From Bucheon to Brentford | Thousands of Stories | Series 3 - Episode 3

The third series of Thousands of Stories continues with a powerful tale of ambition, identity, and adapting to life far from home. In this episode, we sit down with Brentford defender Ji-Soo Kim and the club’s head of individual player development, Steven Pressley, as they reflect on their shared experience of leaving home at a young age to pursue their footballing dreams - Ji-Soo from Bucheon, South Korea, and Steven from Elgin, Scotland. Over a Korean barbecue, the duo discuss the challenges of starting fresh in a new country, the sacrifices made along the way, and how Brentford has become more than just a workplace, it’s become a second home. With honesty and humour, Ji-Soo opens up about adjusting to life in England, learning a new language and culture, and the support he’s received from those around him. Steven, who once walked a similar path, offers insight into the resilience required to succeed in a foreign land and the role the club plays in helping young players settle, grow, and thrive. #thousandsofstories #brentfordfc #jisookim #stevenpressley #frombucheontobrentford #southkorea #scotland #footballjourney #premierleague #bfc Click the like and subscribe buttons if you would like to see more!
