The 34-year-old made the switch to bring an end to a two-year spell with Ulsan, during which time he scored 27 times in 69 K League matches and won back-to-back domestic league titles. It was his second stint with the club having spent a season there in 2019.
Joo, who made his international debut in March last year against Thailand and scored his first goal for the national team against Singapore in June, joins a Daejeon side that finished eighth in last year’s K League standings.
He netted three times in 13 appearances in the AFC Champions League for Ulsan, including his side’s only goal in their 3-1 loss against Shanghai Port in the AFC Champions League Elite™ 2024/25 in November.
Ulsan also announced the signing of central midfielder Lee Jin-hyun from Polish side Puszcza Niepolomice, the 27-year-old returning to Korea Republic after previous spells at Pohang Steelers and Daegu.
