Jeonbuk Hyundai recruited Park Ji-soo (31), a former national team player, to significantly strengthen its defense line in the 2026 season.

Jeonbuk announced in a press release on the 8th that it has recruited Park Ji-soo with proven skills and leadership to build a stronger and more stable defense. Park Ji-soo, who was born in 1994, is a center back with a solid physique of 187cm and is considered to have strong interpersonal marking skills and rear build-up skills.

Park Ji-soo said, "I'm very happy to be with Jeonbuk Hyundai, the best prestigious team in the K-League," adding, "I understand the philosophy of victory that Jeonbuk is aiming for." I will protect Jeonbuk's pride by playing dedicated defense every game so that fans can feel proud," he said.

Park Ji-soo is the epitome of a growing defender from the bottom. He joined Incheon United in 2013, but failed to take the opportunity and headed to K3 League FC Uijeongbu in 2014. Since then, he joined Gyeongnam FC in 2015 and played until 2018, becoming a top K-League defender.

Based on these performances, he moved to Guangzhou Hengda (currently Guangzhou FC) in the Chinese Super League in 2019, and later played on the K League 1 stage with Suwon FC loan and military service at Gimcheon Sangmu. After being discharged from the military, he joined Portimonens in Portugal in 2023 and experienced the European stage, and until recently, he played in Wuhan San match in China before joining Jeonbuk in the 2026 season.

He has not only rich club experience but also international stage experience. He has served as a member of the national team by age (U-17, U-23) and also played 16 A matches for the senior national team. Jeonbuk expects Park Ji-soo to take the center stage of the defense and play a new leadership role based on his various league experiences.
