Han Hyun-seo, who is growing into the future of Pohang Steelers, is growing this season.

Han Hyun-seo is the main character of a huge twist this season. Han Hyun-seo, who made his professional debut by wearing a Pohang uniform ahead of the 2025 season, received great attention due to his calm performance and stable defense even though he was a rookie. Pohang coach Park Tae-ha actively used Han Hyun-seo at a time when a large number of defenders left due to injuries. Han Hyun also played outstandingly, living up to his faith. He even had the pleasure of being selected as a player of the team K League 'Couple Young People'. In the Asian Champions League (ACL) 2 Pathum match on the 18th, he played as a starter and succeeded in making his ACL debut.

Han Hyun-seo, who met ahead of the match against Jeju Island on the 21st, first expressed his feelings about experiencing his first Asian Champions League stage this season. "There were a lot of young players going out in a situation that had to be played in parallel with the league," he said. I think I'm really lucky that I got a good opportunity thanks to the league and had a good experience. "




Then "It was so different from soccer in Korea." If South Korea values speed and build-up, Pathum's soccer is a strategy to take pictures with physicality at the forefront. I'm proud that the young players seemed to have endured well without experience so that they wouldn't fall behind him. I also tried to be aggressive, but I think it came out well, so I'm personally happy with it."

Recently, he also joined the U-23 (under 23) national team led by head coach Lee Min-sung and played the U-23 Asian Cup qualifying match. The U-23 national team can even head to next year's Aichi Nagoya Asian Games, so its performance is inevitably more important. "I played briefly, but I tried to learn a lot because I represented Korea. When I get a chance next time, I want to show my fans better skills. I paid a lot of attention. I also want to go because I have an important goal (for Asian games), so I want to see a good performance and go there." Han Hyun-seo said, `I can stand in various positions, I have left foot grip, and I hope you can take a good look at that because there are strengths in the build-up that coach Lee Min-sung considers important", and he did not miss out on appealing his strengths.

Han Hyun-seo also picked Yosuko Gvardiol (Man City) as his role model when selecting the K-League last team. However, due to his dynamic defense, the nickname 'Handerpen' named after Mickey Panderpen was also created. Han Hyun-seo, who enjoys playing soccer overseas, said "I still watch it these daysThe fans gave me the good nickname of "Handerpen," so I'm watching a lot of Panderpen games. I heard that it is not easy to get a nickname in the first year. He gave me a good nickname, so I want to take it with me for the rest of my life." Only "So far, I think that the cardiol seems to be closer to my style" also added an explanation.

Coach Park Tae-ha has also identified Han Hyun-seo's style early on and has shown various uses, such as leaving not only the center back but also the left side of the fullback and three-back this season. Han Hyun-seo said, `The coach also told me that he has strengths in the offensive part rather than the defensive part, so I think it's a great strength to be able to stand while experiencing various formation. Thank you to the director."

Han Hyun-seo, who had a chance as a starter early this season, but with the return of seniors from the middle of the season, more and more people are looking at opportunities on the bench instead of starting. However, even in this situation, Han Hyun-seo was silently making efforts to seize the opportunity.

He said "There have been a lot of injuries these days, and it's true that I've been out of shape. Accepting this and preparing for it, the coach said he would give me a good opportunity, so I think I can train hard while aiming for the opportunity. The director knows my strengths well. I will make up for the shortcomings and become a player that the coach has no choice but to use. I'm trying to do this." He didn't hide his determination.
