Special interview with Han Ka-ram: Journey from TNT to FC Ayang

Han Ka-ram, vice-captain of FC Ayang, is one of the players who has been linked with TNT, training with them in an attempt to carve out a place in his career in Korea. Hahn began his professional career in Germany in 2017 with FC Oberneuland, where he demonstrated his abilities as a midfielder capable of scoring goals and making plays.

After several years playing in the Bundesliga, Han returned to Korea in June 2023, where he had initially decided to retire from football and join the army. But during the winter transfer window, his agent encouraged him to challenge again, prompting him to start preparing on his own.

During this period, his former teammate Park Yi-young, who had also returned to Korea, offered him the opportunity to train with TNT. Han had heard about the club before, and when he heard about the opportunity to join, he did not hesitate.

“At first, I didn't think about playing for TNT, but when I joined, the circumstances changed and I realized the quality of the club,” Han says. He noted that TNT was more organized than he expected, as they had alternative plans for training in case of bad weather, which left a positive impression on him.

His experience with TNT helped him a lot in joining FC Ayang. “If my body wasn't ready, joining a professional team would be difficult,” Hahn says, adding that TNT was the perfect environment for preparation.

Han maintains that TNT's goals go beyond competing in the V League, and believes the club can reach the K League in the future. “Maybe I'll face them as an opponent one day, or even play for them, who knows?”
