Hwaseong lost to Seongnam FC 0-2 in an away match of Hana Bank's K League 2 2025 first round held at Tancheon Sports Complex on Sunday. Hwaseong, who joined the K League 2 starting this season, tried to win its first championship as a pro, but suffered a setback.
Woo, who started the game, led Hwaseong's defense team with the right to provide and committed play. When he was on offense, he became the center of the rear build-up and threw a bold forward pass.

Woo Je-wook, who met in the mixed zone (joint coverage area) after the game, said, "Even in the tough game, the play we wanted to play came out, but there was a difference in the part where we lost a point due to a small mistake. On the contrary, we also had a lot of chances," adding, "It's a little disappointing, but we'll prepare well for the next game because we can improve enough."

One of the keywords explaining Hwaseong was "debut." It was the first professional match for Hwaseong, and Cha Du-ri, the coach of Hwaseong, also made his debut as a professional head coach. On top of that, most of the players also made their debut as a professional head coach. Excluding two foreigners, six out of nine players out of 11 players went on to become professional players.
The same was true of Hwaseong's captain Woo Je-wook. He only played in overseas leagues and in K3 and K4 leagues, but rarely touched a professional golfer. Making his professional debut after turning around, Woo emphasized a sense of responsibility. "At first, I felt excited and happy, but I immediately focused on the match," Woo said. "Since I am not young, I felt responsible for the argument that I should carry out a given mission and bring results."

Hwaseong almost caused an unexpected incident against Seongnam. He scored the first goal in the first three minutes of the match, but the VAR canceled the game. After the goal, Cha immediately called Woo Je-wook and gave him instructions.

Regarding Cha's instructions, Woo Je-wook said, "He ordered a more aggressive pass instead of a back pass," adding, "He told me to go into the dangerous area and make a challenging pass rather than an easy pass."
Hwaseong showed its own competitiveness through its more organized appearance and sparkling pattern plays. "Of course, we lost in terms of points, but we played with our own color," Woo said. "I think we need to keep pushing and making sure we get results." 온라인바카라

The team will play its opening game against South Chungcheong Province's Asan at 2 p.m. on March 2 at Hwaseong Sports Complex. "We must never lose because it's a home game," Woo said. "It's not easy to lose if we lose consecutive games in professional leagues, so we will bring results no matter what."
