On January 25th in Beijing time, well-known media personality Miao Yuan disclosed on his social media platform that Korean soccer elites had formed a gossip group in which they eagerly exchanged information about the dynamics of teams in the Chinese Super League. Among them, Kim Min Jae's words had a notable impact on Kang Sang Woo's choice of whether or not to join Guoan's team.
Miao Yuan further revealed that Korean players frequently discuss the financial soundness of Chinese Super League teams in the group, and are now generally optimistic about the financial situation of clubs such as Shandong, Shanghai, Henan, Shenzhen, Shenhua, Sanzhen, Chengdu and Zhejiang. In terms of transfer matters, they will consult with players who have played in our country, such as "two golds and one grandson". It is worth mentioning that Kim Min Jae had a lot of negative comments about Guoan this time, which at one time made Kang Xiang You's decision to join the team confusing.
