'Flower Handsome Striker' Cho Kyu-sung (Mit Willan) finally started his return after a one-year hiatus.

Cho Kyu-sung participated in Meat Willan's preseason training on the 18th (local time). The hair was cut neatly. Danish media outlet `Tiffbladet' reported that Mitwillan's players gathered for their first training session at a training facility named '99 Dream. There was also a positive surprise. Cho Kyu-sung, who has not played since May 2024, appeared at the training site. It was a personal training with a physical trainer, but it was a positive step forward for the club and the Korean striker. Cho focused on rehabilitation at the Mitwillan training facility for a year.

Cho Kyu-sung, wearing a tight hat, said on the club's official SNS on his way to work that he spent his vacation in Barcelona, Spain, during the break.




'Tiffbladet' followed by 'Mitwillan's long-term absence last fall due to complications related to a mild knee surgery that Kyu-Sung Cho underwent in June. So it was more pleasing to watch Cho Kyu-sung back at the training ground.

In an interview with `Tiffbladet,' new general manager Jakob Larsen Mitwillan said "Cho had a long and difficult time. I'm so glad to see him. He is the most amazing man in the world." Asked if Cho Kyu-sung could return next season, "I can't answer it. Ask the director Thomas Thomasberg..."

Thomasberg also declined to comment in detail. Only "How about time will tell you. What I'm happy about is that we're making some progress. It's really nice to see. Of course, it was slow (to return) compared to what we and Jo wanted."




Cho Kyu-sung moved to Mitwillan in the summer of 2023 with 22 million kroner (current exchange rate of about 3.028 billion won) left for Jeonbuk. In the first season of 2023-2024, Denmark's Super Liga, he scored 12 goals in 30 games and hit a 'jackpot'. The team also led the league to a championship.

However, having surgery after the season to overcome chronic knee injuries became a cause of concern. It was known as a simple surgery, but it showed symptoms of blood infection and blew the entire 2024-2025 season. The team missed the league by a hair's breadth.

Coach Thomasberg flatly said that while the timing of Cho Kyu-sung's return is still unclear, he has no plans to recruit a new striker right away.




If Cho Kyu-sung plays the 2025-2026 season normally, it is a good thing for the South Korean national soccer team, which entered the finals mode of the 2026 North Korea-China World Cup. Currently, Joo Min-kyu (Daejeon), Oh Se-hoon (Machida Zelvia) and Oh Hyun-kyu (Hent) are alternately playing as front-line strikers in Hong Myung-bo, but no player has firmly established himself as the main player yet.

Cho Kyu-sung made his A-team debut in September 2021 and has scored nine goals in 39 A matches so far. He quickly became a soccer star with multiple goals against Ghana in the 2022 Qatar World Cup group stage.

Denmark's Super Liga is scheduled to open in early July. Meat Willan contains Cho Kyu-sung and Lee Han-beom.
