When asked if he is a goaltender or a chancemaker,"I try to look wider than that. Especially, I try to help the team as much as possible. It doesn't matter if it's an assist or a goal. I have something more important than stat. For example, allowing a team to win a game. If you have to help the team in a way other than assists or goals, I think that's good. I believe every player on this team has that mindset."
Finally, he said "Paris is really beautiful. I came to Paris for the first time when I came to sign a contract. Last season, I actually found places that I only saw in pictures. I settled down with my family, and I'm doing really well here"I really like Korean fans. Because they come to support me. They give me a lot of love and energy, and they make me develop further. To help the team as much as possible, I want to play better soccer and give them pleasure. I want to say thank you very much."
