It was enough to prove the value of existence with 37 minutes of performance.
Jeonbuk Hyundai became the sole leader with a 3-1 complete victory over Ulsan HD. Lee Seung-woo (27)'s performance was definitely outstanding. Not only did it serve as the starting point for Park Jin-seop (30)'s come-from-behind winning goal, but it also helped Thiago (32) to score his first offensive point of the season, shaking Jeon Ju-seong (a nickname for Jeonju World Cup Stadium), who recorded 31,830 spectators.
The scissors kick shot in the 41st minute of the second half when the two teams were 1-1 was the best. Kim Young-bin (34) jumped on the ball that he pushed into the door with a header and put his right foot on it. Ulsan goalkeeper Cho Hyun-woo (34) blocked the unexpected powerful shot by hand, but it was too much to catch. As Park Jin-seop pushed the ball out, a 'unrecorded help scene' was made to score. In a mixed situation at the gate, not only momentary judgment but also his personal skills that he accurately connected with shots shone.
The scene of the help was also impressive. In the second half of extra time, a one-on-one situation was created with Cho Hyun-woo by catching a long pass from the center circle. It was enough to aim for a goal, but Lee Seung-woo quickly connected the pass to Thiago, who was rushing from the other side, and eventually helped to score a net goal. He wrote his first offensive point of the season with a perfect team play, which is different from what has been pointed out as a lack of altruistic movements. Jeonbuk coach Gus Foye said, `I want to praise all the players who have been replaced. He prepared well enough and showed his presence," he praised Lee Seung-woo's performance on the day.

Lee Seung-woo is currently a bench member. He was used as a starter along with Lee Young-jae at the beginning of the season, but disappeared after the match against Gangwon FC on March 9. He reappeared for the first time in more than a month against SK in Jeju on April 13, but has been playing as a substitute, not a starter since then. Coach Foyet changed the midfield from the combination of Lee Seung-woo and Lee Young-jae (31) to the combination of Kim Jin-gyu (28) and Kang Sang-yoon (21). Since then, as Jeonbuk has been undefeated, Lee Seung-woo's playing time has naturally decreased. On Lee Seung-woo's role change, Foye said, `It's not a matter of skill. It can be associated with position, system selection"I don't prefer the way I touch the team when it's on a good flow. There are times when this kind of moment comes during the season." At the same time, it has also been revealed that it will continue to find appropriate ways to use it. Lee Seung-woo, who experienced the European stage at an early age and joined the national team and received the best treatment in the K-League, has been considered a resource that Jeonbuk should use in any way. These needs were met to some extent in the match against Ulsan.

It was during the A-match break in March that Lee Seung-woo's position changed. At that time, Jeonbuk was inevitable to change amid a winless slump in six consecutive games, including the K League 1 and the Asian Champions League 2. After the match against Ulsan, Jeonbuk entered a two-week A-match break in June. Another turning point. It is unclear whether Lee Seung-woo's position will change once again. Jeonbuk is still undefeated, and the power of side attacks consisting of Song Min-gyu (26) and Jeon Jin-woo (26) continues. With a stronger team chemistry than in March, it is unclear whether Lee Seung-woo will be able to squeeze it and take the main position again. However, it is true that coach Foye has provided an opportunity to think again about his value and utilization plan, which proved his talent through the match against Ulsan.
