Choi Joon (FC Seoul) is feeling the effect of joining Kim Jin-soo.

Choi joined the K-League 1 stage for the first time after moving to Seoul from Busan I'Park last year. Although he was not included in the lineup for the opening game, he showed his presence as a substitute starting from the second round match against Incheon United.

Afterwards, he perfectly took the right-hand side spot. Choi gave life to the side with his unique amount of activity and combative play.

In the middle of the season, he also played as a third-line midfielder. Seoul coach Kim Ki-dong, who had weaknesses in the third-line team, changed when Ki Sung-yueng was sidelined due to an injury, placing Choi Jun, who plays a lot, in the center. Choi Joon received absolute support from fans as he continued his activities as a central midfielder.

Having been exempted from military service due to the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games gold medal, Choi underwent basic military training this year and immediately headed to Hanoi, Vietnam, the site of the first training camp in Seoul. He then joined the off-season training in Kagoshima, Japan to prepare for the season.

Choi Joon, who met in Kagoshima, Japan, on the 5th, laughed, "I learned a lot even though the military training was not long, about three weeks. I couldn't exercise in it, but it was fun to come out and exercise."

Naturally, his physical condition has not risen as much as other players. He said, "It is not easy to lift up my body for sure because I rested from exercise. Actually, I am in a hurry. The movement I want is not coming out well. Before I went to the training center, I thought I would be able to follow him, but I didn't. While training in Japan, I became impatient. If there is no talk about it, I think I would have kept training, but because Juningyo knows his condition, he is definitely cutting it off to prevent injury."

Looking back on the previous season, Choi said, "It was my first season in the K-League 1, and I felt great. The team also showed good results and I produced not bad results. I will do my best to make the national team better this year and the team will perform better."

Choi won the KEF Player of the Year award for the 2024 season, which was handpicked by fans in Seoul. This means that he was indispensable to the team. "I expected Lingard, but I was glad that the fans gave a good impression. I received both Player of the Month and Player of the Year, and when I received it, I wanted to get it again. I felt that I had to do better."

Seoul, which recruited Kim Jin-soo, Moon Sun-min, Jung Seung-won and Lee Han-do in turn, is considered the favorite. "I think it's possible when you look at the members. They are all members of the national team and there are so many good players. They have strong thoughts on winning, but they have to play soccer again. No one will know until the opening of the season. I look forward to it, but I won't be excited. I try to focus on the first game," Choi said.

He also expressed his reconciliation with Kim in detail. In a match between Jeonbuk and Seoul in July last year, Kim was ejected for hitting Choi Jun in the abdomen. As a result, some fans did not welcome Kim's recruitment even when Kim moved to Seoul. 메이저놀이터

"After the game, I got a call from Jin-su. He said, "I am sorry but I didn't do it on purpose. If I did it on purpose, I would have been hurt more. Players know everything. I wondered if I could have apologized that much if I was in the opposite situation," Choi said.

He added, "Actually, it was a question that the incident was bigger, but I don't think the fans were aware of the situation. It was so nice to have Jin-su. There are many things to learn and set the tone during the training. I talked a lot and gave him a lot of energy, which brightened the atmosphere of the training."
