Jeonbuk Hyundai announced on the 13th that it has strengthened its future competitiveness by recruiting 12 new players.
It is composed of top prospects who have distinguished themselves on the college stage and in high school football, led by former Jeonbuk Hyundai U18 Jeonju Young Student High School, a youth system of Jeonbuk Hyundai.
Jeonbuk Hyundai signed a formal professional contract with Lee Hang-yeol (GK), Han Seok-jin (RFW), and Kim Soo-hyung (CB), who showed their potential as a semi-professional in the 2025 season. As they have already experienced the adult team stage, they are expected to speed up their team adaptation.
Park Hyun-min (MF), a former youth of the same age, also signed a professional contract in recognition of his potential, and Moon Joon-hyuk (MF) of Jeonju University also joined the professional team ahead of this season.
Three players, who reigned as strong players in college football, also built their nests in Jeonbuk Hyundai. Kwak Hee-byeok (RB, Dankook University), Jung Dae-young (GK, Kyungmin University), and Woo Hyun-soo (DM, Kwangwoon University) played as the core of the team in college and were immediately equipped with skills equivalent to power.
Four of the top prospects on the high school stage also joined. Kim Joo-hyung (CB) and Lee Kun-hee (CM), a former rising powerhouse of high school football, as well as Kim Doo-hyun (FW) of Shin Tae-in FC and Ahn Tae-hoon (LWF) of traditional prestigious Bupyeong High School, will inject young energy into the offense and defense of Jeonbuk Hyundai N Team.
The 12 rookies recruited this time will belong to the Jeonbuk Hyundai N Team and gain practical experience through the K3 League.
The club said, "The future of the team has become brighter with the harmony of young people who understand the club's philosophy and excellent external resources," adding, "Fans, please support the players who will be the new main players of Jeonbuk."
Meanwhile, the players who have completed the recruitment process will join the team's official training and go on a winter training trip to Bali, Indonesia on Wednesday.
