Jesse Lingard played five parties after scoring his first goal of the season when FC Seoul defeated 2-1 on Saturday.
With the K League from February to November, Lingard and Co hope to start well.
After he was appointed as the club captain of FC Seoul, Lingard was disappointed when his game went to a 2-0 opening day defeat against Jeju United last weekend.
But he played an integral role to get his side of the goal in their home opener and scored 49 minutes against local rivals Anyang.
At the first view, it seemed that Lingard had lobbed the goalkeeper brilliant from the edge of the box.
But with further inspection it turned out that the ball was actually kicked by a defender of the former Manchester United man, before he walked in the back.
Regardless of how it went, enthusiastically Lingard immediately went to the fans to celebrate.
The delighted star initially protruded his tongue before he performed a kabout.
He then switched to a shoulder pick up before he produced his trademark “J-Lingz” hand gesture.
Lingard hugged a few teammates and threw one last party in a new dance movement before he was fifth.
After having endured a difficult start last year, the former English international is now flourishing in South Korea.
After yesterday's game, a fan pointed on social media: “Show that he is trying to seriously try to have an impact in Korea as a whole and not just a media movement.”
In a recent interview with The Independent, Lingard opened how he has adapted to life in Asia.
He said: “I didn't know what to expect, but seeing love and appreciation really put me down and got my confidence.
“I started to get a few assists, a few goals. When people ask for photos, I always try.
“When you're done with your career, and you don't get the applause you are used to, it can really touch you. I feel like just enjoying every moment.”
Lingard, 32, also revealed that he cried after his last man Utd training session, and opening his relationship with Jose Mourinho.
FC Seoul is the following in action on March 2, when they organize Gimcheon Sangmu, a team that fully consists of players who complete their mandatory military service in the Seoul World Cup Stadium.
