Gu Bon-seo (18), who once drew attention alongside Kim Ye-geon (18, Jeonbuk Hyundai) as a football prodigy, has also become a professional player.

Jeju SK announced on the 14th that it had signed Gu Bon-seo, an all-around attacking resource from Sinpyeong High School.

Gu Bon-seo is a former 'football prodigy' who appeared as a coach on the JTBC football variety program "Let's Kick Together" in 2020 alongside Kim Ye-geon and others while playing for Cheongju FCK, drawing attention at the time.

Afterward, he played for Suwon Samsung U15 team, Yeom Gi-hoon Soccer Center U15, and Ulsan Hyundai U18 team before continuing his activities at Sinpyeong High School, eventually receiving a love call from Jeju SK and moving to the professional stage.

Gu Bon-seo was also recognized for his talent, having been selected as a participant in FC Bayern World Squad, an international youth project operated by Bayern Munich, for two consecutive years.

The club introduced Gu Bon-seo as capable of playing both attacking midfielder and winger, citing his ball possession ability, pressure-breaking skills, and advancing dribbling ability as strengths.

Club officials added, "We expect him to exert high influence in the process of attack development based on his excellent ball control and technique in tight spaces," and "He possesses strong kicking power for medium- and long-range passes, crosses, and shooting abilities, enabling him to create threatening scenes in various attacking situations."

Through the club, Gu Bon-seo expressed his feelings: "I am truly happy and honored to join Jeju SK. Although there is still much I need to learn, I will strive to grow by giving my best at every moment and become a player who brings joy and trust to Jeju SK FC fans."
