Park Jin-seop (Korean: 박진섭; born 23 October 1995) is a South Korean professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder or a centre-back for K League 1 club Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors and the South Korea national team.[1]

Club career

[edit]

Park played as a footballer at all of his elementary, middle and high schools in Jeonju, but had difficulty in entering university.[2] After enrolling at the football club of Digital Seoul Culture Arts University narrowly, he became known as one of regional top goalscorers at the U-League in 2014 and 2016.[3] He prepared to join K League 2 club Daejeon Citizen by attracting club's manager Choi Moon-sik before the 2017 season, but the plan was cancelled due to Choi's dismissal.[4] Instead, he moved to semi-professional club Daejeon Korail, playing at the Korea National League for a year.[4]

Park joined another K League 2 club Ansan Greeners in 2018, becoming a professional player. He was the second top goalscorer at the 2017 Korea National League, but changed his role to a defensive midfielder at Ansan.[4] His performance at midfield for two years received attention from Daejeon Citizen (reorganised as Daejeon Hana Citizen in 2020), and it gave him an offer.[4] He had had an ill feeling toward Daejeon due to the cancellation of his former agreement with it, but decided to trust it.[4] He captained the club in his first season, and was named in the K League 2 Best XI the next year.[4] Afterwards, he could go to Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors, his dream club located in his hometown Jeonju.[4]

Park joined Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors before the start of the 2022 season, challenging himself at the K League 1. When playing for Jeonbuk, he once again changed his role to a centre-back. His versatile talents led him to adapt quickly in the rearmost position.[2] In his first season at Jeonbuk, he was selected for the K League 1 Best XI, and won the Korean FA Cup.[2]

International career

[edit]

Park played as an overage player for the South Korea under-23 team at the 2022 Asian Games, winning a gold medal.

Park played as a substitute for the national team in four matches of the 2023 AFC Asian Cup.[5]

On 26 March 2024, Park scored his first international goal in a World Cup qualifier against Thailand.
