On the 19th, Chungbuk Cheongju announced that it has strengthened its defensive lineup by loaning in defender Park Jin-young from Seoul E-Land.

Park Jin-young is a center-back with a solid physique of 188cm and 85kg. His strengths include build-up ability based on stable ball control and coverage of space behind the defense utilizing his wide range of movement. He can also play as a defensive midfielder, earning him recognition as a versatile resource with high tactical utility.

While attending Yeongdeungpo Industrial High School, Park Jin-young drew attention by leading the team to victory in the Geumgang Cup National High School Soccer Tournament. He later enrolled at Hongik University, where he played various positions and became a key asset for his team.

Building on his performances at the university level, he was selected for the Korean-Japanese University Regular Match All-Star Team in 2023, gaining international experience.

Park Jin-young made his professional debut after joining DaeguFC in 2024. He appeared in 25 matches during his first season, proving his competitiveness. In the 2025 season, he played in 16 games, consistently accumulating playing experience and recording assists in consecutive seasons, demonstrating his ability to initiate attacks from the backline.

Moving to Seoul E-Land ahead of the 2026 season, Park Jin-young has continued his performances with nine appearances this season. Having steadily accumulated experience at the professional level, he is expected to bring stability to Chungbuk CheongjuFC's defense while also playing a key role in build-up play connecting the backline and midfield.

In particular, Park Jin-young's ability to play both as a center-back and a defensive midfielder will not only expand the options for Chungbuk Cheongju's defensive lineup but also add greater flexibility to tactical adjustments depending on game situations.

Park Jin-young stated, "When I faced Chungbuk CheongjuFC as an opponent, I was impressed that they were a difficult team to play against. Now, I am happy and honored to be part of Chungbuk CheongjuFC." He added, "As this is my first time working with a foreign coach, I will do my best to adapt quickly to the team and deliver the kind of football the team desires."
