 400 tactics, he is traveling and backing up. He was replaced by the Gwangju FC and Hana Bank K-League 1 2025 at the Suwon Sports Complex on the 18th.

Kim Eun -jung took out Lee Hyun -yong to add the stability of the rear by increasing the number of attacks. Lee Hyun -yong immediately returned to faith. In the second half of the 38th minute, he played a role in Willian’s equalizer. Lee Hyun -yong stabbed an accurate pass for the left side of the left side, and the pass of Seo Jae -min continued to Willian and became equalizer.
After the game, Lee Hyun -yong said, “I had a short time. It was possible because my opponent was exhausted.
He said, “I want to win the game because of the main competition. Of course, the desire to play is great. But now the veteran brothers are holding the team atmosphere. I’m learning a lot. I have to keep my seat silently and continue what I have to do.

Suwon FC was left by Ace Andersson (FC Seoul), but six new players including Willian, Ando, Han Chan -hee, Lee Si -young, Ahn Hyun -bum, and Kim Kyung -min joined.
Lee Hyun-yong, who was released on the U-22 national team, had to participate in the training late due to the schedule. Lee Hyun -yong said, “When I returned to the team, I noticed the changes of the team. There were a lot of good brothers. I have a lot of experience. The atmosphere of the team and the performance are getting better. We can achieve our goals.”
“Willian is expected. It’s hard to choose only one person,” he said. “He’s not the most impacted player in the game. He will show a lot of high -quality shots and attack points.”

Suwon FC defeated Gwangju and won a thrilling victory in seven games. Although he is ranked 11th with 4 wins and 7 draws and 10 losses (19 points), transfer students are rapidly adapted and dream of a rebound in the second half.
Lee Hyun -yong said, “The victory of Gwangju would have been the biggest motivation for the team. This season, we had no victory in the first game after the break, but it showed a new power. There is no winning streak yet.
Meanwhile, Lee Hyun-yong was also selected as the U-22 soccer team led by Lee Min-sung. Lee Hyun-yong said, “All of the players are active in the K-League, I am 23 years old, and I have a lot of young players 21-22 years old. In September, I will go to the 2026 Asian Football Federation (AFC) U-23 Asian Cup in Indonesia. I will show you a clear appearance, and I will work hard on the national team. ”
