Seongnam said on the 7th, “In the 2023 pro team open test, side defender Kim Jin-rae and winger Kim Won-jun passed the final pass over a competition rate of 175:1.”
Seongnam conducted an open test to select players to join the 2023 season. A total of 350 people applied. It went through several selection stages, including document screening and practical tests, and through the evaluation of various judges, including coach Lee Ki-hyung, two players were selected to wear the Seongnam uniform.
The first starting player is defender Kim Jin-rae. Kim Jin-rae, who went through Maetan Middle School and Maetang High School, joined Suwon Samsung after graduating from high school and was loaned to FC Anyang for the 2018 season. He scored 1 point in 24 games in Anyang, then moved to Ansan Greeners and played a total of 53 games in Ansan until the 2021 season. Having transferred to Hansuwon in Gyeongju in the 2022 season, he is from a professional team youth and is evaluated as having good basic skills and stable game operation as an advantage.
The second starting player is Kim Won-joon from Cheongju FC. As a two-footed player, he was praised for his fast dribbling and shooting skills, and his off-the-ball movement. Wonjun Kim joined Cheongju FC for the 2022 season and spent the season. 안전놀이터

Kim Jin-rae and Kim Won-jun, who joined Seongnam through a high competition rate, said, “I participated in an open test with many players on a cold day. All the players involved are talented and eager players. As much as I represent those players, I will show passionate play in the coming season.”
