Did he find a solution.
Jeonbuk Hyundai Lee Seung-woo (27), who stepped on the ground for the first time in more than a month, performed well and raised expectations. Lee Seung-woo played 30 minutes in the eighth round of the 2025 K League 1 against Jeju SK at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the 13th by substituting Song Min-gyu in the 24th minute of the second half when his team was trailing 0-1. In the 41st minute of the second half, he contributed to his team's 1-1 draw with a sharp corner kick that led to Compagno's header equalizer. With the draw, Jeonbuk continued its unbeaten streak (2 wins and 1 draw) for the last three games.
The last time Lee Seung-woo went into action was against Gangwon FC on the 9th of last month. Even though there were no special injuries, he kept on the bench, raising questions. There was also a view that it was the cause of expressing excessive emotions to coach Gus Foyet in dissatisfaction with the replacement in the previous match against Ulsan HD. But Foye said, `Those players (Lee Seung-woo and Song Min-gyu) are aggressive players. It should be an attack control as a team. If you can't control it in an aggressive way, it's hard to save your personality"It is a matter of choice."
Jeonbuk struggled against Jeju until the middle of the second half without making a breakthrough. In the meantime, coach Foyet put in Han Kook-young instead of Kim Jin-kyu and changed Song Min-gyu and Lee Seung-woo. Han Kook-young is trying to take defensive moves in the midfield and Lee Seung-woo is trying to take more aggressive moves in the second line. Lee Seung-woo did his part by speeding up the team's overall offense with active movements after the replacement. On this day, Lee Seung-woo played 30 minutes until the extra time of the second half, recording a 100% success rate of one shot, one key pass and three crosses.

In the match against Jeju, Jeonbuk chose to change. Based on the lineup used when conducting defense-oriented operations, he put weight on aggressive attempts. Although the attack was more active than the previous game, it was difficult to say that the overall completeness was high. In defense, Nam Tae-hee's breakthrough was in confusion, and eventually he gave up the first goal. Although it was tied with an equalizer at the end of the second half, Jeonbuk was still a "unfinished team". The income of the day can be seen as the result of changing Lee Seung-woo, who has been used as a starter, to a Joker in the second half.
However, it is a waste to use Lee Seung-woo as a second-half joker. Considering that he is a decisive offensive resource with a total of 12 goals in Suwon FC and Jeonbuk last year and that he is the highest-paid player in the team, in the end, he has to come up with an optimal way to use it.
Foyet said of the work of painting his colors `It took 10 months in Brighton. In Sunderland, the desired player composition was made and it took less than that. I think it will depend on how the team (Jeonbuk) accepts it,' he said, expressing that he needs some time. In the end, Jeonbuk seems to need more time to find a clear answer to the task.
