Six second successful candidates heading to managing director Gimcheon have been announced.
On the 10th, the Military Manpower Administration announced six successful applicants for the second round of men's soccer (soldiers) of the second military athletic unit in 2025. Gimcheon decided to select four defenders, one midfielder and one striker, and after Sports Chosun confirmed through each club, Kim Hyun-woo, Park Jin-sung, Lim Deok-geun, Kim In-kyun (Daejeon Hana Citizen), Kim Min-kyu (Seoul E-land), and Min Kyung-hyun (Incheon United) will join the army. They are scheduled to enter the military on June 2. For a year and a half, he will carry out the 'duty of defense' and step on the ground.
In addition, Park Tae-joon (Gwangju FC), who applied for a postponement of his enlistment in March due to his team's circumstances after passing the first round, will also join the army. The Gwangju club submitted an application for 'postponement of enlistment date' to the local Military Manpower Administration due to the inevitability of using the main players after advancing to the ACLE quarterfinals, past cases, and national prestige enhancement, and judged that the relevant agency 'postponement of enlistment' is possible.
