A Chinese media outlet recommended that national striker Joo Min-kyu (35, Daejeon), who is active in the East Asian Cup, advance to the Chinese Super League.
On the 9th (Korea time), the Chinese portal 'SinaCom' recently lost 0-3 due to unsatisfactory performance against South Korea in the first match of the 2025 EAFF E-1 Championship. South Korea's 35-year-old forward Joo Min-kyu performed brilliantly on the day and scored a great header. It was a score from a typical cross, and Joo Min-kyu easily scored while Chinese defender Zhu Chenjie was unable to defend in time. Even at the age of 35, Joo Min-gyu still maintains competitiveness, and this is not easy,' he said from Joo Min-gyu's performance.
Joo Min-kyu started as a front-line striker at the Korea-China match at Mir Stadium in Yongin on the 7th, and Lee Tae-seok (Pohang)'s cross was put on his forehead in the 21st minute of the first half with Lee Dong-kyung (Kim Chun)'s first goal in the 8th minute. With his third A-match goal (10 games) at the age of 35 years and 85 days, he jumped to fifth place in the Korean national team's oldest A-match scoring record. He trailed fourth-ranked Lee Dong-gook (35 years, 168 days). In the 12th minute of the second half, South Korea scored an additional goal by Kim Joo-sung (Seoul) to win the game 3-0. He showed such an overwhelming performance that he did not give up a single shot to China.

This media outlet recommended that Joo Min-gyu go to China. `If the Chinese Super League and the Chinese Class League (second division) teams try to strengthen their center forward positions, Joo Min-gyu will be an efficient choice,' he said. 'First, the salary of Joo Min-gyu, who is 35 years old, is relatively low. Second, given his outstanding performance at the East Asian Cup, he said, "I can perfectly adapt to the flow of the Chinese Super League." 'Sina Dotcom' predicted that if Changchun Yatai, who is at the bottom of the first division and Chongqing Tung Lianglong, who is seeking promotion to second place in the second division, recruits Joo Min-kyu, Felipe (Chengdu Rongcheng) and Gustavo (Sanghai River), who have made a big hit in China through the K-League, they can expect to recruit the effect. At the same time, he also introduced a case in which Kim Shin-wook joined Shanghai Shenhua in the past and performed 'magic'.
Changchun should consider recruiting resident regulation instead of recruiting European strikers who have a high name value but actually perform mediocre. Chongqing also desperately needs an experienced center forward like Joo Min-gyu. Joo Min-gyu can complement the existing player, Xiang Yu-wang. In order to achieve the goal of promotion to the Super League with good performance in the second half of the season, the recruitment of Joo Min-kyu should be considered. Joo Min-kyu said he will not disappoint his fans. Joo Min-gyu played only on the domestic stage throughout his career as a member of E-Land, Jeju, Ulsan, and Daejeon.
Joo Min-kyu aims to score his fourth A-match goal in the second E-1 Championship match against Hong Kong in Yongin on the 11th. However, in preparation for the much-awaited Korea-Japan match on the 15th, there is a possibility that the starting player against China will rest or play as a substitute.
