Jung Sung-ryong (40, Kawasaki Frontale), a former national team goalkeeper, will end his 10-year partnership with Kawasaki in the Japanese J1 League.
Kawasaki announced the departure on the 12th, saying, `We have decided not to renew our contract next season with Jung Sung-ryong, whose contract expires at the end of this year.'
Jung Sung-ryong played for the K-League Pohang Steelers, Seongnam Ilhwa (current Seongnam FC), and Suwon Samsung before moving to Japan in 2016 and playing for 10 years only in Kawasaki.
After the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Jung Sung-ryong, who was reduced to a national curse with a single SNS post, tried to make a major turnaround in his career on the Japanese stage. Numerous Korean goalkeepers have challenged the Japanese stage so far, but no Korean player has won so many trophies in a single club in as long as Jung Sung-ryong.

He wore a Kawasaki uniform and played in a total of 363 games, including 272 J1 League games, winning a myriad of trophies, including four regular league, two Japanese King's Cup, and one League Cup. Although he gave up his junior Louis Yamaguchi (27) to play only three games this season, Kawasaki fans praise Jung Sung-ryong, who led the club's peak, as the club's best legendary goalkeeper.
In 2018 and 2020, he was honored as the best goalkeeper in the J1 League.
Jung Sung-ryong will leave Kawasaki at the end of this season through the club. I sincerely thank my fans for always supporting me over the past decade, whether I'm happy or sad. My time in Kawasaki was a big turning point in my soccer life and an important time to grow further. I'll never forget," he said goodbye.

Jung Sung-ryong, who is known for his outstanding defense ability as a 1m 91st tall goalkeeper, did not disclose his future course of action. Considering his age, he is likely to take off his goalkeeper gloves, but he is also open to transfer to other teams in Japan and return to the K-League for the first time in 10 years by taking advantage of his J1 league career.
Jung Sung-ryong made his professional debut in Pohang in 2004 and played for Seongnam from 2008 to 2010 and Suwon from 2011 to 2015. He played a total of 268 games (279 goals) in the league alone. He won the K League 1 title in Pohang and the Asian Champions League in Seongnam. From 2008 to 2016, he played 67 A matches for the national team. She is a member of the 2012 London Olympics bronze medal.
