Wang Chien-ming was born in Seogwipo, Jeju, South Korea to a Taiwanese father and Korean mother. While in the fourth grade of elementary school he would join the Jeju United youth system before going to Dankook University to participate in college football. After he graduated he returned to Jeju United, however he did not make any appearances for them and joined fourth tier club Cheongju City before joining Gwangju in the second tier.[1]

On 28 August 2020 after a series of training sessions Wang would join China League One club Shaanxi Chang'an Athletic.[2] Made his debut for the North West Wolves on 13 September 2020 in a league match against Jiangxi Liansheng. On 3 June 2021, Wang scored his first league goal in a 2:2 draw against Zhejiang.[3] Wang played a total of 56 matches and scored 4 goals in all competitions during his time with the Xi'an club.

International career

Although born in South Korea, Wang Chien-ming was eligible to play for Chinese Taipei through his grandfather.[8] He would be selected for the squad for the 2019 AFC Asian Cup qualification – third round match against Singapore on 27 March 2018, however he could not play because there was still confusion about his grandfather who had a Republic of China passport rather than the newly named and relocated Taiwan passport.[9] He would be eventually allowed to represent Chinese Taipei and would make his debut on 1 June 2018 against India in the 2018 Intercontinental Cup in match that ended in a 5–0 defeat.[10]
