With a final score of 6–0, it marked the club's first victory of the season.[4] He scored a tie-breaking goal against Yuseong Bio Science Technology High School and defeated the institution 3–2. The victory allowed his high school to represent Daejeon at the 104th National Sports Festival.[5]
Senior career

He became the third 17-year old to score that year after Yang Min-hyeok and Kang Ju-hyeok.[9]
