Trojac, 안전놀이터 who decided to wear Ulsan's uniform, said, "My father was also a soccer player, so I have a lot of pride in my career. That's how much I want to leave a trophy for my career. That's why I came to Ulsan. I will help the team to achieve my goal so that I can show my son lifting the trophy," he said.
