The son of the popular actor Song Kang-ho joined a South Korean professional football club Thursday.

Suwon Samsung Bluewings in the top-flight K League Classic said they drafted right fullback Song Jun-pyung out of Yonsei University.The 20-year-old previously played on Maetan High School based in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province, some 45 kilometers south of Seoul.

Song was a winger early in his high school career but switched to defense in college.

Song was one of four ex-Maetan High players selected by Suwon Thursday. Yoo Jue-an, former striker on the national U-17 team, was the only one to be drafted straight out of high school.

Suwon, which won the Korea Football Association Cup this year, will open their camp on Jan. 9, and will travel to Malaga, Spain, on Jan. 13, for overseas training. (Yonhap)
