It was the first change in 2024. Ko, who was born in 1994, chose a new challenge at the age of 30. The nest was moved to Ulsan. The campaign was intense. "As I left the place where I was used to and grew up, I decided to move the team with a big decision and determination. I don't just want to do well, but I want to perform well that satisfies everyone's expectations and support." However, even though he is a K-League player in his ninth year, everything was unfamiliar. 'Adjust screen' time was also needed. However, the time was not long.
Ko Seung-beom has already established himself as an indispensable being in Ulsan. It's a difference if he's in the midfield and not. The area covered based on its unique active activity is tongue-in-cheek. He has three lungs that remind him of Park Ji-sung when he was active. Ulsan coach Hong Myung-bo also worries first when Ko Seung-beom is sick.
Ko Seung-beom took a step forward. In the meantime, there was a concern that others did not know because there was no attack point. He reported his first goal in 13 K League 1 games after moving to Ulsan from Pohang Steelyard, a suitable place, on the 30th of last month. He broke the net with a fantastic free kick in the 24th minute of the first half, trailing the Pohang Steelers 0-2. I couldn't laugh because of my team's 1-2 defeat, but it was a monumental day for Ko Seung-beom. Three days have passed. On the 3rd, I asked Ko Seung-beom how he felt on that day again.
"We were behind by two goals, so we didn't have enough time to enjoy the ceremony or joy. "I've only tried it in the car on the way back, and honestly, I think there are not many parts that I can tell you how I feel because I'm more disappointed than happy." And the personal record is 'bonus'. Team victory comes first. I want to give the team a win with a play that contributes more than points," he added.

When asked 'the secret to running nonstop'", he paid a lot of attention to self-management. "It's not a lip service, but my family, who always support me, and my fans who play with me from kickoff to the final whistle, regardless of home or away, are a great help."
Ulsan's journey this season is different again. Running toward the top is the same, but it is not a solo system. Ulsan, which lost to Pohang, fell from first place to second place (38 points). The first place is Gimcheon (39 points). No. 3 Pohang (37 points) has been chasing under the chin. Ko Seung-beom was selected as MVP along with winning the FA Cup in 2019 when he was in Suwon, but he has no experience at the top of the K League 1. "Needless to say back. I came to Ulsan to win the championship. I will do my best to lift the trophy as much as possible for my family, fans, teammates and coaches who supported and trusted me." The beginning of the dynasty is three consecutive victories. Ko Seung-beom is also picturing in his head the 'dynasties'.
