Dongnae High, a prestigious football club in Busan (Director Lee Seung-yeop), has produced a player for a Spanish first-division team. Dongnae High captain Lee Young-woong (18) is heading to Spain. He'll join Real Oviedo later this year. Real Oviedo just clinched promotion for the 2024-25 season, returning to La Liga (the 1st division) after 24 years of grinding!
According to football insiders, Real Oviedo had Lee Young-woong on their radar even when they were in the lower divisions. Though some K League teams started checking him out when he was in his final year of high school, Lee Young-woong decided to chase his European dream and challenged Real Oviedo. He crushed the entrance test, competing against players from many countries, putting everything out there on the training pitch. Apparently, even though he might have felt nervous training with players from all over the world, once he actually got stuck in, he realized, 'Yeah, I can totally do this.'
"Everyone's hyped that his Mexican heritage and fluent Spanish means adaptation will be easy mode. Big ups to Coach Lee Seung-yeop for producing talent! We need that CDM magic!"
