On the 1st, at the Jeonju World Cup Stadium, the 2020 season Jeonbuk championship award ceremony and Lee Dong-guk’s retirement ceremony were held. Lee Dong-guk, who achieved victory for the eighth and four consecutive years together with Jeonbuk, held a grand retirement ceremony.
At this day’s retirement ceremony, Jeonbuk fans who entered the stadium, as well as colleagues who had been with Lee Dong-guk’s players’ family and life, gathered to shine.
The beginning of the retirement ceremony was Lee Dong-guk’s performance. Fans applauded and recognized Lee Dong-guk’s hard work over the past 12 years. Since then, the Jeonbuk club presented Lee Dong-guk with a license plate and car and expressed their gratitude.
It was Lee Dong-guk, who was eager to cry, but when CEO Heo Byung-gil announced his decision to permanently abstain from his No. 20 uniform, his eyes turned red. Jeonbuk’s missing player uniform number is the team’s first. This is how I recognized Lee Dong-guk’s dedication.
Following Lee Dong-guk’s best friend and director Park Dong-hyuk, Asan’s director Chungcheongnam-do, there was a video of Lee Dong-guk’s five children cheering him on, creating a heartwarming atmosphere.
After the scheduled retirement ceremony, Lee Dong-guk expressed his feelings. Lee Dong-guk said, “I wasn’t sad when I thought it was a new beginning, not the end. I would like to thank the staff at Jeonbuk Hyundai for making the retirement ceremony splendid and impressive. I’m really thankful to the fans who came out even with the bad weather. I think I’ll remember the moments I played in Jeonbuk, ”he sighed deeply.
Lee Dong-guk, who was full of sadness, continued speaking with a neck to neck. “I am grateful to my parents who have supported my footballer’s son for more than 30 years. (After retirement) I think it would be nice if you could be your partner in your new life. I am grateful to my wife, my five children, and my five brothers for understanding and following my father’s life as a footballer since he was born. I’m sorry my dad didn’t spend a lot of time together and I’ll try to make sure I get to spend a lot of time while I retire. Thank you ”, he expressed his gratitude to his family.
Finally, he got rid of all his feelings. Lee Dong-guk said, “I kept crying while looking at the No. 20 uniform ever since I entered the playground today.” “I got a lot out of coming to Jeonbuk. I am thankful to the fans who stood by and supported me when I was not good or bad. There is no one in the future, but I hope they will support us and give us strength behind our players. Thank you for seeing a lot of number 20. ”He also thanked the fans.
