Suwon Samsung in the K League 2, which has been strengthening its power since head coach Lee Jung-hyo took the helm, is close to recruiting another big fish player.

According to the soccer community on the 15th, the Suwon club is close to recruiting Ko Seung-beom (32), an Ulsan HD midfielder. Suwon is set to strengthen its power in the form of giving up young players such as Lee Min-hyuk (24) and Park Woo-jin (23) and embracing Ko Seung-beom, who can be used as a key power right away.

When the transfer negotiations are completed, Ko Seung-beom will return to Suwon, a "friendly team," for the first time in three years. Ko Seung-beom joined Suwon in 2016 and made his professional debut, then played for Suwon until Suwon was demoted in 2023 after playing Daegu FC (rental) and Gimcheon Sangmu (military service). Since then, Suwon has been relegated to the bottom of the K League 1 and moved to Ulsan to take on new challenges.

Ko Seung-beom, who has been playing as a key midfielder representing the K-League even after moving to Ulsan, was seriously hurt in September last year when his second childbirth and team training schedules overlapped, and eventually asked the club to transfer. The Ulsan club, where head coach Kim Hyun-seok was newly appointed, tried to stay in Ko Seung-beom, the core of the midfield, but in the end failed to break Ko's willingness to transfer.

As a result, "Lee Jung Hyo-ho" Suwon will build a truly powerful power as it has strengthened its power in all directions throughout the winter transfer market, starting with Lee Jung-hyo, who is considered the best leader of the K League. In terms of the players' power, it is evaluated as a "second-tier" power, with no clear competitive team in K League 2.

Jungwon, where Ko Seung-beom will join immediately, has already joined Jung Ho-yeon, a midfielder from the national team and a lover of coach Lee Jung-hyo. Midfielder Park Hyun-bin, who is considered a contributor to the promotion of Bucheon FC last season, has already moved to Suwon. In addition, Ko Seung-beom, who has played as a top midfielder in K League 1, is expected to take on a key role in the midfield. The weight of the midfield is extraordinary.

It's not just that. Including goalkeeper Kim Joon-hong, center backs Hong Jung-ho and Song Ju-hoon, and strikers Hayes and Pesin, power reinforcement has been made across the entire region. Most of the players have already proven their competitiveness on the K-League stage, and even the head coach who encompasses them as one is head coach Lee Jung-hyo. Suwon's third attempt at promotion to the K League 1 was the third of its kind, which suffered a shocking relegation to the bottom of the K League 1 in the 2023 season. Expectations of Suwon fans as well as K-League fans are growing only with the change of the head coach and the reinforcement of power.
