If it's this revival story, it will be popular even if it's made into a documentary on Netflix.

Cho Kyu-sung (27, Mit Willan) played full time for the first time after recovering from a knee injury. It's not just that. He scored his fourth goal. It's the perfect return drama.

Cho Kyu-sung started as a right-sided striker in an away game against Frederišya in the 13th round of the Super League in the 2025-2026 season at Monyasa Park in Frederišya, Denmark, and scored a decisive goal with a picturesque right-footed volley in the 34th minute of the first half when his team led 1-0.




Cho Kyu-sung scored his fourth goal since returning from a knee injury. He scored three goals in the league and one in the cup. In particular, Cho Kyu-sung played full-time throughout the game, saying he was excellent non-stop. It is the first time that Cho Kyu-sung has played full time since returning from injury in September.

Cho Kyu-sung suffered a knee injury that sent him through the last season. The long-term gap has raised concerns about a crisis in his career. However, after silently working on rehabilitation, Cho Kyu-sung overcame a long period of pain and succeeded in rehabilitation. Since returning last September, he has been consistently showing good performance.

Cho Kyu-sung reported his first goal after returning to the Cup on September 17. He then scored another goal in a league game against Vivog on 20 September, scoring in two consecutive games. The third goal came on Sept. 29 against Landers. About a month after his third goal, he scored his fourth goal and played full-time at the same time, signaling that he has regained his former form and physical strength.




The process of making a goal was also dramatic. Cho Kyu-sung's team, Mitwillan, continued the offensive with strong pressure from the beginning of the game. In the 29th minute of the first half, the first goal was touched to lead 1-0. Franculino Diou finished off Denil Castillo's cross with a non-stop shot.

Cho Kyu-sung scored a net five minutes later. Castillo's cross from afar led to Cho Kyu-sung on the left side of the box. Cho Kyu-sung beat the defender and hit the ball in the air with a right foot volley. The net shook. He made his first shot into the net.

Since then, Cho Kyu-sung has not added an offensive point, but he has made active movements. Soccer statistics company SofaScore gave Cho Kyu-sung's performance 7.4 points, the third highest in the team.




Meanwhile, center back Lee Han-beom also started with Cho Kyu-sung and played full time to support the clean sheet victory. Lee Han-beom received a good rating of 7.4 points, the same as Cho Kyu-sung, with a 93% pass success rate, one tackle, one interception, three clearances, two successful ground competitions (three attempts), and two successful aerial ball competitions (three attempts).

Cho Kyu-sung scored his fourth goal of the season in a month and even played full-time, raising expectations for Hong Myung-bo's joining in the future. If Cho Kyu-sung recovers his prime ability, it is likely to be of great help to the Korean national team's offense at the 2026 World Cup in North Korea and the U.S. It is a good thing for the national team in many ways. It is expected to join the A-match list in November.
