Yoon Young-seok, a former Pohang Steelers Youth, went through Pohang U-15 (Pohang Steel High School) and Pohang U-18 (Pohang Steel High School). He won the 2022 K League U-18 Championship, which he played in his third year of high school, leading his team to the runner-up with four points in seven games.
After receiving Pohang's priority nomination, he moved to Dongmyeong University in 2024 after passing through Hannam University in 2023, and contributed to Dongmyeong University's first victory in the 60th Spring University Football Federation match in February of that year.
Yoon Young-seok, who weighs 1m73 and 70kg, is a side resource with excellent speed and box penetration capabilities, and Jeonnam expects it to be the cornerstone of next year's U-22 operation as well as immediate use. Currently, Chung Kang-min, Park Sang-joon, Ahn Jae-min and Sung Yoon-soo are active as U-22 resources in Jeollanam-do, but all three players except Chung Kang-min were born in 2003 and U-22 players will be applied until this year. Yoon Young-seok, who was born in 2004, is a resource to play as an under-22 player next year along with Jung Kang-min, Jeon Yu-sang (born 2004), Jung Tae-in (born 2005), and Son Geon-ho (born 2006).
Yoon Young-seok signed an official contract with the club after completing a medical test on the 23rd, saying, "It is an honor to join Jeonnam. As a rookie, I want to be a helpful player for the team, and if I get a chance to prove it, I want to put everything in the ground" he expressed his bold ambition.
