RETIREMENT THOUGHTS
In 2014 he considered quitting the sport while playing for FC Uijeongbu in the third tier of the Korean league system. He returned to professional football the following year, signing for Korean side Gyeongnam FC in the K League 2. "I wanted to quit the sport. I was just gaming everyday. One day my older brother told me, 'Why did you decide to play football?' I remembered that my motivation was for my father, who has an impairment in his leg due to polio. It made me return to the scene." (news.joins.com, 10 Oct 2018; footballist.co.kr, 10 Mar 2021; KBS Sports, 10 Oct 2018)
