LEAVING UNIVERSITY EARLY
He was originally set to join Japanese J1 League club Kashima Antlers from Hosei University in 2021, but he decided to leave university two years early and joined the club in July 2019. "I really appreciate the Hosei University staff and players who have accepted this decision. Thanks to the days I spent at Hosei University, I've grown a lot, and it took me about six months to make a decision, but when I think about my growth, I believe this is the best choice."
