An official familiar with the K-League transfer market said "Ulsan succeeded in recruiting Park Min-seo, the left fullback of Seoul E-Land. Not only the agreement between the clubs but also the individual agreement has been finalized. There will be an announcement soon."
Ulsan's top priority this winter, which succeeded in winning the 2024 season, was side defense. Following Seol Young-woo's departure for Europe during the season, his contract with Lee Myung-jae, the main left fullback, who has grown into a key member of the national team this winter, will expire. Ulsan continued to negotiate re-sign with Lee Myung-jae, but failed to reduce the difference of opinion.
Ulsan, which is playing until the Club World Cup, turned to a new player. In line with the trend of generational change, he paid attention to young players. Park Min-seo was selected, with Choi Woo-jin (Incheon United) and Lee Tae-seok (Pohang Steelers) from the national team on the list.

Park Min-seo, who changed his uniform to E-Land in 2024, met coach Kim Do-kyun who is a believer in offensive soccer and exploded his potential. He spent his career high season scoring five goals and seven assists in 33 appearances. Park Min-seo, who went back and forth between three-back and four-back, posted an altoran-like attack point at every crisis, leading E-Land to its first promotion playoff. In particular, he produced a lot of points with a sharp kick from a set piece.
Ulsan made a bold bet on Park Min-seo and succeeded in embracing a young fullback of quality. Park Min-seo is still 24 years old and has high growth potential. Ulsan has built its left side under the Shim Sang-min-Park Min-seo system, but there may be changes depending on the situation. While Yoon Il-rok is seeking to strengthen the right fullback position, he is also preparing for additional recruitment on the left.
