Kim Jae-woo has been considered the best defender of his age since his days at Yeongdeungpo Technical High School. In 2016, he joined SV Horn (Austria), famous for its club owned by Honda Keisuke of the Japanese national team 'Legend'. Kim Jae-woo, who played for SV Horn for about a year and a half, moved to Bucheon FC 1995 of K League 2 in 2018 and entered the domestic stage. Kim Jae-woo played in 26 games in two seasons in Bucheon, scoring one goal and three assists, and moved to Daegu in the K League 1 in the 2020 season.
In Daegu, Kim Jae-woo's performance was outstanding. He played in 30 games in two seasons. Later, he wore a uniform in Daejeon ahead of the 2022 season and fulfilled his military service obligations at Gimcheon Sangmu in the 2023 season. Kim Jae-woo, who rejoined Daejeon in July 2024, reported a return goal with a fantastic mid-range shot in a home game against Incheon United on August 17, even winning the K-League 'Goal of the Month'.
Kim Jae-woo's choice for the new challenge was Jeju. In Jeju, there is a coach Kim Hak-beom who knows himself better than anyone else. Coach Kim Hak-beom used Kim Jae-woo as the main defender when he was leading the 2020 Tokyo Olympics national team in 2021. In particular, head coach Kim Hak-beom is raising expectations by holding his supporters in his arms, following Jang Min-gyu (25), a recently recruited defensive talent, and Kim Jae-woo. Jeju's veteran and top K-League center back duo Lim Chae-min and Song Joo-hoon are in good shape, and they have joined to build a strong central defense line.
Kim Jae-woo said, `I'm really happy to start a new challenge on a good team called Jeju. There are a lot of really good players in Jeju. We will continue to develop by helping each other with (Jang) Min-gyu, who joined Jeju earlier. Above all, it is very reassuring to have Kim Hak-beom who knows the soccer player Kim Jae-woo well. And I know Jeju fans have high expectations. The only thing that can meet that expectation is to prove it with skill and results on the field. Please give us a lot of support and love."
