At the call of "old teacher" Yoon Jung-hwan, he goes to Gangwon FC

Six games and seven goals... K-League 1 Scores Surprise Lead

The K-League 1 Gangwon FC scored its first goal 32 seconds after the opening game of the 2024 season against the Jeju United of the K-League 1 at Songam Sports Town in Chuncheon on April 2. The hero was Lee Sang-hun, who was almost unknown. Lee Sang-hun, who showed strong presence from the first game, is creating a new sensation in the K-League's top scorer competition this season.

Lee Sang-hun has been leading the scoring position by scoring seven goals through the sixth round. Lee was a promising midfielder. A native of Ulsan Youth, he scored a comeback goal in the match against Portugal in the round of 16 at the U-20 World Cup in 2017. Lee was expected to play a successful career when he joined Ulsan in 2017, but had to move to Busan I'Park in the K League 2. In the second division league, he showed off his skills by scoring seven goals and three assists in the 2022 season, but failed to get a chance as he played in only five matches in the 2023 season.

It was Kangwon National Team Manager Yoon Jeong-hwan who gave a hand to Lee Sang-hun. Yoon was a leader who recognized Lee Sang-hun's potential when he was leading the Hyundai High School soccer team. "He was a good goaltender and had a strong ambition to score goals," Yoon said, changing Lee's position to striker. 메이저사이트

Since then, Lee has been flying fast, meeting expectations of his coach Yoon. Lee has scored in five of the six matches this season, except against Hana Citizen in Daejeon. In the match against FC Seoul on March 31, he tied the match 1-1 with a dramatic equalizer in the 40th minute of the second half, and scored multiple goals in two consecutive matches on the last three and seven days. In spite of Lee's performance, Kangwon has reversed the assessment that he is weak, and has recorded two wins, three draws and one loss (ranking ninth with a score point of 5th).
