Daejeon Hana Citizen of the K League 1 has both Um Won-sang (27) and Rubik's Son (33, Sweden), who played in Ulsan HD.
The Daejeon club officially announced the recruitment of Rubik's son on the 2nd, saying, "Rubik's player will be with Daejeon Hana Citizen." The announcement came two hours after the official announcement of the recruitment of Um Won-sang. Um Won-sang and Rubik'sson played for Ulsan until last season, but they will wear Daejeon uniforms at the same time ahead of the new season.
After joining Ulsan in 2023, Rubik'sson played in 185 K-League games in three seasons and recorded 18 goals and 11 assists. He has accumulated around double-digit offensive points for three consecutive seasons and has been a key offensive resource in Ulsan. He will take on a new challenge in Daejeon through his first transfer in his fourth season in the K League.
Rubik'sson said through the club, "I'm really happy to join Daejeon Hana Citizen. "I've played in this stadium (Daejeon World Cup Stadium) a few times, and I always felt it was a difficult place to get good results," he said. "Daejeon is working on a very interesting project and is moving in the right direction in many areas. "I want to take a leap forward with the team and achieve my goal of winning," he said.
Rubik'sson then said, "We will do everything the club needs to achieve our dreams," adding, "We will play harder and score goals to contribute to leading as many games as possible to victory."
On this day, Daejeon also had Um Won-sang and reinforced its side by recruiting two Ulsan-born players a day.
Um Won-sang, who is also a former national team member, joined Gwangju FC in the 2019 season and helped the team to be promoted, before moving to Ulsan in the 2022 season. In particular, he achieved a "career high" by scoring 12 goals and 6 assists in the K League 1 in the first season of his transfer to Ulsan. The overall K-League record is 34 goals and 20 assists in 166 K-League games and two goals in 16 K-League games. When Paulo Bento (Portugal) was a former coach, he was also selected for the A national team and has a record of playing eight A matches.
The Daejeon club expected, "We have an upgraded offensive presence with the recruitment of Um Won-sang, who can play both left and right sides and central offensive positions using natural speed." Um Won-sang said through the club, "I was very inspired by the play of Daejeon in 2025," adding, "I will do my best to make sure Daejeon wins a big title in 2026.
