Ulsan Hyundai striker In-jae-kyu, who won the K League 1 scoring title for the first time in two years, revealed that he missed last season due to regulations.
Lee had the best season of his career in 2023. His team, Ulsan, won their second consecutive K League 1 title. It was his first K League 1 title.
He was also the top scorer. His 17 goals this season tied him with Thiago (Daejeon Hana Citizen). However, due to the K League's rules, In-Joo played less minutes.

"I didn't think about it (winning the title and being the top scorer) even once. In life, you can't ignore the experience of winning. After the Daegu game, the greed in me boiled over. I asked my teammates a lot," he said, sharing his feelings about being the top scorer.
While he enjoyed the top scorer's honor by one point after a fierce competition with Thiago, last season was the opposite. He tied with Cho Kyu-sung (now Meatwillan) with 17 goals, but lost the top scorer title to Cho because he played more minutes. It's understandable that Cho was frustrated with the K League rules.
"Last year, there was swearing. Other leagues share the award, and when I got on, they said, 'We like this system. It would be nice to share the award, but there's something special about only one person getting it. There were no complaints. It feels good to get it this year."
He won the award for the second time in two years after a 2021 season in which he scored 22 goals. At 33 years old, he is still in his prime and proved to be one of the best strikers in the league as he helped Ulsan win the title.
