Seok Hyun-jun (35), a former national team striker who has been on the European stage, will perform the last dance for the hometown team where his soccer life began.

Seok Hyun-joon attended a press conference after the Yongin FC founding ceremony held at Yongin Poeun Art Hall on the 4th. To the reporters, Seok Hyun-jun said, "I prepared it with a desperate heart. I was eager to come back. Thankfully, Yongin gave me a chance, he said. "The director, director, and team leader all said they actively wanted me. Thank you so much and I value the effort. I don't know what you've done to me, but thank you for the opportunity. I will show you a better and sincere appearance," he said.

Seok Hyun-jun, who returned to the domestic stage after living abroad, recently coordinated his senses by serving in social service and playing at Namyangju FC (2025) through Jeonju Citizens' Football Team in 2023.

The recruitment is a result of the strong will of technical director Lee Dong-guk and the club. The strategy is to establish the club's identity with a star from Yongin.

Director Lee Dong-guk said, "I chose Seok Hyun-jun as the first recruitment." He is characterized as a player who grew up in Yongin and plans to make him a franchise star. I just want you to do well," he said.

"Seok Hyun-jun is not a small age. While talking on the phone, he said he would pass on all the know-how to play until the age of 40. Everyone will know his ability. Now it's all up to Seok Hyun-jun," he said, giving full trust.

Seok has a deep connection with Yongin. I went through Baekam Middle School and Singal High School since elementary school. Since his professional debut at the prestigious AFC Ajax in the Netherlands in 2009, he has been living in Yongin while traveling throughout Europe, including Portugal (FC Porto, Vitoria FC, etc.), Turkey (Travezonspor), and France (Trua AC, Stade de Reims).

Seok said, "Yongin is where I played in middle and high school. I learned a lot before I came to the profession. "Without Yongin, I would not have been able to challenge foreign countries," he said, adding, "Yongin FC's influence on the national team and the professional team was too great. I was grateful and honored to say that the club wanted me to be founded," he stressed.
