Daejeon Hana Citizen of the K League 1 has signed semi-professional contracts with four prospects from U-18 (Chungnam Machinery Technical High School) under Youth, which will be responsible for the future of the club, and caught two rabbits: strengthening and fostering power.

According to the Daejeon club on the 3rd, the main characters who signed the semi-professional contract this time are Park Byung-chan, Kim Do-yeon (third grade), Kim Ji-ho and Koo Hoon-min (second grade).

They are all players who have blossomed their talents in Daejeon Hana Citizen's systematic youth system, and through this contract, they have an opportunity to adapt and grow the professional stage early.

Park Byung-chan (high school senior, MF) is a youth who passed Daejeon Jungang Elementary School and Daejeon Hana Citizen U-15. As a defensive midfielder, he combines excellent ball control, pass and kick skills.

In particular, the forwardness and sharp set-piece kicks that lead to attacks in the midfield are immediately evaluated as a sense of power.

Park Byung-chan said, "Thank you to the club and the manager for the good opportunity. I will do my best to become a player recognized by Daejeon fans," he said.

Kim Do-yeon (high school senior, DF) is a left-sided defender who grew up through Daejeon YNA (U-12) and Daejeon Hana Citizen U-15.

It is a rare left-footed fullback in modern football, and its strengths are accurate crosses and vigorous activity. He is also good at linking with his colleagues and is considered a key resource in side tactics.

Kim Do-yeon said, "I'm happy and excited because I feel like I'm one step closer to my dream. Thank you to the director and all the staff for the opportunity. I will do my best to show the soccer that fans want," he said.

Kim Ji-ho (second year of high school, FW) is a top prospect who has drawn a semi-professional contract despite being a second grader.

It is a bone youth that has passed both Daejeon Hana Citizen U-12 and U-15, boasting explosive speed despite its overwhelming height of 188cm.

It uses both feet freely, has accurate shooting and concise dribbling capabilities, and has attack destructive power that does not cover the sides or center

Kim Ji-ho said, "I'm so happy. Since the days of Daejeon U12, I have played soccer after watching one of the Daejeon professional teams. Since I became a semi-professional, I will be more responsible and pour everything into the ground," he said.

Koo Hoon-min (high school 2, FW) joined Chungnam Machinery Technical High School via Gimpo JUFC (U-12) in Gyeonggi Province and JP Yeonse FC (U-15).

He has an excellent ability to neutralize his opponent with dribbles using his own unique rhythm, and stands out for his attack-oriented pass attempts.

The competition ability based on a solid body balance is also excellent, and it is expected to be a great force in the front.

Koo Hoon-min said, "It's something I've dreamed of since I was young, so I still can't believe it. It is an honor to join a big club called Daejeon Hana Citizen. I will show you a spirited performance like a rookie," he said.

"The four semi-professional contracts have grown through the club's youth system, and we are happy to take their first steps on the professional stage as future resources of Korean soccer, which are consistently selected as representatives by age," the Daejeon Hana Citizen club said. "As they are valuable assets to carry the future of Daejeon Hana Citizen, we will fully support them to grow into players representing the K-League through systematic management and training."

Meanwhile, Daejeon Hana Citizen plans to continue its active investment in the youth development system in the future to further solidify its foundation as a "self-sustaining prestigious club."
