An official from the transfer market said on the 14th "Kangwon fully recruited Mo Jae-hyun from Gyeongnam." As of the 13th, the transfer process, including agreements between clubs and personal agreements, has been completed, and only medical tests are left."
Mo Jae-hyun, who has made strides at Gimcheon Sangmu the past two seasons, was one of the hot potatoes in the transfer market this summer. In addition to Gangwon, multiple clubs in K League 1 and K League 2 have entered the recruitment race for Mo Jae-hyun. Quick wingers are always popular in the market.
The most active team among them was Gangwon. Gangwon, which took the helm of head coach Chung Kyung-ho this year, suffered from side attacks due to the departure of Yang Min-hyuk (Tottenham), the key player of last season's sensation, the injury of Kim Min-joon, who drew high expectations, and poor performance of foreign strikers. As of the 14th, he is ranking ninth with 14 goals and the lowest score in 18 games. Jeong Kyung-ho, who lost three consecutive games between March and April, recently allowed Anyang (1-3 loss), Pohang (1-2 loss), and Jeonbuk (0-3 loss) to win three consecutive games again.
Summer power reinforcement was a necessity, not an option. Gangwon reportedly focused on recruiting 'immediate power' verified on the domestic stage in order not to repeat the mistakes of the failure to recruit Homariu. Since the beginning of the season, coach Chung has been hoping to recruit an additional 'crack-type winger', adding a clear option to shake the side, allowing him to deploy various offensive tactics.

Mo Jae-hyun made his professional debut at Suwon FC in 2017 and played in the K League 2 stage for Suwon FC, Anyang, and Gyeongnam for six years until 2023. He is one of Suwon FC's first division promotion members in the 2020 season. He moved to Gyeongnam in 2022 and showed rapid growth, including five goals and five assists, and six goals and six assists the following year to create double-digit offensive points for two consecutive seasons.
After joining Gimcheon Sangmu in 2024, Mo Jae-hyun personally proved that it works in K League 1. With the full trust of Gimcheon coach Chung Jung-yong, he emerged as the main wing and scored four goals and three assists in 25 games in the 2024 season. He scored one goal in 13 games this season. In particular, Mo Jae-hyun led the team to a 3-2 come-from-behind victory by scoring one goal and one assist in a series of away games in Gangwon Province on June 22 last year. It is the only day that Mo Jae-hyun scored goals and assists in a single game while wearing a Gimcheon uniform. Mo Jae-hyun also scored his team's second goal in an away game in Gangwon Province on May 11 to lead the team to a 4-0 victory. He has scored two goals and one assist in the last three away games in Gangwon Province, showing a strong performance in away games in Gangwon Province (Gangneung, Chuncheon).
Mo Jae-hyun, who returned to Gyeongnam after being discharged from the military on the 3rd, made this summer the right time for a new challenge, just like Kim Bong-soo (transfer from Jeju to Daejeon). Gyeongnam coach Lee Eul-yong, who is currently ranked 9th in the K League, looked forward to Mo Jae-hyun's joining, but decided to support his student's challenge to play on a bigger stage as a senior soccer player. Mo Jae-hyun is expected to join Gangwon in the near future. Gangwon, which was completely defeated by Jeonbuk, will play the 19th round of the K League 1 in an away match in Seoul on the 17th. If Mo Jae-hyun makes his debut on the same day, he will have to face Park Soo-il (Seoul), a full-back who is his military colleague.
