Kim Seung-dae (35), a Pohang Steel Youth alumnus who shone in 300 K League 1 matches, will hold his retirement ceremony with Pohang Steelers.

Pohang announced via a press release on the 5th that Kim's retirement ceremony will be held during the home match against UlsanHD at Pohang Steel Yard at 8 p.m. on the 8th.

According to the club, the theme of the retirement ceremony, 'BEYOND THE LINE,' was inspired by Kim's nickname, 'LINE Breaker.' It carries the meaning of cheering for Kim as he moves beyond his line as a player and welcomes a new beginning.

Kim is a Pohang Steel Youth alumnus who was born in Pohang and attended Pohang Jecheol Elementary School, Pohang Jecheol Middle School, and Pohang Jecheol High School. After attending Yeungnam University, Kim made his professional debut and appeared in 300 K League 1 matches, recording 48 goals and 50 assists. In particular, while playing for Pohang, he recorded 216 matches, 43 goals, and 39 assists, playing a key role in winning the 2013 K League 1 title and the 2013 and 2023 FA Cup (now Korea Cup).

Various events to celebrate the retirement of the club legend are scheduled. Pohang has prepared a photo zone and commemorative tickets where fans can recall Kim Seung-dae.

Kim Seung-dae will also repay his fans. With gratitude in his heart, he will gift beverages to 1,200 people, representing his jersey number 12. At Steel Store N, three types of merchandise including a retirement commemorative muffler, a uniform keychain, and patches featuring Kim Seung-dae will be sold.

The main retirement ceremony will take place during halftime. After screening a tribute video showcasing his playing days, the event will proceed with the reading of a retirement speech followed by a commemorative photo session. Pohang youth players will join the ceremony to support their senior from the Steel Youth and convey their respect for Kim's new beginning.
