Transfers
Korea Republic under-23 forward Heo replaces veteran striker Joo Min-kyu, whose departure was announced on Sunday when he signed for Daejon Hana Citizen, as Kim Pan-gon’s side look to successfully defend their back-to-back domestic crowns.
Ulsan won the K League 1 title by eight points from Gangwon FC in the 2024 campaign but have struggled in the AFC Champions League Elite, picking up only one win in their opening six games in the new competition.
Heo and Lee leave a Gwangju side that has shone on the continental stage, sitting in second place in the eastern standings on 13 points as they trail leaders Yokohama F Marinos on goal-difference with two matches remaining in the league phase.
Kang, meanwhile, joins Ulsan after a season with FC Seoul having joined the club from Chinese Super League outfit Beijing FC.
Ulsan are 11th in the AFC Champions League Elite standings ahead of must-win matches against Buriram United on February 12 and Shandong Taishan one week later.
