"If you're going to play soccer and administration, I want to play it properly."
Jeon Ga-eul (37), director of the Korea Football Association (KFA) who was appointed to the Korea Football Association's (KFA) power reinforcement committee on the 7th, expressed his determination to be 'Working Hard.'"
Jeon Ga-eul is the first director and the first former member of the 'Golden Generation Retirement' National University. The intention of Chairman Chung Mong-gyu, who pledged to revitalize women's soccer, was reflected. He is also closely communicating with legendary national universities such as Hyun Young-min, former chairman of the committee, Lee Young-pyo, and Kim Young-kwang, who are close to the entertainment program. He is taking care of not only national team seniors and juniors but also future national universities such as Han Kook-hee. It is evaluated that he is the right person to play the role of linking KFA, Women's Football Federation, men's and women's soccer, hobbyists, elites, and seniors and juniors.

Born in 1988, Jeon Ga-eul is a "Golden Generation" striker and challenge icon. It was a game changer equipped with a flexible technique and a sharp free kick, and was loved by fans with the nickname 'SuperSonic'Jeon Beckham'. He joined the Suwon Facility Management Corporation (currently Suwon FC) in the WK League in 2008, won the MVP of the championship game with his first WK League victory in 2010, and lifted the WK League trophy three times (2013, 2014, and 2015) at Incheon Hyundai Steel. He also wrote the history of the 'first'. He became the first Korean female soccer player to join Western New York Flash in the U.S. League in 2016, and played for Melbourne Victory in Australia in 2017 and Bristol City and Reading in England in 2020. He is the only player who has experienced all three leagues. He has scored 38 goals in 101 games over 12 years for the national team. It is the best moment to win the 2009 Belgrade Universiade with the top scorer for the first time and to lead the team to the round of 16 at the 2015 Women's World Cup in Canada against Costa Rica (2-2 draws). She was there at every moment when Korean women's soccer shone.

Jeon Ga-eul, who retired from Sejong Sports Toto after the 2023 season, opened the 'Hotple' Design Football' soccer center in Seongsu-dong and has been with promising soccer players and hobbyists. He is also the coach of the Seongdong-gu Amateur Women's Football Club (Pearl FC). He was called by KFA while he was busy playing soccer as a commentator for the Australian and New Zealand Women's World Cups and a YouTube influencer.
After completing a master's degree and a B-level leadership course in Myeongji during his career, Jeon Ga-eul nailed that `I will never move to a director who only puts his name on it.' Immediately after the appointment of the director, he rushed to the scene of the women's soccer Spring Federation match held in Hwacheon last month. He communicated with Yang Myung-seok, president of the Women's Football Federation, and watched the finals of elementary, middle, high, and high schools. He celebrated by hugging Jung Jae-hee, who scored six goals alone as a presenter. "You did better than I did in elementary school. The trajectory and intensity of the free kick were the same as mine. It was time to see the future and hope of women's soccer."

There was not much time until the 2027 Women's World Cup in Brazil, and there was a lot of work to do. The previous fall made it clear that he would work properly. "I have to make this road as I did the whole time I played soccer." She shed tears at the opening ceremony of the 2015 Women's World Cup in Canada due to the overlap of gratitude and sadness, and she aspired that the soccer world where her juniors would live would be different from her. "It is not a short time to talk about expanding the bottom and establishing an unemployment team. It can't even make unilateral demands on companies. Basically, I want to start by promoting what we have. It is important to promote the WK League more, let the audience come and keep the stars coming. Increasing the value of the league and its players should precede women's soccer players to become role models," he said emphatically.

"If you stay still, nothing will happen. When he was a player, his motto was 'If you're going to do it, let's do it properly' I want to do it properly for my seniors and juniors in women's soccer." It is also a meaningful change to speak out with Moon Kyung-moo, head coach, Lee Mi-yeon, on the battlefield, which was almost exclusive to men's soccer players. "We will make a great use of this opportunity for the development of women's soccer. He also spoke at the KFA executive workshop. 'There are a lot of great people, but I'm an expert in women's soccer. He asked me to give him a job because he wouldn't stay in his seat and keep moving. Please pass. I'll score a goal," he said with a smile.
The former director's eyes glistened to convey the atmosphere of the first workshop. Under the title of 'Wannabe KFA, Happy Football KFA', he expressed his intention to make a KFA that is someone's dream, someone's hope, and anyone wants to come. I also talked a lot with Chairman Chung Mong-gyu and confirmed my interest in women's soccer," he said, expressing anticipation. "It's just the beginning. I will continue to try while running on my feet and continue to challenge myself, which will help change women's soccer. If you move with all your heart, change will follow."
