The K League 1 Pohang Steelers have completed the formation of new leadership to lead the team in the 2026 season. Jeon Min-kwang (32), who wore the captain's armband last season, will serve a second term, and reserve Park Chan-yong (30) will join as vice captain to help.
The Pohang club officially announced in a press release on the 16th that it has appointed Jeon Min-kwang as the captain to lead the new season and Park Chan-yong as the vice captain.
Captain Jeon Min-kwang first took over as captain last season, filling Wandelson's injury gap. According to the club, Jeon Min-kwang was evaluated as leading the team stably with his unique inclusive leadership, and took over as captain for the second consecutive year.
Jeon Min-kwang said through Pohang, "I felt a lot of pressure as I was the captain during the season last year, but my teammates followed me well and trusted me, which was a great help." "I will lead the team well by setting an example with a sense of responsibility rather than a burden," he said.
Park Chan-yong, who was appointed as vice-captain, returned to the team after being discharged from the military and quickly melted and showed off his presence. Park Chan-yong, who gained the trust of his juniors with his sincere attitude and responsibility, will help Jeon Min-kwang to serve as a bridge for the team.
Park Chan-yong said, "I feel different emotions because I was appointed as vice-captain in the new season when I am discharged from the military," adding, "I will try to help my captain (former) Min-kwang and senior brothers well, and lead my juniors well to achieve better results than last year."
After the appointment of the captain, the Pohang team left for Bali, Indonesia on the 12th and is focusing on winter training for the 2026 season.
