It's not good to perform poorly at the league level, but it continues to "show up" in the cup. On the evening of June 19, local time in South Korea, the round of 16 of the 2024 Korea Cup (formerly the Korea Football Association Cup) was contested, and in Gimpo, South Korea, Jeonbuk Hyundai Motor, which was fighting away, lost 0-1 to Gimpo FC and stopped in the round of 16. In this game, Jeonbuk was completely passive, while K2's Gimpo FC was steady and steady, suppressing Jeonbuk in the whole field. After this 0-1, Kim Doo-hyun coached Jeonbuk with 4 games, 1 draw and 3 losses without a win. It also put a lot of pressure on the league at the weekend.
There were a number of high scores in this round of the FA Cup. K1 No. 1 Ulsan, who played all the substitutes, drew 3-3 with K2 "penultimate Kyeongnam" with one less player in regular time, and both sides scored one goal each in extra time to win Ulsan 3-0 on penalties.

After defeating the leader, coach Choi Cheol-woo was officially inaugurated as the coach of Seongnam
In the 17th round of the K2 League, which ended last weekend, an upset was staged in Seongnam. Seongnam FC, who are bottom of the league table, scored a valuable three points at home to leaders FC Anyang 3-1, and this game was won by two substitutions by acting coach Choi Cheol-woo, and the two players who had just come on to complete the second-half goal.
On June 19, Seongnam FC officially announced that Choi Zheyu officially took over the team. Since taking over the team as the head assistant coach in May, Coach Choi has led the team to achieve 5 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses, especially in the last two games, the team has won two consecutive victories. Now, Coach Cui's conversion is also expected. Whether Seongnam FC has any ideas this season depends on Coach Choi.
South Korea's new generation of high school strikers landed in the German Second Division? Schalke 04 are looking to sign Lee Yong-joon
Although the South Korean Olympic team failed to qualify for the main event of the Paris Olympics in the U23 Asian Cup, it does not mean that their performance has not received attention. According to news from Germany, the German second club Schalke 04 has met Lee Yongjun, a high school striker of the South Korean Olympic team, and hopes to bring him to Germany in the summer. In fact, for Li Yongjun, this is not the first European club to fall in love with him, and Watford in the Championship has also issued an invitation to him. Lee Yong-joon will retire and return to Suwon FC on July 15, after which the two clubs will officially start negotiations for an estimated transfer of €300,000. If Lee Yong-jun lands on the German second division Schalke 04, he will be the second Korean player to land on the "Shakhtar" after Lee Dong-kyung. We will continue to monitor the progress of the transfer.
