The way I see is this:

1. Some of the players may have K-League playing experience, but cannot play in the first team. They want to play more, but not willing to go to the semi-pro N-League, so they come here loh. Their ultimate aim is still the K-League.
2. Some of the players may be the ultimate reserves in K-League, i.e. whole season at most sit on bench, heng heng come out 1 min, otherwise sit there the whole season. They want to go to N-League, but not enough match fitness, so they come. Their aim may be to go back and play in the N-League, and try their luck in the K-League again.
3. The others may just be not good enough to play as a foreigner in the S-League, so it's the clubs that aren't interested, not the players.

Well Doggy's signing at DPMM was met with lukewarm responses from fans and club officials alike, which may be a blessing in disguise that no S League club went on to sign him in close season.

With the exception of Park Tae-Won, Korean foreign signings had paled in comparison to Japanese, Thai, Eastern European, Aussie and African ones.
