"I think K League 1 is rather more comfortable." Chae Hyun-woo (21, Anyang), who is growing as a core of FC Anyang, is growing by fully adapting to the league with his team. Anyang drew 1-1 in the 12th round of the "Hana Bank K League 1 2025" match against FC Seoul at Anyang Stadium on the 6th. He scored the first goal in the 6th minute of the second half, but allowed a run in the 36th minute of the second half, marking his first draw of the season in the "Yeongoji Derby," which he desperately wanted to win. Chae Hyun-woo, who started against Seoul and stayed on the field until the 22nd minute of the second half, also did not hide his regret about winning. "Many fans came, but it's a shame that it wasn't the result he wanted," he said.

As he has been the mainstay of Anyang this season, he has been reborn as the core of his team, unlike when he was given time to play as a U-22 player (under 22) resource last season. Having played for 1,138 minutes in 26 league matches last season, he already has more opportunities with 13 matches and 751 minutes, with the number of games exceeded this season's one-robin (11 matches per team). He is a decent starting player, ranking ninth in his team's time to play. Coach Yoo Byung-hoon has also made no secret of his expectations for Chae even before the opening of the season. He did not hesitate to pick Chae Hyun-woo as a player who is expected to improve the most or who will show great performance. Chae said, "I didn't have much time to play until the fifth round, so I tried to increase it. As much as the coach trusts and uses me, I don't think I've met him yet. We need to improve more in terms of attack points and performance. We need to grow more."

He is also versatile. As a left-footed midfielder, he can play in all areas including left and right sides and attacking midfielder, and said, "When the coach asked me where I was comfortable with being a midfielder in the 3-5-2 formation, I told him that I was comfortable with being a midfielder, but I have no room to choose from." He also clearly showed his strength. He expressed his thirst for scoring goals with his right foot. He scored all of the two goals he has recorded this season with his left foot. "I think I am good with my right foot. There are days when it takes one game to play. I feel regretful about the shooting process, and I think there will be a day when I can show off my strengths with my right foot," he said with a smile.

Chae Hyun-woo, who made his professional debut in K League 2 last year, is one of the first players to take the K League 1 stage with Anyang this season. Although it was a place where outstanding seniors were active and experienced for the first time, Chae was rather confident. "I think K League 1 is more comfortable," he said. "If I go back to K League 2 now, I don't think I can do better. K League 1's players are more technical and capable. I think there are players who fit K League 2 and K League 1. I think K League 1 is more convenient for me." 먹튀검증

In the course of his growth, he also set his sights set this season. Although he shed tears at the game, which he ended unfortunately after being dismissed last year, he is taking advantage of his growth potential. "After that experience, I have grown and gained a foothold," Chae said. "I also told the coach even before the start of this season. My biggest goals are 10 attack points. I don't think the Young Player Award is in the early stages of the season yet," he said.
