Timeline

2019

Ji is only a young boy and he’s a long way from home. It’s difficult to settle. I’m sure he’d like to have played more football than he has. But he’s worked hard in training and got himself a deserved start at Fulham, where I thought he was pretty bright at times. It takes time to get used to the physical side of things for the Asian players when they come over here, and it’s the same for the South Americans. They all adapt differently. For Ji, the big plus point is he’s a young lad. He’s got a lot to learn, but time is on his side. Reflecting on the season, team–mate Phil Bardsley said of Ji.

On 1 March 2019, Ji scored twice against his former club Borussia Dortmund and led Augsburg to a stunning 2–1 upset over the league leaders. His great performance earned him a spot in the Bundesliga team of the week for matchday 24.

On 6 May 2019 it was announced, that Ji would join 1. FSV Mainz 05 from the upcoming 2019/20 season.

2017

However, at the start of the 2017–18 season, Ji was out of the first team, due to injuries. It wasn't until on 29 October 2017 when he made his first appearance of the season, coming on as a late substitute, in a 3–0 win over Werder Bremen.

In June 2017, Ji married Kang Ji-eun, an older sister of Kang Ji-young, a former member of K-pop girl group Kara. The couple first met in 2015.

2016

In the 2016–17 season, Ji started the season well when he was a given a handful of first team appearances for the side and found himself competing in the attacking midfield position with Takashi Usami, Caiuby and Jonathan Schmid. He then scored his first goal of the season, in a 2–1 loss against RB Leipzig on 30 September 2016. The following month, on 26 October 2016, he scored again in a 3–1 loss against Bayern Munich in the second round of the DFB–Pokal. By the end of 2016, Ji added two more goals against Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Dortmund. As the 2016–17 season progressed, Ji began playing into a forward role following the absent of Alfreð Finnbogason and Raúl Bobadilla but struggled to score under the new position. Despite this, Ji played all 34 league matches in the 2016–17 season and made a total of 36 appearances and scoring 4 times in all competitions.4

Ji's first game after signing for the club on a permanent basis came on 1 February 2015, in a 3–1 win over TSG Hoffenheim, having come on as a second-half substitute.

Despite suffering from injury towards the end of the 2014–15 season, Ji went on to make a total of 12 appearances.

In the 2015–16 season, Ji started the season in and out of the substitute bench, as he struggled to score goals at the start of the season.

Ji signed a four-year contract with Borussia Dortmund on 1 July 2014 after finishing his loan spell with Augsburg. However, he only made appearances with the reserve team, prompting a return to Augsburg. This also combined with injuries as well. Prior his move to Augsburg, Ji found the six months spell at with injuries and playing in the reserve side, as "difficult" there.
