Park Seong-hoon (Korean: 박성훈; born January 27, 2003) is a South Korean professional footballer who plays as a central defender for K League 1 club FC Seoul. He trained in the club's youth system, serving as captain for its U-18 youth team. He made his debut appearance in the 2022 K League 1 season. After limited appearances in his first two seasons, Park became a regular starter in 2024, scoring his first league goal.
Early life and youth career
Park Seong-hoon was born on January 27, 2003.[1] He enrolled at Osan Middle School and played for the FC Seoul U-15 Team.[2] He continued his education at Osan High School, playing for the FC Seoul U-18 Team and serving as captain of the squad.[3]
Senior career
In 2022, Park signed a professional contract with K League 1 club FC Seoul.[3] He received few opportunities to play with the squad, making a single appearance in each of his first two seasons with the team;[2] he was characterized as a "backup centre-back" at the time.[4]
Beginning in 2024, Park's playing time increased due to the absence of defender Kim Ju-sung, who had sustained an injury earlier in the season, and Rebin Sulaka's departure from the team.[5][6] In June, Park scored his debut goal, contributing to FC Seoul's 3–0 victory against Suwon FC.[7] Writing for football magazine FourFourTwo, Oh Jong-hyeon designated him as the standout player of the match for his performance in both offense and defense.[8] Park was declared the Man of the Match by the K League, rating his performance 8.3 points out of ten.[6] He appeared in the starting lineup in eleven of his twelve appearances in the season.[4]
Following Kim's return in the 2025 season and being pattered with Yazan Al-Arab, Park was principally been used a substitute.[4] He scored his second league goal during a match in July against Jeju SK FC.[9]
International career
In 2018, Park was called up to the South Korea national under-17 football team.[10] As of 2025, he is a member of the under-23 team.[11]
Style of play
Park plays as a central defender. He has been noted for his "remarkable" positional awareness and ability to handle the ball.[3]
