Ulsan Hyundai FC sends their sincere wishes to Seol Young-woo on his departure and urges fans to go to Ulsan Hyundai's home stadium to watch the 19th round of the K-League match against Daegu FC on June 26th to see Seol Young-woo off. The club hopes that the fans will be there to support Seol Young-woo and thank him for his contribution to the team.
Seol Young-woo, 25, can play both left and right wingback positions. He joined Ulsan Hyundai in 2020 and quickly made a name for himself in the team. He was voted K-League Rookie of the Year for his performances in the 2021 season and made his national team debut in South Korea's friendly against El Salvador last June. Seol Young-woo also represented South Korea at the Qatar Asian Cup earlier this year.
Although he previously underwent shoulder surgery and is expected to be sidelined until July, it did not affect his decision to join Red Star Belgrade. Seol Young-woo thus becomes the second Korean player to play for Red Star Belgrade after Hwang In-bum.
The addition of Xue Yingyu will inject new energy and defensive strength into Red Star Belgrade. As a versatile wingback, he excels in both offense and defense, providing the team with a variety of tactical options. Red Star Belgrade is looking forward to the arrival of Xue Yingyu and hopes that he will continue to grow and contribute to the team in his new environment.
Seol Young-woo's departure is a considerable loss for Ulsan Hyundai, but it is also a major step forward in his personal career. With him joining Red Star Belgrade, he will be challenged and trained at a higher level of the league. Fans are also looking forward to seeing him show his strength on a new stage and make a name for Korean soccer. Ulsan Hyundai supporters will always remember what he has done for the team and send their best wishes for his new journey.
