Lee Eul-yong’s father and son are linked to 2003,안전사이트 2021 and 2023. His second son Lee Seung-jun (18, FC Seoul) made his long-awaited K League 1 debut through the 20th round of ‘Hana 1 Q K League 1 2023’ against Daejeon Hana Citizen held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 1st. Lee Seung-jun, who was promoted to the pro team this year from Osango, a youth team in FC Seoul, replaced Palosevich in the 39th minute of the second half and played for 13 minutes including extra time. He made his Seoul debut in an away match against Gimpo FC in the FA Cup last April, but this is the first time he has been on the K-League 1 stage. The FA Cup and K-League, away matches and home matches with 20,000 spectators have a different weight. Lee Seung-joon was born in Osan Middle School and Osan High School. As a ball boy, he grew up watching stars such as “role model” Ki Sung-yong (34, Seoul) play.
It is rare for three fathers to play in the same league all over the world, but it is very unusual to wear the same uniform and leave a mark. So it draws more attention. Lee Eul-yong (47), head coach of the Yongin City Soccer Center, who played a leading role in the semifinals of the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, made his debut in Seoul (then Anyang) on August 27, 2003 in an expedition to Pohang, and played 101 K-League games until 2008. The eldest son, Lee Tae-seok, made his Seoul professional team debut on April 7, 2021 in an expedition to Ulsan, and has been active as a left-back for the third season.
The older brother Lee Tae-seok, who watched his younger brother’s efforts from the side, looked forward to the second debut more than anyone else. In January, Lee Tae-seok said, “I’m playing, and I imagine my younger brother coming in as a substitute for his debut match. I run to the touchline and reach out to Seung-jun and give him a high-five, and a photographer will capture the moment. Then’ Park Ji-sung and Lee Young-pyo can have a picture like that,” he said with excitement. It would be great if brothers from the same family played together in the same club.” In the second half when Lee Seung-jun was put in, Seoul attacked towards the home supporters. Lee Tae-seok was able to keep the ‘high-five promise’ by approaching his younger brother without moving far.
Lee Seung-jun, who went to the Under-20 World Cup last month, seemed extremely nervous as it was his first professional match. In an interview after the game, he said, ‘I only remember getting a pass from Lee Hyung (Ki) Seong-yong’. In a short time, I also hit a ‘big accident’. He tried to attack by snatching the ball in a manner ball situation where he had to pass the ball to the opponent. After the match ended in a 0-0 draw, Lee Seung-jun apologized to Daejeon coach Lee Min-seong and the opposing team’s staff. As coach Lee accepted the apology coolly, the manner ball controversy ended in a happening. Lee Tae-seok posted a picture of him sitting side by side with Lee Seung-jun on his personal SNS and said, ‘I’m going to educate you. Please support me a lot,’ he posted.
Brothers Lee Tae-seok and Seung-jun dream of becoming the ‘K-League’s Heo Ung and Heo Hoon’ brothers. The goal is to play an active part in the national team side by side. We took the first step towards a long journey. The expression of Lee Eul-yong, the father looking at his two sons, is clear even without looking at it.
