Choi Kyung-sung (27, Middlesbrough), who is recovering from injury, has revealed his updates for the first time in a while.

The team Middlesbrough released photos of Choi Kyung-sung at a fan signing event sponsored by the company on the 17th. Choi Kyung-sung, who had trimmed his trademark long hair, smiled brightly while signing autographs for fans.

Choi Kyung-sung still enjoys remarkable popularity among female fans. Fans commented, "Choi Kyung-sung is really handsome," sharing photos on social media.

Korean fans who saw the photos also reacted explosively, saying, "It's refreshing to see him cut his long hair," "He finally regained his handsomeness," "It's exciting to see Choi Kyung-sung after a long time," "He really made a good decision to cut his hair," "It's much better. His looks have improved tenfold," "I want to see Choi Kyung-sung soon."

Choi Kyung-sung rose to stardom by scoring two goals with headers after coming on as a substitute in the Qatar World Cup. His performance in scoring two goals was a topic of discussion, but it was his handsome appearance that drew even more attention. Even foreign media visited the South Korean national team camp to see Choi Kyung-sung.

After that, Choi Kyung-sung moved to the Danish league and successfully settled down, even experiencing a championship in his first season. During his time in Denmark, Choi Kyung-sung maintained his long hair style.

There were also trials. Choi Kyung-sung underwent knee surgery after finishing the final league match against Silkeborg on May 27 last year. Complications arose, which made his rehabilitation longer than expected. As a result, Choi Kyung-sung has not been able to step on the field for nearly a year.

Choi Kyung-sung said, "I miss my fans. I will return soon," expressing his determination to come back.

During Choi Kyung-sung's absence, striker Jumin-kyu has firmly established himself as the starter. Following him, Oh Hyun-kyu and Oh Se-hoon are active as backups.
