Source-derived summary

Kwon Chang-hoon (Korean: 권창훈; born 30 June 1994) is a South Korean professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Super League (Indonesia) club Persija Jakarta.

Early life

Kwon started playing football when he was attending Seoul Yangjeon Elementary School. After he graduated from Joongdong Middle School, he entered Maetan High School, which had the under-18 team of K League club Suwon Samsung Bluewings.

Club career

Suwon Samsung Bluewings

Kwon was promoted to the senior team of Suwon Samsung Bluewings during the 2013 K League draft. On 3 April 2013, he came on as a 79th-minute substititue in a 6–2 AFC Champions League defeat to Kashiwa Reysol, making his professional debut. On 6 April, he made his K League 1 debut in a 3–1 win over Daegu FC. On 30 April, he scored his first goal for Suwon in a 2–2 Champions League draw with Guizhou Renhe.

Kwon was a substitute of Suwon until 2014, but became a key player after changing his position from central midfielder to attacking midfielder in 2015. That year, he scored 10 league goals and was selected for the league's Best XI. On 26 October 2016, he led Suwon to the Korean FA Cup final by having one goal and one assist in the 3–1 semi-final win over Ulsan Hyundai. On 3 December, he lifted the FA Cup trophy after the team defeated FC Seoul 10–9 on penalties in the final.

Dijon

In January 2017, Kwon joined Ligue 1 club Dijon on a 3.5-year deal.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Kwon Chang-hoon” as south Korean footballer. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Kwon, Chang-hoon and South.

Editorial reviewA productive starting point for separating a subject’s documented career from later reputation and commemoration. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1994, 2013, 2014, 2015—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1994-06-30. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Kwon, Chang-hoon and South providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Kwon Chang-hoon”, the useful work is to connect “south Korean footballer” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 9, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q766423. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1994, 2013, 2014 and 2015.

Critical limits

Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Read biographical claims against dates, named institutions and the cited references. Distinguish a subject’s later reputation from evidence produced during their lifetime.
