The act of saying goodbye to fans at the stadium before the transfer announcement is spreading like a trend.
While Lee Seung-woo and Kim Ha-joon, who recently moved to Jeonbuk from Suwon FC and FC Anyang, respectively, drew attention by leaving a farewell message to fans in the farewell match, left back Lee Tae-seok, a former Seoul Youth and former professional player who only lived in Seoul, also greeted fans first before leaving.
Lee Tae-seok stood in front of an away fan in Seoul in plain clothes after the 25th round away match against Incheon held at Incheon Football Stadium on the 27th. Kang Joo-hyuk's first goal of the 2006 World Cup won the megaphone shortly after winning 1-0. "It was an honor to play in front of the guardian deity (Seoul supporter) for three and a half years. I should have shown better performances in front of the fans, but I'm sorry I couldn't. "I'm moving, but I'll always support FC Seoul in my heart."
The visiting fans in Seoul shouted "Lee Tae-seok, Lee Tae-seok". On the Seoul fan community, Lee Tae-seok was described as 'the child I gave birth to'I'm crying' Breaking up is always regrettable and difficult.
Although Lee Tae-seok was excluded from the entry and did not play in the game, he held a unique victory ceremony with his fans for the last time and left a winning shot. How did it feel to say 'Self-goodbye' a day before his birthday (July 28). He must have felt free to leave Sangam behind his younger brother Lee Seung-joon (Seoul), who joined Seoul last year.

Lee Tae-seok, the eldest son of Lee Eul-yong, was one of the players loved by Seoul fans. After graduating from Osan Middle School and Osan High School, Seoul Youth, he was called up to the professional team in 2021 and played 89 games (4 assists) in the league alone for three and a half years. Lee Tae-seok, who seemed like a young teenager when he joined the team, was reborn as a tough professional player through three coaches.
Seoul life couldn't last forever. Lee Tae-seok, who gave up his starting position to Kang Sang-woo after Kim Ki-dong, Seoul coach, took the helm this season, sought to change through the summer transfer market. In line with Ulsan, he negotiated a trade deal with defensive midfielder Won Doo-jae. Both the club and the players agreed and proceeded until just before the announcement, but it was greatly hurt when the Ulsan leaders withdrew the transfer due to a simple change of mind. The Seoul club expressed its sorry for Lee Tae-seok in a statement criticizing Ulsan's behavior.
Lee Tae-seok, who was rumored to have even found a house in Ulsan, had to return to Seoul, but as Pohang showed interest in recruiting Lee Tae-seok, he headed to Pohang, a neighborhood next to Ulsan. The two clubs agreed to trade Pohang goalkeeper Kang Hyun-moo (+cash) and Lee Tae-seok last week. Medical tests will be conducted when personal agreements are completed. If Pohang does not change its mind, the announcement early next week is likely.
A soccer official evaluates it as a `win-win' trade. Seoul has recruited a proven goalkeeper to solve the goal instability that has continued since last season. Kang Hyun-moo is more anticipated in that head coach Kim Ki-dong was appointed during his time in Pohang. Kang Hyun-moo, who was discharged from the Gimcheon Sangmu this month, will leave his home nine years after his debut in Pohang in 2015 to take on a new challenge.

Pohang needed a partner or backup resource for captain and starting left-back Wandelson, who is struggling at the age of 35. Lee Tae-seok, who also applies to the 22-year-old rule until this season, has been an attractive target in terms of strengthening his power and changing generations. Pohang, which boldly recruited striker Ahn Jae-joon, born in 2001, from Bucheon this summer, is trying to transform itself into a `young Pohang.'
Pohang and Seoul are scheduled to face off for the third time this season at Pohang Steelyard on the 11th of next month. This game is likely to be a debut match between Lee Tae-seok and Kang Hyun-moo in different uniforms.
