Career

Debut in the K League

After leaving the high school, Baek joined the K League side Jeonnam Dragons.[1] He made four appearances in his first season before he was moved into the reserve team. In 2004, Baek played seven games in the first team and his progress was noted by South Korea U20 coach Park Sung-hwa who installed him as a captain.

The following year Baek took another step forward when he joined FC Seoul. He appeared 15 times in the K League in the 2005 season, scoring one goal. In July 2006, FC Seoul negotiated with Suwon Samsung Bluewings to transfer Baek to Suwon. Later in the same month, his transfer was confirmed. The reported transfer fee was about $1.5 million.[2][3][4][5]

Lee Man

Out of contract for six months, Baek decided to go abroad for the first time in his career. On 6 June 2018, he reached an agreement with Hong Kong Premier League side Lee Man.[6] He scored his debut goal for the club on 27 October 2018 against Eastern in the Hong Kong Senior Challenge Shield in a 2–1 defeat.
