The 10 teams in the K League 2 (Second Division) showed their respective commitments and strong aspirations for promotion to the first division. In particular, the mindset of Gyeongnam FC coach Seol Ki-hyun, who drank torment last year, was different.
Gyeongnam FC coach Seol Ki-hyun said, “We failed to be promoted unfortunately last season” in the’Hana One Q K League 2 2021 Online Opening Media Day’ held non-face-to-face on the 23rd.
Seol’s Gyeongnam ranked 3rd in the K-League 2 regular season last year, and failed to be promoted to Suwon FC in the promotion playoffs.
Director Seol Ki-hyun, who took the first professional baton last year, caused a sensation through an organic play called ‘Sul soccer’. Even ahead of the 2021 season, the squad was reinforced by recruiting Yun Ju-tae, Lee Jeong-hyup, and Chae Kwang-hoon.
Director Seol Ki-hyun said, “At first it wasn’t easy to admit the failure to promote, but as time passed, I think we were lacking.” “I supplemented it through winter training. As fans gave me the nickname’Solk Soccer’, I will repay with a sense of responsibility. “He said.
Director Lee Min-seong, who took the new Daejeon Hana Citizen’s baton, also looked forward to winning the debut season.
“It’s a new command tower, but I am ambitious and will try to win,” Lee said with strength. Daejeon’s’Captain’ Park Jin-seop also expressed his confident aspiration, saying, “If you trust the coach and the players follow, you will be able to fully promote direct promotion. I will achieve that goal.”

Busan I-Park, which has come down to Division 1 and Division 2, is aiming to be promoted in one year by appointing coach Ricardo Perez, the only foreigner commanding tower among the K League 2 teams.
“The team has experienced players and young and talented players,” said Perez, saying, “I will play with the goal of winning every game.”
Ansan Greeners, who recruited Asunawi, a former Southeast Asian Indonesian national team, has been receiving a lot of attention even before the opening.
Director Kim Gil-sik Ansan said, “I didn’t expect that you would be interested in Asunawi so much,” and “I will help you adapt well so that you can participate in a lot.”
The K-League 2 kicks off on the 27th with Gyeongnam-Anyang, Jeonnam-Chungnam Asan, and Ansan-Kimcheon Sangmu, and about 9 months long.
