Shin Song-hoon (22), who is relatively short in height, is showing off his big presence in front of the goal this season.

Shin Song-hoon, who joined Chungnam Asan led by head coach Kim Hyun-seok this year, has played in a total of 13 games, including an away game against Seongnam in the 19th round of the 'Hana Bank K League 2 2024' at Tancheon Stadium on the 25th, boasting 11 runs and a 0-point ERA.

Shin Song-hoon, who began to defend the goal of Asan, Chungcheongnam-do in earnest in May, is tied for third in this category with five clean sheets (no goals lost), and ranks fourth with a 76.9% defense rate. As of the 19th round, only Son Jeong-heon (82.7% in 16 games), Park Dae-han (80% in 10 games in Chungcheongbuk-do), and Moon Jung-in (77.4% in 12 games) boast higher defense rates than Shin Song-hoon.




Shin Song-hoon supported his 4-0 victory with six saves in the last match against Seongnam, and blocked four balls flying into the goal in the 17th round against Busan (0-0). Amid Shin Song-hoon's performance, Chungnam Asan jumped from ninth place to fourth place, a playoff berth, with three wins, one draw and 10 points without losing a point in the last four games.

On the offensive side, Juninho has scored three goals and three assists in the past two games, Jose, who moved from Suwon FC to Asan, Chungcheongnam-do this summer, has scored two consecutive goals and Park Dae-hoon has scored two consecutive offensive points. It's the epitome of a family that puts in well, blocks well, and does well.

Shin Song-hoon is a 1m80 goalkeeper who is shorter than any other field player. He is 8 centimeters shorter than the average height (1 meter 88) of the main goalkeepers of this season's K League 2. Since he was selected as a youth representative, he has attracted attention with his 'short height'. However, Shin is breaking the prejudice that a short player cannot serve as a goalkeeper with his kind reflexes and good defense skills like Arsenal's main goalkeeper David Raya (1m83). Thorough self-care and a serious personality are the sources of success.

Shin Song-hoon also joined Gimcheon Sangmu in 2022, his second year since his professional debut in Gwangju in 2021, and solved military problems early on. He was born in 2002, which applies to the under-22 rule, even though he is a military official. With Shin Song-hoon, Chungnam Asan is less concerned about the 22-year-old resource than its rival team.

Shin Song-hoon will try to score no runs in five consecutive games through the 20th round against Seoul E-Land on the 1st of next month. The record for the most consecutive scoreless games in the K League 2 is six games. It was owned by three teams: Sangju (currently Gimcheon) in 2013, Seongnam in 2017 and Busan in 2023. If South Chungcheong Province does not lose the match against E-Land, it will have five consecutive unbeaten games, breaking its own record of unbeaten. It currently has 27 points, two points apart from second-place Jeonnam (29 points), so it can jump up to second place depending on the result of the day.
