An official familiar with the K-League transfer market said "Joo Se-jong recently agreed to join Gwangju. I've even finished signing. There will be an announcement soon." The contract period is reported to be two years. Ju Se-jong, who was looking for a new team after the expiration of his contract with Daejeon Hana Citizen, will continue his career in Gwangju.
Joo Se-jong lost the second half of last season due to injuries and sluggishness. Ju Se-jong, who silently led his juniors behind him and led him to stay in Daejeon, dreamed of restoring his honor. I wanted to let you know that I was still in good shape. I prepared a new challenge. In the beginning, he aimed to expand overseas rather than domestic. In particular, he tried to advance to the J-League, where he played in the past.
In the meantime, K-League teams' love calls continued. While Hwaseong FC and Gyeongnam FC, who were looking for a veteran midfielder to center the team, showed interest in recruiting Joo Se-jong, Gwangju also jumped in. Joo Se-jong, who was called by coach Lee Jung-hyo, whom he usually respected, ran at one step. I participated in training before signing the autograph. Ju Se-jong showed a strong will to join Gwangju. His physical condition was not bad. Ju Se-jong expressed his satisfaction by experiencing the coach's tactics that he had noted before. Manager Lee gave a thumbs-up to Joo Se-jong's skill and attitude, which eventually led to his signature.

After the contract expired, he took on an overseas challenge. He moved to Gamba Osaka in the J-League. Daejeon Hana Citizen reached out to Ju Se-jong, who was struggling to play in Gamba Osaka. Ju Se-jong, who was loaned to Daejeon through the transfer market in the summer of 2022, recovered his skills in his prime. Ju Se-jong, who established himself as the core of the team, led the promotion of Daejeon. Since then, Joo Se-jong, who succeeded in a complete transfer, has played as the ace of Daejeon, wearing the captain's armband.
He also left a mark as representative A. Ju Se-jong, who won the national flag for the first time in 2015, scored one goal in 29 A matches. In particular, he made a strong impression at the 2018 World Cup in Russia by helping Son Heung-min score a net goal in the final group match against Germany, which is called the 「Kazan Miracle」.
Ju Se-jong is dreaming of the beauty of the end of his life in Gwangju. Coach Lee also expressed his intention to actively utilize Ju Se-jong. Gwangju added depth to the midfield by adding Ju Se-jong. As Joo Se-jong still has passing power, skills, and activity, it is expected to fill the void of Jung Ho-yeon, who left for Minnesota. In particular, Joo Se-jong's rich experience is expected to be a great help to Gwangju, which is dominated by young players.
