“It was nice to get the wrong thing right.”
Seoul E-Land midfielder Seo Jae-min (21) received the K-League 2 Young Player Award at the “Hana Bank K-League 2024 Awards” held at the Grand Hotel in Switzerland on Sunday. The K-League 2 Young Player Award was the most competitive category at the award ceremony.
Seo received four votes from coaches, three captains, and 37 media votes, receiving a total score of 34.43 points. He was only 0.49 points shorter than second-ranked Yoon Jae-seok (33.94 points, Jeonnam Dragons). He was also close to third-ranked Chae Hyun-woo (31.63, FC Anyang).
Seo Jae-min had his ups and downs until he won the award. Seo Jae-min was not included in the K League 2 Young Player Award candidate announced by the Professional Football Federation on the 21st. Kim Jung-hyun (Chungbuk Cheongju FC) was originally listed, but this was misrepresented by the Professional Football Federation. In addition, Kim Jung-hyun did not meet the conditions of the Young Player Award, which required him to play more than 50% of the game in that season, as he played only 17 games this season. Eventually, Seo Jae-min was listed as a candidate instead of Kim Jung-hyun.
Seo Jae-min said, “I honestly thought I would be included, but I thought acceptance and team performance are more important than disappointment because I was not included. I think it was good to correct the wrong thing by being included later.” 카지노사이트
Seo Jae-min will play against Jeonbuk Hyundai in the K League 1 on Nov. 1 and 8. “I’m happy to receive an award that allows me to ride once. Rather than doing well, I think I was able to win the award because the coach gave me a chance and the team reached out to me. We prepared deeper for the promotion playoff than the award ceremony. I think our team is well prepared to face off against Jeonbuk Hyundai. I think the promotion PO will be an interesting game. Personally, I’m really looking forward to it,” Seo said.
