"As much as you believe in my potential and choose, I will learn a lot from my seniors and train them to grow into a reliable goalkeeper who gives trust to the fans," he said.
Regarding new goalkeeper Kim Tae-san, the club said, "Kim Tae-san's greatest strength is his instant defense and saving ability using his excellent reflexes and long arms. He is also highly evaluated tactically because he has a speedy and accurate kick power even in the rear build-up situation required of goalkeepers in modern soccer."
E-Land then said, "He is also a player who has been brilliant on the high school stage. "Based on his stable game management ability and defensive reading, he proved his potential and value early by winning the GK Award for the second consecutive year at the 2024 Baekrokgi U17 Youth Cup following the 2023 Muhakgi U17 Youth Cup," he said.
Born in 2007, goalkeeper Kim Tae-san is 185 centimeters tall and went through Yongin Deok-young U-15 and U-18.
