A violation of alcohol-related regulations occurred within the Bucheon FC squad in K League 1. Shin Jae-won, who joined ahead of this season, has been handed a fine penalty.

An official well-versed in soccer affairs told StarNews on the 15th that "Shin Jae-won violated internal squad regulations regarding alcohol consumption" and confirmed he "received a fine of 5 million won."

Shin Jae-won left Seongnam FC to don the Bucheon jersey ahead of this season. However, he underwent surgery for a stress fracture in his shin and is currently focused on rehabilitation.

In light of this, he violated internal squad regulations concerning alcohol consumption and received disciplinary action from the club.

This year, Shin Jae-won has appeared in 13 K League 1 matches and recorded one goal. Shin is also the son of Shin Tae-yong, former head coach of Ulsan HD and current manager of Persija Jakarta (Indonesia).

Bucheon sits 11th in the league with five wins, nine draws, and eight losses (24 points). However, the gap to ninth-place Daejeon Hana Citizen (26 points) is not large, placing them in a position where they can move up at any time. They will face Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors at home on the 16th.

Meanwhile, Bucheon has terminated the contract with goalkeeper Kim Chan-young. Currently, starting goalkeeper Kim Hyung-geun is also listed as injured. With only Kim Hyun-yup available as an immediate-ready goalkeeper, the club temporarily addressed the emergency by loaning in U-21 player Ahn Sang-hyun.

Regarding Ahn Sang-hyun, Bucheon stated: "He possesses excellent physical attributes at 190cm and 80kg. A prospect who was recognized early as a next-generation goalkeeper after attending Pohang Jeolcheol Elementary, Tongjin Middle School, and Tongjin High School." The club added that he is "highly regarded for having no clear weaknesses, combining solid aerial ability based on his strong physique with stable saving skills and excellent kicking ability."
