Kim Shin-wook, a South Korean foreign aid with only six months left on his contract with Shenhua, chose to leave the tournament and return to Shanghai after being disqualified from enrollment because he had no intention of moving to another club in the Chinese Super League. Considering that his daughter is studying at an international school in Shanghai, Kim and his family are staying in Shanghai for the time being, but there is no word on his future plans. As for the reason why he preferred not to accept a loan, it is closely related to his family's situation, the prospects of the Korean national team, and the imminent expiration of his contract.
Since joining Shenhua in July 2019, Jin Xinyu has lived alone in Shanghai. It was only last year that his wife and two daughters overcame the effects of the epidemic to join him in Shanghai. Little known is that Jin Xinyu also has a son, born in February last year, who is now less than two years old. Because of his young age, he was not able to come to Shanghai with his mother and sisters, but stayed in South Korea to be taken care of by the elders in turn.
Since the birth of his son, Kim Shin-yup has only seen him a few times after his return to China, and his wife has wept many times because of her longing and reluctance to part with him, suffering the pain of separation in silence. Given the experience of being separated from his son, Kim Shin-wook's reluctance to accept a loan out is more or less related to the fact that he doesn't want his family to have to make sacrifices again. Playing for another team would mean that he would have to be separated from his wife and two daughters, who have already settled down in Shanghai. While such a change is inevitable as a professional, it is difficult for players to juggle work and family. Against the backdrop of the epidemic, Kim Shin-wook is more interested in taking ownership of his future.
On the other hand, as a member of the South Korean national team, Kim Shin-wook will have to prepare for the game under the home-and-away system if he continues to be called up by Paulo Bento, traveling to the South Korean national team several times over the next three months to sign on and play with the team in the Top 12. At that time, in China's domestic matches, Kim Shin-wook will be absent from the AFC Cup, which starts in October, and the second stage of the league will not start until December, coupled with the isolation policy, he gave up the foreign loan is only to give up the five league games in August and some of the matches in December of the same year, and the impact on the individual's career is not very big.
In addition, Kim Shin-wook's contract with Shenhua will expire at the end of December, and given the various uncertainties, it is less likely that both sides will renew their contracts. After being de-registered in the summer transfer window, Kim Shin-wook, who was prepared for this, started to think about leaving the Chinese Super League in advance. At this stage, he and his family remain in Shanghai, and he continues to train with the assistance of his Korean personal physiotherapist in order to minimize the impact of the lack of matches on his form. Kim is expected to return to South Korea with his wife, daughter and personal therapist after taking care of his personal affairs, and then make a decision on the next stage of his career based on the call-ups to the Korean national team. In his personal plan, returning to the Korean league is likely to be his first choice.
