FC Seoul has decided to pause its relationship with captain Ki Sung-yueng, a franchise star representing the club.
Ki Sung-yueng, who confirmed that there was no opportunity to operate the FC Seoul squad this season, has requested to go to a team that can play more for a meaningful finish in the rest of his players' lives, and the club accepted it.
Both FC Seoul and Ki Sung-yueng are difficult decisions made after a long period of consideration.
Seoul considers Ki Sung-yueng's team his hometown and pride, and he knows how much he loved it more than anyone else, so it was a difficult decision, but he accepted the request with respect for the player. However, it was also a decision that was possible because each other confirmed that a brief breakup could promise a longer companion.
Seoul has agreed with the player to hold a retirement ceremony as a club legend when Ki Sung-yueng plays and puts it down without regret as a player. In addition, the club made a promise that the club would do its best to help each other in challenging their second soccer life as a leader. Seoul plans to do all the honorable treatment to Ki Sung-yueng as an eternal 'legend' and join him so that he can be respected by many as a soccer player representing Seoul.
Above all, Seoul felt a deep sense of responsibility for the fans who were deeply hurt by this incident and expressed its willingness to ensure that the promises of the club and the players could be faithfully kept.
