Lee Han-do, who attended the 2023 K-League Winter Field Training Media Camp interview held at Songjeong Hotel in Busan on the 9th, talked about his responsibility as a captain and his goals for the new season.
Lee Han-do said, “Last season as captain, I definitely felt the weight of being the captain.

“I’ve been vice-captain a few times. At that time, I only thought I had to help the captain. Now that I’m really a captain, I have a lot to think about. I’m trying to prepare more diligently,” he added.
Currently, there are many young players in their 2nd or 3rd year in Busan. At the coach press conference earlier, coach Park Jin-seop also emphasized the role of the captain and senior players.
Regarding this, Lee Han-do said, “I know this well because I had a time when I was a young player. It’s great when it’s good, but it’s important to deal with it when it’s difficult or when the team atmosphere is down. He said, “(Park) Jong-woo hyung, vice-captain (Jung) Won-jin, and (Kwon) Hyuk-kyu are there, and I will lead them with their help.”
