Cho In-jung (21), a promising player born in 2005 of Jeju SK FC, emerged as a new vitality for the team by scoring an intense debut goal on the K League 1 stage.

Cho In-jung started in the fifth round of the "Hana Bank K League 1 2026" away game at Gangneung Stadium on the 22nd and scored the first goal and his professional debut goal with a strong left-footed mid-range shot in the 16th minute of the first half.

Jo In-jung, who took the opportunity to play in place of the main left back Kim Ryun-sung, added a sense of stability not only in scoring but also in defense with an excellent physical defense. He was active on both sides of offense and defense until he was replaced by muscle spasms in the 20th minute of the second half, impressing even though the game ended in a 1-1 draw.

Cho In-jung, who has stood out since she was a student at Sinpyeong High School, joined Jeju SK in the 2024 season based on her 184cm, 75kg physique and sharp kick power. After changing his position from midfielder to left-back after entering the professional league, he played only two league games in his first year of debut, and last season he had a hard time without a chance to play in the league other than the Korea Cup. However, he proved his value by perfectly responding to coach Sergio Costa's unconventional selection of starters.

Jeju SK, which has recently seen a series of promising players of the same age born in 2005, such as Kim Joon-ha, Choi Byung-wook and Park Min-jae, have exploded their potential even to Cho In-jeong, giving them a great boost in the team's management.

After the game, Jo In-jung said, "I'm not satisfied with this and I want to continue to prove that the future of Jeju SK is bright like my friends of the same age," adding, "I'll do my best in every game so that fans think I'm a really dedicated and hard-working player."
