# THE 'BIG FRESHMEN' WHO HEATED UP THE WINTER TRANSFER MARKET It’s been a wild ride. The ‘big freshmen’ who heated up the winter transfer market have been flying high from the first edition. Last weekend, K League 1 and 2 kicked off. This year was also a box office hit. **[카지노](https://www.oncasino.site)** A whopping 94,460 people attended the six games of the first round of the K League 1. This is the third highest opening round attendance in the history of the K League 1, behind only the 2023 season’s 101,632 and the 2017 season’s 98,353. In K League 2, Suwon Samsung set a new K-League 2 single-game attendance record with 14,196 fans. Amidst the intensity of every match, new faces stood out, including Lee Soon-min, Kwon Kyung-won, Choi Kyung-rok, and Osmar, all of whom were “star transfers” who moved to the league last year after garnering a lot of attention. Lee Soon-min was the hottest signing last winter. Named the best midfielder in the K League 1 last season after leading [Gwangju FC](https://guidetoiceland.is/traveler-profiles/cristellecruz-one/will-db-took-first-place-in-the-regular-league)’s breakout season, Lee was courted by big clubs such as Ulsan HD, Jeonbuk Hyundai, and FC Seoul. Daejeon Hana Citizens, who were looking for a specialized defensive midfielder, offered a huge transfer fee and salary for Lee. There was talk of “overpaying,” but Lee changed all that after just one game, the opening match against Jeonbuk (1-1 draw).
