Club career

Kang Seong-jin joined FC Seoul in 2021.

On 10 March 2020, Jung debuted in K League 1.[1]

On September 26, he started as a right winger in the Super Match away against Suwon Samsung Bluewings in the 32nd round of the league. In a corner kick situation, after receiving a short connected ball and raising a cross, Cho Young-wook scored the goal and helped record his first offensive point in his professional debut. After that, he showed active movement throughout the game until he was replaced by Dong-won Ji in the 68th minute. In the 33R Daegu FC match, he started as a right winger and did not play much, and was substituted out with Dong-Won Ji.

In the 35th round Gwangju FC away, in the 78th minute, after shaking the Gwangju defense with a dribble from the right flank, a powerful left-footed shot hit the near post passed goalkeeper Yoon Bo-sang and equalized the goal. It was his first professional goal and became the first semi-professional player to score. He is also the youngest scorer in the K-League history since 2013, when the promotion system was introduced. Seoul also succeeded in winning the so-called 'Seoul overturning the three-goal gap' in the match, adding to the festive atmosphere.
