Jeju announced on the 9th that Lee Chang-min has returned to the team by canceling the call-up of social service personnel. Lee Chang-min fulfilled his military service obligations as a social service agent for the Geoje Citizens' Football Team in the K4 (fourth division). After the end of last year's season, he faithfully performed the remaining service at Jeju Seoho Nursing Home.
Lee Chang-min is a veteran with 30 goals and 26 assists in 259 games in the K League. He wore a Jeju uniform in 2016, and was selected as the best 11 midfielder in the K-League Classic in 2017 and helped him advance to the round of 16 in the Asian Champions League. In the same year, he joined the East Asian Football Federation (EAFF) E-1 Championship team and helped them win. In 2020, he played a leading role in Jeju's K League 2 (second division). He has the record for the most games in the team, playing 206 games in Jeju. He is considered a strong candidate to surpass Kim Ki-dong (current FC Seoul coach)'s record of most business trips (274 games) by Jeju.
With Lee Chang-min's return, Jeju's midfield operation is also expected to be breathtaking. Jeju head coach Kim Hak-beom has set up a midfield with Nam Tae-hee, Kim Gun-woong, Oh Jae-hyuk, and Kim Jung-min, including Lee Tal-ro. However, he has been slow with one draw and two losses since his 2-0 home opening win against FC Seoul. The addition of Lee Chang-min, who has skills and experience, is expected to add experience.
Lee Chang-min "Now Jeju Island is like another hometown of mine. I tried every moment because I didn't want to return to being culled"I want to successfully return and break the record for most appearances in Jeju. More than anything, I want to meet the fans that I missed"I'm determined.
