'Shin Seong born in 2007'Park Seung-soo (Newcastle) has opened a new record for Korean soccer. First of all, he was the first Korean teenage player to be listed in the opening entry of the English Premier League (EPL).
Newcastle, led by head coach Eddie Howe, will play the opening game of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2025-2026 season against Aston Villa at Villa Park in Birmingham, England on the 16th (Korea time).
Newcastle, who are set to face a showdown, have released their opening list. Park Seung-soo, 18, starts the game on the bench. This is the first time that a Korean teenage player has been named in the EPL opener. If Park Seung-soo plays the game, he will break the record of being the youngest Korean EPL debut. The current record is Kim Ji-soo (Brentford, on loan to Kaiserslautern). Kim Ji-soo was substituted in the 33rd minute of the second half in the 18th round of the EPL against Brighton in December 2024. He entered the EPL stage at the age of 20 years and four days. Kim Ji-soo was the 15th and youngest Korean player to play an EPL game.
Park Seung-soo left Suwon Samsung (second division) for Newcastle through the summer transfer market. At the age of 18 he became a "European". Initially, Park was expected to start the season with the U-21 team. However, he made a surprise appearance on Newcastle's off-season tour of Korea. He was replaced in the match against 'Team K League' on the 30th of last month and the match against Tottenham (England) on the 3rd, showing flashes of dribbling and breaking through. After returning to England, he started a friendly match against Spain on the 9th and was tested again in the first team. He even heard the entry for the opening game of the EPL.
