It led to a brilliant concentration and a thrilling come-from-behind victory in a moment.

Jeonbuk Hyundai won the opening game against Gimcheon Sangmu on the 16th. The hero was Jeon Jin-woo. In the 35th minute of the second half, when the score was tied 1-1, Jeon Jin-woo neatly connected the cross from the right side with a header from Mu In-kyung to break the net. Jeonbuk, which gave Gimcheon the first goal in the 13th minute of the first half, had a hard time finding a way out after balancing it thanks to Park Jin-seop's equalizer in extra time, but succeeded in winning the opening game of the 2025 season 2-1 thanks to Jeon Jin-woo's come-from-behind goal.

Jeon Jin-woo, who wore a Jeonbuk uniform in July last year, quickly melted into the team and took the main position. In the first round of the 2024 K-League promotion playoff against Seoul E-Land, Kim Tae-hwan's cross was finished with a come-from-behind goal, contributing to Cheongeum's victory. He also roared as he scored a come-from-behind goal in this season's home opener.




After the game, Jeon Jin-woo said "Last season's results were not good. Looking back, I think it was the cause of not being able to win much at the beginning of the season. I'm happy to contribute to the team's victory through my goal." Regarding the part that actively penetrates into the box, the coach wants the wingers to penetrate into the back space of the opponent's defense. It is right to live up to that."

Jeon Jin-woo, who started as a right winger on the day, changed his position to the left after Jeon Byung-kwan was deployed in the middle of the second half. Jeon Jin-woo said "Personally, I'm comfortable with the left, but I think the coach should do what he wants. I don't think it's too inconvenient."

Jeon Jin-woo said, `I think scoring a goal in Jeonju is a moment that any K-League player wants to do. I think such a moment comes to me well. I think they play soccer to feel the joy," he smiled. As for Foyet's style, "Let the players play freely. Defensively, there are principles to be observed. He also said that if you don't keep it, you can't play."
