The Pohang Steelers of the K-League 1 (division 1) will continue to accompany veteran midfielder Kim Jong-woo. Pohang announced on Tuesday that it will join Kim next season as it renewed its contract.

Kim Jong-woo, who made his professional debut with Suwon Samsung in 2015, joined Pohang in 2023 after playing for Suwon FC and Gwangju FC. The "King of Pohang," which he expressed his ambition when he joined Pohang, is now a nickname symbolizing Kim Jong-woo.

Kim Jong-woo scored the come-from-behind winning goal in the final of the 2023 Korea Cup (formerly FA Cup) to win the MVP of the competition. As the MVP of the previous year, he contributed to his second consecutive victory by scoring the equalizer and the come-from-behind goal in the final of the 2024 Korea Cup.

Kim Jong-woo said, "I chose to renew my contract because I wanted to win the K League once in Pohang," adding, "Last year, I trusted the players and the coach and had good results, but I'm happy to play soccer with like-minded players again this year." 메이저사이트

"I was so surprised and encouraged by the many fans who came to the Korea Cup final last year," he said, adding, "If you come to my home game this year, I will try to show more interesting soccer."
