When Union Berlin striker Jung Woo-young (27) scored his first league goal, who was the happiest person in the stadium. It was Jung Woo-young's father-in-law and actor Lee Kwang-ki (58).
Berlin drew 2-2 at home in the 16th round of the "2025-2026 German Bundesliga" against Mainz at Stadion-An der Alten Försterai in Berlin, Germany on the 10th (Korea time).
The two teams shared one point each. Berlin came in ninth with 22 points (6 wins, 4 draws, 6 losses), and Mainz came in 18th, the lowest with 9 points (1 win, 6 draws, 9 losses).
Jung Woo-young was substituted in the 25th minute of the second half when he was being dragged 0-2 and scored his first goal in the league in seven minutes. He exquisitely changed the direction of the cross from the left with a header and shook the net.
Jung Woo-young, who scored a goal in the league, scored his third offensive point of the season, including one assist in the league and one goal in the German Football Association (DFB) Pokal (Cup Competition).
Both Korean players laughed amid the "Korean Derby" on the day. Jung Woo-young scored his first goal in the league, and Lee Jae-sung scored his first help in the league. Lee Jae-sung helped Nadhim Amiri score the first goal with an exquisite forward pass in the 30th minute of the first half. As a result, Lee Jae-sung has six offensive points for the season, including two goals and one assist in the league and one goal and two assists in the UEFA Conference League.
Mainz, who scored the first goal with the help of Lee Jae-sung, gained momentum and Benedict Hollerbach scored an additional goal in the 24th minute of the second half. However, Berlin's counterattack began with Jung Woo-young's input. Jung Woo-young's chasing goal in the 32nd minute of the second half and Marine Ljubicic's equalizer in the 41st minute of the second half ended the game with a 2-2 draw.
There was a special guest in the stands on this day. This is Jung Woo-young's father-in-law Lee Kwang-ki. After the game, Lee Kwang-ki expressed overwhelming emotion on his social media (SNS). Posting a selfie with Jung Woo-young, he said, "My son-in-law is the best! "It's cool that I scored my first (league) goal in the first game of the new year in front of me," he wrote.
"[Daughter] Yeon Ji-do's queen of internal affairs, should I continue to intuit? Lee Jae-sung and (Jung) Woo-young are both good at the Korean Derby," he said, expressing joy.
Jung Woo-young, who played in Berlin on loan last season, made a complete transfer ahead of this season. There was a big crisis last season, such as getting on the operating table with a serious ankle injury, but Jung Woo-young faced a double celebration of marriage as well as a complete transfer.
Jung Woo-young, who married Lee Yeon-ji, Lee Kwang-ki's daughter, in June, said on her SNS at the time, "I promised to meet my loved ones and be with them for the rest of my life. Thank you very much to everyone who blessed me, and please keep an eye on me with warm eyes. I'll live a pretty life," he said.
Jung Woo-young was slightly below expectations with only five league starts this season, but he is gradually recovering his sharp appearance as he enters the season.
