but the initial bid of A$285,000 was rejected with Adelaide asking for a transfer fee of $570,000. He was also a transfer target of another K-League side, FC Seoul
, who sent officials to negotiate the fee with Adelaide.
The transfer saga was resolved on Tuesday 13 January 2009 when Adelaide United revealed Ognenovski would join Seongnam at the end of the A-League 2008-09
season on a two year deal. The defender gave a glowing tribute to the club upon the announcement saying, “I’ve met some great people, the owners Nick and Dario
are probably the best people I’ve met in football so it is a tough decision but obviously I have to secure my future and look after my family so that was the main reason that I took up the offer.”

to play for the Republic of Macedonia national football team
in the match against Moldova
on 11 February 2009, although he did not feature due to issues with his eligibility.
After dashing his hopes for playing for Australia under former coach Pim Verbeek his dreams were finally answered when new Socceroos manager Holger Osieck
called him up for a friendly against Egypt in Cairo, Egypt, and he was subsequently named in the 23-man 2011 AFC Asian Cup squad.
Throughout the AFC Asian cup, he started every match and developed a solid defensive partnership with Lucas Neill, and scored the second goal in Australia's 6-0 defeat of Uzbekistan in the semi-finals.
