Perspective

Jeon won all three divisions of the Korean National School League, namely elementary,[4] middle and high school divisions. He was also named the top goalscorer at the middle school division,[5] and the Most Valuable Player at the high school division.[6] He tried to participate in a tryout for Eredivisie club PSV Eindhoven prior to his graduation from Maetan High School, which had a youth football club of Suwon Samsung Bluewings, but withdrew his plan after being criticised by Suwon fans.[7][8]

Jeon made his professional debut in an AFC Champions League qualifier against Thanh Hóa on 30 January 2018,[9] and scored his first professional goal in a K League 1 match against Incheon United on 22 April.[10] He helped Suwon win the 2019 Korean FA Cup before enlisting in military football club Sangju Sangmu (renamed Gimcheon Sangmu in 2021) to fulfill his military duty for one and a half years.[11] He played in only two league matches for Sangmu due to a car accident.[12] His long-term injury was followed by the stagnation of his development,[13] and Suwon was relegated to the K League 2 after the 2023 season.[14] On 9 July 2024, he transferred to Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors to mark a turning point in his career.[15]
