    Looks like he signed a pro contract and FC Nantes is in L1 now so....

    That said I'm not sure how much to expect with first team given that he was not even starting all the U19 playoffs. No team news compounds this theory.

    I recall SHM was setting youth programs on fire vs this kid who's on the bench of the U19. I'm guessing he's going to be CFA fodder now.

    Apparently a player like Park Chu-young. But what would I know never watched this guy play. Lets just hope he does better than Lee Yong-jae ;)

    So it looks like he played in the U-14 side alongside Seo Myung-won at an Asian youth tournament.

    Probably couldnt play any more KNT youth sides as he went to Nantes afterwards.

    Given that he's not starting for their u19, don't get your hopes too high.

    Also it appears Nantes transfer ban was overturned.

    So not playing in either half of today's friendly so a pretty good sign we won't see him in senior side for a while (if ever)

    I thought he was too old but I may have miscounted? I was confused why he wasn't on CFA squad. Now I know!

    Wait if he wasn't starting for U-19 why did he get promoted to the senior squad? Anyway, exciting news considering we had never really heard his name before now.

    He signed a pro contract not promoted. He's still gotta work up a few levels and isn't lights out right now either.

    So I guess he scored 7 in 16 matches last season at U19. He appeared in one CFA match at least this year acc to foot-national but then again he's a nork and a midfielder plus has a completely different romanization than Nantes according to that site, all of which I believe are incorrect.
