Jeju United announced on the 5th that it has recruited center back Choi Won-chang (23).

Choi Won-chang, a central defender from the Incheon U-18 team (Incheon Daegun High School), went straight to the professional stage in 2020. However, he played only one game in his K-League career. Choi Won-chang, who moved to Hwaseong FC in the K3 League in 2022, moved to Siheung Civic Football Team in 2023 and played as a starting center back. Last year, he wore a uniform for Chuncheon Citizens' Soccer Team, but returned to Siheung Citizens' Soccer Team through the summer transfer market and helped the team win the K3 League.

Choi Won-chang, who is 1m89, is considered to be a player who shows strength in physical strength, control of provision, and set piece. He is also considered a player with excellent technical sense, such as playing midfielder and striker during his youth days. Jeju said, "'Players that fit coach Kim Hak-beom's soccer philosophy to relieve opposition pressure through rear build-ups' and added, "'With Choi Won-chang joining, Lim Chae-min, Song Joo-hoon, Hong Joon-ho, and Lim Chang-woo have solid central defense resources.'" Choi Won-chang said, "I'm really happy to be back on the K League 1 stage. I'm not satisfied with this, and I'll continue to work hard to shine more with Jeju."




Jeju has been stepping up efforts to strengthen its power by recruiting midfielder Oh Jae-hyuk and Cho Sung-bin, a former goalkeeper for the under-22 national team. Jeju, which is training in Seogwipo, Jeju, will move to Kagoshima, Japan, on the 18th and conduct off-season training until early next month.
