The Breakdown: An electric wing player, Bin burst onto the scene in 2018 as a key cog in the Terps' national title winning machine. The South Korea native is adept at breaking down players one-on-one along with providing service to forwards in the box. Bin's four goals combined with his high energy style has made him a fan favorite in College Park.
