Jeju United, a professional soccer team, announced the retirement of goalkeeper Yoo Yeon-soo (25), who suffered an unexpected accident last year.
On the 8th, the Jeju club said, “Yeon Yeon-soo suffered serious injuries in a car accident and is currently concentrating on rehabilitation. “We sadly say goodbye,” he said on social media.
Yoo Yeon-soo was injured when he was hit on the side of the car by a drunk driver while passing through Seogwipo City in a car with his teammates Kim Dong-jun (29), Lim Jun-seop (20), and trainer in October last year. Lim Jun-seop did not suffer any major injuries, but Yoo Yeon-soo was seriously injured to the point of needing emergency surgery. Dongjun Kim suffered a bruise. A police investigation at the time revealed that the blood alcohol content of a drunk driver in his 30s exceeded 0.08%, the level at which his license would be revoked.
At the end of last year, Yoo Yeon-soo said, “I will recover well and show a good performance,” but it was reported that his recovery was slow, as he suffered symptoms of paralysis from the waist down. Eventually he decided to retire at his early age. Yoo Yeon-su, who joined Jeju in 2020 after attending Bupyeong High School and Honam University, played in 8 league games until 2022. He had occasional opportunities as a backup goalkeeper and had hopes of becoming a starting player, but he ended up becoming the victim of an unfortunate accident, ending his career. The Jeju club will hold a retirement ceremony for Yoo Yeon-soo during the league home game against FC Seoul at Jeju World Cup Stadium on the 11th.
