Jeju SK FC is preparing for a century-long future by building a robust pipeline from discovering promising players to their successful establishment on the professional stage.

On the 29th, Jeju announced, "To establish a systematic operation and development system for the club, we have newly appointed Shin Hyun-ho as Technical Director and Jo Jae-min as Youth Director."

Shin Hyun-ho, the new Technical Director, is the person who knows the club best. He played professionally for its predecessor, Bucheon SK, served as the Jeju SK U-18 head coach in 2020, and has worked as a professional scout since 2021. The professional debuts of the team's key prospects, Kim Jun-ha and Choi Byung-wook, also stemmed from his eye for talent. Going forward, Director Shin will be responsible for the overall technical operations of the club, including the management of the squad, player acquisitions, and setting the direction for the youth system.

Director Shin Hyun-ho stated, "As a team I have been connected with since my playing days, I have a special affection for it. I am determined to create a structure where the youth and professional teams are organically connected, establish a firm philosophy unique to Jeju SK, and achieve sustainable results."

Jo Jae-min, who joined alongside Shin, is a self-proclaimed "expert in youth development." He joined Suwon Samsung in 1997 and played professionally. Later, he worked as a Suwon scout, coached Maetan High School, and served as a full-time instructor for the Korea Football Association (KFA). He has accumulated expertise both domestically and internationally, including training in England and obtaining the AFC P-License. Director Jo will be in charge of discovering and training youth players for Jeju SK in the future.

Director Jo Jae-min pledged, "The youth system is a core foundation that determines the future of the club. Based on diverse on-site know-how, I am committed to completing a solid pipeline that seamlessly connects the discovery of promising players to their advancement to the professional level, like interlocking gears."
