Coupang Play's special event is 'Couple Youngple', in which 12 K League 1 clubs recommend one prospect under the age of 22 (U-22) who has performed impressively this season and select the final one through fan voting. Fan voting was held at Coupang Play for a week from the 23rd of last month, and Han Hyun-seo won 24.6% of the final votes, beating prominent candidates such as Yoon Jae-seok (Ulsan), Shin Min-ha (Gangwon), and Chae Hyun-woo (Anyang).
Han Hyun-seo is from Ulsan Youth and joined Pohang this year. He filled the injury gap of the main defender by coordinating the flow of the game based on sophisticated kicks, passing ability and wide field of view. With his consistent and stable performance, he won the K-League 'Young Player of the Month ' in May.
"I'm honored to be selected as the 'Couple Young People' by your precious votes," Han said. "As you gave us a special opportunity, we will do our best to show you a good performance in the 2025 Coupang Play Series."," he said.
Last year, Gangwon's Yang Min-hyuk (current Tottenham) was selected as a 'Couple Youngple' and faced Tottenham, and since then, he has shown rapid growth, with the selection of the national team and the possibility of advancing to the Premier League. As such, 'Couple Youngple' is establishing itself as a system that provides promising players with hands-on experiences with world-class players and lays the groundwork for growth based on communication with fans.
