"We checked the possibilities of our players."

Kim Hak-beom, head coach of Jeju SK, commented as he wrapped up his off-season training in Japan.

Jeju started off-season training in Kagoshima, Japan from the 18th of last month. Jeju, which has been tempering for the new season at Seogwipo Club House in Jeju since late December last year, has enhanced its sense of practice by playing practice matches with local teams such as Shimizu Espulse and Kano Yatse University along with intensive physical training in Kagoshima.

The new players showed outstanding performance. Lee Kun-hee scored a hat trick in the Kano Yatai match, and Dongjin Park Choi Byung-wook and Kim Jun-ha also scored a goal. In particular, Dongjin Park, nicknamed 「Crazy Dog" for its tough play and intense fighting spirit, turned into"Seogury Poppi" with its unique affinity and communication skills as well as goal hunting, which is its main job, and raised expectations by properly serving as a bridge within the team. Coach Kim said, `We confirmed the possibilities of our players through the Kagoshima training camp. The newly recruited players also melted quickly and became the original team."

Jeju, which returns home from its Kagoshima schedule on the 4th, will take a day off and begin training again at the clubhouse from the 6th. FC Seoul will play the opening game of the 2025 K League 1 at the Jeju World Cup Stadium on the 15th. Manager Kim said "The variable is that the season has been opened earlier, but all the players thought positively."Now I'll fill up my confidence in our nest to make a good performance in the home opener" he said.

The Dongjin Park "All the team members are incorporating into the tactics and philosophy that the coach wants"The team atmosphere is really good. I also feel that I have developed further by competing in good faith with good seniors and juniors"I looked back on the last training period. "Unfortunately, I have high expectations for welcoming my home team to Seoul at the home opening game," he said. "I will do my best to show fans what they expect."
