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)
