Suwon announced the recruitment of Hwang Seok-ho on its official channel on the 5th. According to a transfer market official, he moved to Suwon after completing his contract with his former team Ulsan.
Suwon succeeded in strengthening its defense by recruiting Hwang Seok-ho during the season. Existing veteran Kwon Wan-kyu, rookie Ko Jong-hyun, and foreign Leo Hwang Seok-ho added a lot of weight. Hwang Seok-ho has a strong personal mark and defense leading ability from aerial ball control. Kwon Wan-gyu and Hwang Seok-ho's veteran combination, Hwang Seok-ho's new-gu combination, and Hwang Seok-ho and Ko Jong-hyun's right-footed and left-footed combination can be operated. Hwang Seok-ho can even play fullback, increasing defensive options that Suwon coach Byun Sung-hwan can utilize.
Hwang Seok-ho is expected to be a great help to Suwon, which is trying to win promotion for the first time in two years after being demoted from the point that it is a 'born winner'. Hwang Seok-ho is a graduate of Daegu University and made his professional debut in Sanfrecce Hiroshima, Japan in 2012 and has been on the Japanese stage for a long time. He contributed to winning the J-League in 2012 and 2013. He wore the Kashima Antlers uniform from 2015 to 2017, winning the J-League and the Japanese King's Cup in 2016 and the J-League Cup in 2015. In 2012, he joined Hong Myung-bo and contributed to the bronze medal myth at the London Olympics. After passing through Tenjin Teda, Shimizu S-Pulse and Sagan Tosu, he reunited with current national team coach Hong Myung-bo in Ulsan in 2024, helping his team win its third consecutive K League 1 title last year.

He is determined. Hwang Seok-ho said, `I will do my best to promote Suwon" he said. Midfielder Lee Kyu-sung, who worked with Ulsan last year, will join forces for promotion from Big Bird.
Suwon, which has been unbeaten (7 wins and 4 draws) in the last 11 consecutive games by tying a 4-1 victory in the 14th round of the K League 2 against Bucheon on the 1st, is in second place with 28 points. He is pressing the lead Incheon (35 points) by 7 points. Hwang Seok-ho is likely to make his debut through the 15th round against Seongnam, which will be held at Tancheon Stadium on the 6th at the earliest. On the 15th, he is scheduled to face Incheon at home.
