The 23-year-old is currently unattached after recently graduating from Jungwon University, where he played in the U-League.

Victory has three visa spots open on their squad and needs a left-back following the exit of Joe Marston Medal winner Dan Georgievski to Newcastle Jets.

“Jun’s come over, he trained with us a couple of weeks last season,” Kevin Muscat told SEN.

“He’s someone we’ve been monitoring. He’s come out of the university system in Korea.

“We’ve studied that market a little bit and it’s difficult to get players out of Asia once they commit to a club because they put them on long-term deals.”

Jun has represented South Korea at multiple junior age levels, and has also spent time in the youth system at Jeonbuk Motors.

The Korean previously spent time training with Victory prior to the 2016/17 A-League finals.

“We’re just having a look at him and giving him that experience, but at the same time we’ve still got an opportunity to sign a couple of foreigners so we’ll see what happens,” Muscat said.
