Seol Young-woo (Korean: 설영우; born 5 December 1998) is a South Korean professional footballer who plays as a full-back for Serbian SuperLiga club Red Star Belgrade and the South Korea national team.[2]
Club career
[edit]Ulsan HD
[edit]Born in Ulsan, Seol played as a youth player for hometown team Ulsan Hyundai (renamed Ulsan HD in 2024) since childhood. After attending university for a while, he played for the senior team of Ulsan Hyundai since 2020. He contributed to Ulsan's two K League 1 titles in 2022 and 2023. On 1 October 2024, he was nominated for the AFC Player of the Year for 2023 by helping his club and national team reach the semi-finals of the 2023–24 AFC Champions League and the 2023 AFC Asian Cup, respectively, in addition to the league title.[3]
Red Star Belgrade
[edit]On 29 June 2024, Seol moved to Serbian SuperLiga club Red Star Belgrade for an undisclosed fee on a three-year contract with an option for a one-year extension.[4][5]
International career
[edit]Seol was called up for the South Korea national team for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup. He underachieved in the group stage, and conceded a penalty against Malaysia.[6] He provided an accurate cross, assisting Cho Gue-sung's equalising header in second-half stoppage time of the round of 16 match against Saudi Arabia. He showed tremendous workrate by moving 15.54 km in the quarter-final match against Australia and was selected for the team of the matchday after the match,[7] although he took a rest for only two days after the round of 16.[8] South Korea was eliminated in the semi-finals by Jordan, but found solace in a new talented full-back.[9]
Style of play
[edit]Seol had played as a winger until his university days, but changed his role to a full-back at the start of his professional career.[10] He is a right-footed full-back, but could be deployed on both left and right flank.[11]
