Jeon Jin-woo (Korean: 전진우; Hanja: 全晉旴; born 9 September 1999), formerly known as Jeon Se-jin (Korean: 전세진; Hanja: 全世珍),[1] is a South Korean football forward who plays for Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors.[3]
Club career
[edit]Jeon won all three divisions of the Korean National School League, namely elementary,[4] middle and high school divisions. He was also named the top goalscorer at the middle school division,[5] and the Most Valuable Player at the high school division.[6] He tried to participate in a tryout for Eredivisie club PSV Eindhoven prior to his graduation from Maetan High School, which had a youth football club of Suwon Samsung Bluewings, but withdrew his plan after being criticised by Suwon fans.[7][8]
Jeon made his professional debut in an AFC Champions League qualifier against Thanh Hóa on 30 January 2018,[9] and scored his first professional goal in a K League 1 match against Incheon United on 22 April.[10] He helped Suwon win the 2019 Korean FA Cup before enlisting in military football club Sangju Sangmu (renamed Gimcheon Sangmu in 2021) to fulfill his military duty for one and a half years.[11] He played in only two league matches for Sangmu due to a car accident.[12] His long-term injury was followed by the stagnation of his development,[13] and Suwon was relegated to the K League 2 after the 2023 season.[14] On 9 July 2024, he transferred to Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors to mark a turning point in his career.[15]
International career
[edit]Jeon led South Korea to a second-place finish by scoring five goals in six matches at the 2018 AFC U-19 Championship. He also participated in the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup, where South Korea finished second. He performed a key role at the AFC U-19 Championship, whereas he usually played as a substitute at the U-20 World Cup.[16]
