Kim Dong-jin (22), the new engine of the Pohang Steelers, was always ready to play an active role. He is also preparing a special ceremony that fans can look forward to.

Pohang won 2-0 in the 15th round of the "Hana Bank K League 1 2025" match against FC Anyang at Anyang Stadium on the 23rd. Pohang, which lost 0-1 in the previous match against Gwangju FC, successfully reversed the atmosphere again by catching Anyang. Pohang overwhelmed Anyang with Eo Jung-won's score in the 8th minute of the second half and Kim In-sung's score in the 16th minute of the second half.

Kim Dong-jin, who started as a central midfielder, was also one of the main players of the victory. Before being replaced in the 44th minute of the second half, Kim Dong-jin contributed to both defense and attack against Anyang's midfield, adding stability to the Pohang midfielder's team. Kim Dong-jin said, "It was time to win, but it brought results. I'm relieved that my performance came out well with a score of 2-0 along with no points." "I've been playing often recently, and I have a desire to show good performance, but I think I have a role to play. I just want to hit my head and defend, run a lot, and play in this spirit. That part is coming out well, but I need to improve my turnovers and pass misses."

Kim Dong-jin, who will be wearing Pohang University's uniform ahead of the 2024 season, has been highly anticipated since his recruitment. He has drawn attention as an ace player at Hannam University, and has won four gold medals including the National Sports Festival starting with the 2023 Spring League MVP, leading Hannam University to a fourth consecutive victory. He also played 25 official matches and 18 matches in the league alone in his first season in Pohang, receiving numerous opportunities. It was his debut season, however, which was all the more regrettable for him. "Although he played in a total of 25 matches in his first season as a pro last year, he did not have any impact and did not show good performance. I think there must have been some things that fans were looking forward to, but I had a lot of regrets," he said.

This season's expectations were greater than opportunities. He played his first match of the season against Gwangju in the fourth round, and had to wait more than a month on the bench. Not to be disappointed, Kim focused on preparation for the opportunity to come, and seized the opportunity as a starter again. "I had a lot of regrets when I got the opportunity against Gwangju," said Kim, who started four consecutive league games after the 12th round against Ulsan. So, I was preparing hard from the back. Starting from the Ulsan branch, the coach gave me a good impression. "I'm constantly receiving opportunities, but I can't express that I've settled down yet. I can't be complacent every game. If I play my part, I can get opportunities consistently. I don't have any complaints about not playing well, and I just have to prepare myself well for my role."

She also clearly expressed her confidence. She also expressed her commitment to display strong shooting and kick skills in front of fans this season. "I am confident in shooting and kick skills. I heard many people around me say that I am good at it. Last year, I was rather unable to display performance due to pressure. Even my seniors often say that since I am good at shooting, I will hit them. I am trying one or two at every game. I am ready to try anytime. If I score a goal, I have decided on a ceremony, so you can look forward to it," Kim said with a smile. 토토사이트

A clear goal is also necessary for growth. He chose A national team midfielder Hwang In-beom as his role model. "In the past, I thought Casemiro (from Brazil) was my role model because I lacked defense and fighter skills. Now that I think I have that part, I want to be like Hwang In-beom, who has the balance between offense and defense," Kim said.
