Yongin FC, ahead of its first season, recruited Kim Min-joon (21), the next-generation goalkeeper, to strengthen the mid- to long-term competitiveness of its goalkeeper position. With the recruitment following Lee Seung-joon and Kim Bo-seop, Yongin continued its stormy move toward promotion, completing the formation of a total of 24 players.

Yongin officially announced in a press release on the 2nd that it has recruited goalkeeper Kim Min-joon from Tochigi SC in the Japanese J-League.

Kim Min-joon, born in 2005, is a promising player with fast reflexes and stable game management skills based on his excellent physical condition of 188 centimeters. He was recognized for his potential to receive the nomination first when he was at Daegun High School, an Incheon United youth system, but after graduation, he gained overseas experience by challenging to the Japanese stage.

Yongin selected Kim Min-joon as a key resource that will be responsible for the future of the club, not just a backup resource. Kim Min-joon said, "It is an honor to join as a founding member of Yongin. I'm looking forward to playing with seniors I usually respect, such as Shin Jin-ho and Kim Bo-seop, he said. "I'll contribute to the team by making stable saves."

Yongin Mayor Lee Sang-il said, "Kim Min-joon is a player with both the current potential and potential and meets the club's long-term vision," adding, "I look forward to taking a leap forward as a goalkeeper representing Korean soccer."

Manager Choi Yoon-kyum and Yong-in under the technical director Lee Dong-guk have recently been maximizing their power through all-round recruitment. On the 31st, he added firepower by recruiting winger Lee Seung-joon, who played for the Kor Pacan club in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). With the addition of Lee Eul-yong's son and former U-20 World Cup national team member, Lee Seung-joon, Yongin has a more aggressive offense.

Earlier, Yongin reinforced the offense by recruiting Kim Bo-seop, a striker from Incheon, and Cho Jae-hoon, a former member of Yongin City Football Center, and transfused Lee Jae-joon from Jeonbuk Hyundai and Lee Jin-seop from Ansan Greeners into the defense. In addition, veteran goalkeeper Hwang Sung-min also wore a Yongin uniform.

The central axis is already firm. Starting with Seok Hyun-joon, a former national team member, and Shin Jin-ho, a K-League veteran, the squad was filled with resources that could be immediately put into practice, including Kwak Yun-ho, Kim Han-gil, Kim Hyun-joon and Lim Hyung-jin. Yongin, which has built a total of 24 players, from representative prospects by age to veterans who have experienced all kinds of battles, is stepping up its challenge to promote to the K League 1 in its first year.
