The professional soccer K League 1 Incheon United has secured momentum to lead the team's future by recruiting newcomers Oh Joon-yeop (23) and Ko Jung-min (18), who have distinguished themselves in college and high school football.

The Incheon club announced on the 9th that it has recruited midfielder Oh Joon-yeop from Hanyang University and defender Ko Jung-min from Boyne High School in Seoul as new players.

Oh Joon-yeop (177cm, 72kg), who was recruited from Hanyang University with immediate power, is a midfielder with excellent ability to play in the midfield. He has experienced the European soccer system early while playing for Portugal's SC Parrens (U-23) in 2022, and has been considered one of the best midfielders on the university stage, including being selected for the 2022 Korea-Japan college football regular (Denso Cup) national team.

Ko Jeong-min (188cm, 80kg), who went straight from Boyne High School in Seoul, is a "left-footed center defender" who is highly rare in modern soccer. He has excellent control over the right to provide based on his solid 188cm physique, and his accurate long pass in build-up situations and ability to manage the game have received great attention since his high school days. Ko Jung-min built up solid basics through Hakseong Elementary School and Gijang Middle School, and played as a key defender of Boin High School, taking responsibility for the team's stability.

A club official said, "We expect that the recruitment of two new players, Oh Joon-yeop and Ko Young-min, who have been verified on the college and high school stages, will help strengthen future competitiveness and improve the team's constitution."

The two players, who have completed medical tests and other entry procedures, will immediately join team training and begin tempering in the 2026 season.
