Ha Chang-rae was the hidden big fish in the transfer market this winter. One of the keywords in the transfer market this winter is center back. The high-quality center-back Su Won-yi was so thin that it was called in short supply. In the meantime, Ha Chang-rae's name rose to the surface. As the team's position diminished at the end of the season, the possibility of returning to Korea opened. In particular, most teams in K League 1 used four-backs this season, and Ha Chang-rae's stock price optimized for four-backs soared.
Many big clubs in K League 1 reached out to Ha Chang-rae. FC Seoul, Ulsan HD, and Jeonbuk Hyundai showed interest. It was set as a rental, not a complete transfer, and Daejeon, which moved quickly, became the winner. Daejeon offered a huge salary and had Ha Chang-rae.
Daejeon's first task this winter, which succeeded in staying with a surprising rise at the end of last season, was the defense. Hwang found the left fullback and center back. The Anton-Kim Hyun-woo duo showed good performance last season, but coach Hwang was thirsty for quality resources. There were Kim Jae-woo and Aaron, but they didn't fill the castle. In particular, Lee Jung-taek conveyed his intention to join the military, and reinforcement became essential. Coach Hwang, who is aiming to play four-back again next season, succeeded in recruiting Ha Chang-rae, who he had been paying attention to since his Pohang days.
Ha Chang-rae, who joined Incheon United in 2017 after going through Chung-Ang University College of Education's affiliated high school and Chung-Ang University, performed well on the professional stage with one point in 20 league games in his first year as a professional. He made his professional debut against Suwon Samsung in the 2017 FA Cup and made his K-League debut against Ulsan Hyundai in the 16th round of the league. After the end of the season, he was expected to become Incheon's main center back, but moved to Pohang.

Based on his performance in Pohang, he transferred to Nagoya Grampus, a member of the Japanese J1 League, and scored three points and one assist in 24 games.
Ha Chang-rae, who experienced the J-League stage for one season, decided to transfer on loan due to Daejeon's active recruitment offer, and plans to challenge himself to join the adult national team based on his performance in Daejeon. Ha Chang-rae is a fighter-type center back and is good at competing and fighting in the air based on his excellent physicality, and has excellent main strength. Based on his experiences as a striker and midfielder in school, he also has excellent build-up skills.
Ha Chang-rae said, `As a veteran and experienced player, I think anything should help the team. Especially, I know the passion of Daejeon fans and I will do my best to perform better for them"He expressed his determination.
