FC Seoul, currently leading the K League 1 table alone this season, has signed Kim Min-joon (23), who honed his skills steadily in the K4 League. He is the protagonist of a dramatic turnaround, rising directly from lower-tier leagues to one of K League 1's prestigious clubs.

Seoul announced on the 10th via press release that it successfully signed defensive midfielder Kim Min-joon on a rookie contract, strengthening its midfield.

Kim Min-joon, who attended Gwacheon High School and Kyung Hee University, is a defensive midfielder who has proven his value not through flashiness but through relentless movement and dedicated play. After playing at the university level, he recently competed in the K4 League with Seosan Pioneer FC, building his competitiveness on the senior stage. Kim Min-joon, who steadily demonstrated his potential from the bottom of the lower leagues, has now been selected by Seoul to play in his first professional top-tier match.

Upon joining Seoul, Kim Min-joon stated through the club: "I am deeply honored to have the opportunity to play for FC Seoul, South Korea's top club, and I cherish this chance." He added, "As the team pursues mobile football, I want to run more than anyone else, make sacrifices, and contribute. Every time I watch Seoul matches, I am always amazed by the passionate support of the fans. I hope to soon prove my value and experience the moment when fans chant my name."

According to the club, Kim Min-joon stands at 180cm tall. His strength lies in his ability to balance offense and defense in the midfield, backed by his high activity level and mobility. He not only secures space for teammates through wide-ranging movement but also possesses the ability to maintain attacking flow with concise decision-making and stable link-up play when in possession of the ball.

Seoul focused on Kim Min-joon's high activity level, mobility, and spirit of sacrifice for the team. In particular, they judged that his style aligns well with coach Kim Ki-dong's tactical approach, which demands extensive movement and sacrifice. Evaluating not only his current abilities but also his future potential highly, Seoul proceeded with the signing. As Seoul competes in both K League 1 and the AFC Champions League Two (ACL2), Kim Min-joon's addition has deepened the team's midfield rotation options.
