"I don't want to go as a team that competes with us."

Jung Ho-yeon (24, Gwangju FC) gave strength to her voice. He spoke of various transfer rumors surrounding him. Jung Ho-yeon is one of the most 'hot' players in the K-League these days. Since debuting professionally in Gwangju's uniform in 2022, he has been at the core of the team. He is also the main character of last year's K League 1 Young Player Award.

The 2024 season is showing further improvement. He is active not only in stable defense but also in offense. He also had the honor of being selected for the A national team in March. This is why Gwangju coach Lee Jung-hyo praises Jung Ho-yeon's play in every game. Director Lee said, `If we continue to do well in the future, it will be a big deal. If I do well, I feel good, but I'm very nervous about how far I'll go. I think it will help the future of Korean soccer", "Jeong Ho-yeon is doing a lot of things. I think Jung Ho-yeon is also growing in a good way" heaped praise on his back.

Jung Ho-yeon said "The director keeps telling us the direction. You keep telling me that you are not complacent as a player, you are not satisfied with the present, you can do better, you can do more. Technically, he told me that I had to draw the opposite situation even as I hit the ball. For example, if you hit the right, there must be a player who plays on the left, but you have to keep it in your head and draw it. Since they try to give it to only visible places, the opponent passes easily and in visible places, so the attack development is not dynamic. You have to keep making the opponent difficult. I want to be a player of higher quality.

In addition to her stormy growth, Jeong Ho-yeon was also given a special military service exemption with the gold medal at the Hangzhou Asian Games last year. His ransom is rising vertically. This is why he has been embroiled in rumors of a transfer throughout the season. He said "I didn't hear anything (laughs). I don't want to go as a domestic team. Gwangju, in a way, is the club that made me this far. The current team situation is not good either. I think I have a lot of responsibility because I'm a player who has played every game (of my team this season). I don't want to go to other teams in the K-League, the team we compete with. He also worked hard together last year to win a ticket to the Asian Champions League (ACL). As much as we have achieved together, we want to step on the ACL stage together."
