"Captain" Lee Chang-min, who is active in Jeju SK this season, vowed to open the door to the paddy field.

Lee Chang-min returned to Jeju Island last year after completing his social service at Geoje Citizens' Soccer Team in the K4 League (division 4) last year, and is spending the 2025 season. It is the first orange uniform he will wear in two years since 2023, but he is not awkward as a nine-year veteran in Jeju alone.

This season, as if it were originally from Jeju, it naturally melts into the team. In particular, the recent momentum is good, and he assisted Yuri Jonathan's header goal against Ulsan HD in the 13th round, and in the 15th round match against Jeonbuk Hyundai, he was also selected for Man of the Match thanks to his performance in the midfield, including a mid-range shot that hit the net.

And in the most recent match against Suwon FC, he gave an assist to Italy's header-winning goal with a cross, displaying robust kick ability. With 12 matches and two assists, he is regaining the level of his statistics that he recorded between five and 10 offensive points every season.

As Lee Chang-min survived, his team Jeju Island is also stretching its rebound. Through the victory against Suwon FC in the 16th round, it rose one place from 11th place to 10th place. There is still a long way to go, but it is meaningful because it is his first win on the road and his fourth win of the season.

Lee Chang-min is personally encouraged. It is because he has prepared a cloud board to win away games through assist, and his form is also rising personally. After the game, Lee Chang-min said, "It's not 100% yet," and when Jeju coach Kim Hak-beom pointed out that more shots should come out from the team, he said, "Even during practice, he said, 'It's time to come out' as a joke, but there was a side of restraint because he prioritized team play over the play I wanted to play. He said he wouldn't hit me today."

Lee Chang-min has made at least two to five goals every season since his debut as a pro, and his kick power is so good that his occasional mid-range shot is one of the top-rated in the K-League. When asked if the coach's regrettable part was "that (intermediate-range shooting), he said, "We need to find the sense through self-training. I will try to hit him when the game is held without thinking about it for the rest of the game," vowing to increase his attempts.

Jeju's empty balls this season may have also played a role in the background of the shooting order for Lee Chang-min. This season, Jeju remains tied for ninth in the team's score with 14 goals. In the meantime, the current ranking is acceptable because the number of runs is the third highest from the bottom. Except for Yuri Jonathan (4 goals), who scored the most in the team, Kim Joon-ha (3 goals), a freshman born in 2005, scored the most.

As the captain of the team, Lee Chang-min is also aware of the side effects caused by empty space. However, he cautioned, "We need to do it actively, but I think we need to align ourselves on whether the team should do it aggressively or not." In the match against Suwon FC, striker Dongjin Park's penalty kick was in vain, putting a damper on the team's poor scoring situation. However, Lee said, "I will push our strikers a lot when they say they are really burdened because they do not have many goals. Dong-jin, my friend, is a friend who will overcome well on his own. I hope he will use his victory as comfort for his teammates." 메이저놀이터

Lee Chang-min, who now has six points in every game, said, "You are giving me pressure," as reporters expected him to score mid-range shots soon. "Still, I will try my best in the next match (against FC Seoul)." Jeju will have an away match against Seoul at Sangambeol at 7 p.m. on Saturday. Seoul has the fewest goals scored among the 12 teams. Will Lee's cool mid-range shots break the "vacuum" of "empty versus empty?"
