Seoul E-Land rookie striker Ahn Joo-wan (17) broke the record for the youngest K-League 2 appearance.

Ahn Joo-wan was substituted in the 30th minute of the second half in an away game against Cheonan City in the fourth round of Hana Bank's K League 2 2026 at Cheonan Stadium on the 21st and spent about 20 minutes on the ground. In particular, in the 41st minute of the second half, he showed off his offensive talent by showing off a cutback attempt following a sharp breakthrough that penetrated the left side of the penalty box.

Anjuwan, who was born on April 14, 2009, made a new history by stepping on the professional stage at the age of 16 years, 11 months, and 7 days. Ahn Ju-wan, who made his debut, said through the club, "I wanted to go into a tie and score a goal, but it was a shame. "I hope we win the next game," he said. "Debut is only our debut. It's just the beginning, so I'll try to do better in the future," he said.

Ahn Ju-wan's record is about four months ahead of Park Seung-soo's 17 years, 3 months and 5 days in 2024, the previous record for the youngest K League 2 business trip. Han Dong-won's record as the youngest player to play in the K-League was 16 years and 25 days in 2002.

With a solid physique of 178 centimeters and 70 kilograms, Anju-wan is a two-legged offensive resource with fast speed, bold breakthrough, and excellent goal determination. Ahn Ju-wan, who was recognized for his talent early by winning the Cha Bum-keun Football Award in 2022, has been considered the best prospect of the same age since middle school.

Ahn Ju-wan was listed as the top scorer in 19 games in the K-League Junior U15 A area in 2023, when he was a second grader in middle school, and led the team to the championship. At that time, he participated in the K League U17 Championship, a high school tournament, and scored one goal in six games, showing that he was not behind in the competition with the upper age group.

In 2024, when he became a junior in middle school, he showed off his overwhelming skills. He showed a phenomenal scoring ability of 39 goals in 18 games in the K-League Junior U15 B area, winning both the top scorer and the championship. In the subsequent K-League U15 Championship, he also proved to be a striker who will lead the next generation of Korean soccer by scoring again with 11 goals in seven games.

Growth continued even after entering high school. At the Spring National High School Championship held earlier this year, he played against seniors in one grade and scored a total of 10 goals, including four in the final, leading the team to the top scorer and the team to win. He has been steadily named in the national team by age and is on an elite course.
