Chun Seong-hoon said, “The winter training period is long. The longer it is, the stronger the team seems to be. Coach Cho Seong-hwan has a scary force, so I was worried. “Thank you for approaching me first even though it’s a situation. The medical trainers were very attentive. There are older brothers who are the same age as me, so they make me feel comfortable. It’s like a family atmosphere. We talked a lot about the future.”

I grew as a soccer player, but I learned a lot as a person in a short period of time. Seoul) The hyungs told me that they had a hard time. Wooyoung and I communicate a lot. He said, ‘I wish I could fly far (in Incheon)’. All that remains is to adapt well to the K-League. It’s up to me.” said. Cheon Seong-hoon ate together with Koo Ja-cheol and Ji Dong-won in Augsburg.

He said, “What the coach orders is to fight a lot in the front line. He gives advice to win the ball and act as a link. Gerso and Mpoku are very talented players. Although they come from different nationalities, they all have similar thoughts. When the team does well, the players shine,” he said.
He continued, “I started playing as a youth in Incheon. In middle and high school, I was a ball boy and a stretcher. When I was in the supporters’ seats, I could hear the cheering song loudly. I have really strong memories of my childhood. It seems that the fans are expecting a lot. So honestly, I told myself It’s a burden, but it’s a stadium I’ve dreamed of since I was young. I don’t know when the opportunity will come. But if I get a chance, I want to do well what the team needs. I think it would be nice to even score goals. As much as the fans expected, ‘You’ve come back well’ I want to become a player who does it. Now I’m back home,” he laughed.
