On his Instagram account, Kwon wrote: "Hello, I'm Kwon Hyuk-gyu to all the fans who love Busan iPark.
"After receiving an offer from a great team I've been dreaming of since childhood, I've chosen a new challenge, I've written a long article to say my last goodbye.
"I always had the Busan iPark emblem on my left chest except for my military service days since I had the goal of becoming a professional soccer player in 2010.
"It's heartbreaking to leave a club that has occupied more than half my life, but I've decided to move because it's time to start a challenge to achieve a dream I've had since I was a kid.
"Since I became a professional for the first time, the fans shouted my name, and the fans who cheered for me passionately every game, I will work hard and adapt well to the new team!
"I hope to see him in the stadium again someday, he will be a great player who will not be ashamed of his fans. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 🙇🏻 ♂️❤️🤍"
