England's Football League World reported on the 6th (Korea time) 'Birmingham City will let go of three players unless something special happens.'
Football League World is expected to be promoted to Birmingham, and this summer could be busy. If the contract situation does not change, we could look at the three players who are due to leave Birmingham in the summer. Lee Myung-jae is not the only defender to join the January transfer market. He suffered from a lack of fitness in Birmingham. The last few months have been frustrating, low on the priority list. Alex Cochrane is leading the position. Davis is likely to let him go after the end of the season. Returning to Korea can be a way to find confidence,' he said.

They also negotiated re-signing with Ulsan, but they chose the challenge due to disagreements under the conditions. Lee Myung-jae turned to overseas, although he was also courting in Korea. Proposals from China, the Middle East, and Japan came in, but Lee Myung-jae wanted to head to a league where he could grow further. I spent a long time waiting for my trip to Japan.
As soon as there was no attractive courtship in Japan and he was struggling to go to China, the road to Europe opened. Birmingham reached out. At that time, Birmingham needed a backup due to the injury of key fullback Lee Buchanan. Coach Chris Davis approved the recruitment, and Lee Myung-jae's transfer was made immediately.
Lee Myung-jae's advance to Europe attracted more attention because his Korean national team teammate Baek Seung-ho is an active team. There were many predictions that even if it is difficult to secure a starting position in the K-League, he will receive an opportunity through competition. Lee Myung-jae wanted to challenge himself despite his extremely small salary and contract period to advance to Europe. Therefore, attention was paid to whether the challenge could lead to opportunities and performances.

It is also regrettable that there is no room given the situation in Birmingham. Birmingham, relegated from last season's Championship (minor league), have made a firm plan for direct promotion, holding on to key players. So far, the plan is successful. With 28 wins, 8 draws and 3 losses until the 38th round, and 7 games remaining with 92 points, the gap with second-place Wrexham is 11 points. If he wins only two games in the remaining schedule, he will be able to win the championship on his own and be promoted to the championship. They are actively hiring key players to quickly confirm promotion.
However, the part to look forward to is after the promotion is confirmed. With the current momentum, Birmingham could have the option of confirming the championship in the 41st round at the earliest and giving players a break in the later schedule. Lee Myung-jae may also be looking to make his England debut in the final games.
Lee Myung-jae's challenge of going to Europe to grow as a player is gradually approaching the end. Until all the time in England has passed, the challenge is expected to continue to receive great attention.
