Early life

[edit | edit source]

Jang became interested in football while in the second grade at Mungi Elementary School after her younger brother received a football as a present and they started playing together.[4] She joined a football club in the fourth grade and was scouted by Jang Dong-jin, a coach from Shinha Elementary School in Icheon, a school known for its girls' football team.[4][5] She chose to move away from home to pursue football. In 2008, while in the sixth grade, she won the top goalscorer award at the 7th Korean Women's Autumn Football Championship.[4]

Club career

[edit | edit source]

Jang attended Korea University, where she played as a striker for the newly formed women's football team.[6] Upon graduation, Jang was selected by Seoul WFC as the first pick in the 2019 WK League new player draft.[7] She transferred to Incheon Hyundai Steel Red Angels ahead of the 2022 season.[8]

On 15 September 2025, she moved abroad for the first time and signed a contract with Turkish club Galatasaray.[9]

International career

[edit | edit source]

Jang was selected to play for South Korea in the 2015 AFC U-19 Women's Championship.[10] The team's third-place finish secured them qualification for the 2016 U-20 Women's World Cup, where Jang again represented her country alongside six of her Korea University teammates.[11] She received her first senior team call-up in 2016 and was the only university student to be part of the bronze medal-winning team at the 2018 Asian Games.[12][13]
