Jeon Min-kwang (32) of the Pohang Steelers in the K League 1 professional football league will take over as the "New Captain."
Pohang announced on the 10th that it will change its team captain from Wandelson to Jeon Min-gwang on the team's SNS.
Wandelson, who was the first foreign captain in the history of Pohang last year, wore the captain's armband again this year. However, he recently suffered an injury and is forced to sit out for a long time. Eventually, Jeon Min-kwang will take over as captain. "I would like to inform you that this season's captain has been changed to Jeon Min-gwang due to Wandelson's injury," the Pohang club said.
Center back Jeon Min-kwang, who has played for Pohang since 2019, has been a key member of the team. His excellent position selection stands out in calm defense. Last year, Pohang coach Park Tae-ha praised Jeon for his performance award, saying, "It is the core of the team's core this year." In the 2025 season, Jeon has played in three league games and is leading the team's defense. In a home game against Daegu FC on the 1st, he held a ceremony to commemorate his 100th appearance in the K League 1 of Pohang. He has played 101 games so far while wearing Pohang's uniform.
Jeon also played for Seoul E-Land from 2015 to 2018. He also played in 103 matches in the K League 2.
However, this is his first time as a captain. It has been 10 years since his debut as a pro. "This is my first time as a captain in a professional league, and I will do my best with responsibility as much as you have given me trust," Jeon said. "I will listen to my brothers and lead them and always try to show good performances." 카지노
This year, Pohang ranked lowest (12th) in the league with one draw and two losses (1 point). It is important to win for the first time. Jeon Min-kwang's shoulders are also heavy. Attention is focusing on whether the appointment of the captain will be a turning point.
