FC Seoul’s Jung Seung-won did not hide his desire to win the team’s victory and win the top scorer and MVP award.
Jung Seung-won started in the 24th round of Hana Bank K League 1 2026 against FC Anyang at Anyang Stadium on the 22nd and scored one goal and two assists to lead his team’s 7-0 victory.
After the game, Jung Seung-won said, “I’m happy to win the team,” adding, “I felt that I was in good shape since the warm-up today. As the first goal was scored quickly, we were able to solve the game as we wanted. All of our players did well,” he said.

On this day, Jung Seung-won collided with his opponent due to a ceremony at the time of the first goal. Kim Jin-soo’s cross was returned to the header in the 6th minute of the first half. Moon Seon-min then flooded the ball across the goal line and pushed it. It was initially recognized as Jung Seung-won’s goal, but after the game, the Korean Professional Football Federation corrected it with Moon Seon-min’s goal.
The situation in question happened after that. Jung Seung-won, who recognized his goal, performed a recently made signature ceremony toward the broadcast camera. Coincidentally, as the ceremony continued toward the camera in front of the Anyang home fan seat, the referee took out a yellow card, judging that it was a provocative act toward the opponent. Anyang players and fans strongly protested, and there was a fierce war of nerves between the players of both teams.
Jung Seung-won emphasized, “I had no intention of provoking the opponent,” and added, “I have recently pushed a ceremony to make the letter ‘MVP’ with my fingers.” “I found the camera after scoring a goal, but there was only a camera there,” he explained.
He said, “I think I should become more famous. I also explained the meaning of the ceremony to the referee, but it was not accepted. I think I need to do better,” he said.
Regarding the colleagues who performed a fierce ceremony together toward the same camera, he said, “I think it’s the same result. I just did a ceremony in front of the camera. It was a wonderful ceremony,” he added.

Seoul reached the 50th place with the victory. He strengthened his dominance by beating second-ranked Ulsan HD and third-ranked Jeonbuk Hyundai (37 points) by 13 points. Jung Seung-won has seven goals and four assists until the match against Anyang, showing his best performance in Seoul in the second half. He is only four goals behind Yago (11 goals in Ulsan), the leading scorer. If Seoul wins the championship as it is, it will be able to overcome the MVP award.
Jung Seung-won said, “I really want to be the top scorer. I think I can record as many attack points as possible if I try to work in one mind with my colleagues. I am so grateful that my colleagues are still helping me a lot.” Regarding the MVP award, he said, “Now, the priority is to score as many goals as possible to help the team win the championship. In order to receive the MVP, my performance is important, but I think the votes of reporters are also crucial. I look forward to your kind cooperation.”
Seoul’s victory is gradually approaching a reality, but Jung Seung-won did not let go of the tension. “We’re all focused on every game that’s coming up. Players talk a lot about “Let’s never miss this opportunity.” I have constantly remembered the word ‘winning’ to myself. I will definitely lift the trophy,” he said.
