President Jeong conveyed his willingness to support Lee Dong-guk, who has lived a life that is not a player, beyond respecting and respecting the legend in the world of national soccer.

This is the first time that President Chung has visited Jeon Ju-seong. It has been 5 years since 2015 that I have been in the Jeonbuk Hyundai Gyeonggi-do. Chairman Chung went to Jeonjuseong because Jeonbuk Hyundai is very likely to write a new K-League record, and Lee Dong-guk, captain of Jeonbuk Hyundai, who played an active role for 12 years, was a retirement game that put end to his active career. Jeonbuk Hyundai won the championship that day, achieving 4 consecutive victories for the first time in K-League 1.

President Chung, dressed in a casual jacket and cotton pants, a green mask, the symbol of Jeonbuk’s modern era, rose from the platform and clapped as fans sent a standing applause for two minutes starting on the 20th to commemorate Lee Dong-guk’s 20th back during the game. Congratulations.

After the match, the medals were presented directly to the Jeonbuk Hyundai players and photos were taken with the championship trophies.

Lee Dong-guk was also presented with a thank you plaque and a 2021 Hyundai Motor Company minivan. Player Lee Dong-guk responded with an autographed soccer ball and the two shared a hug. Jeonbuk Hyundai decided to permanently abstain from Lee Dong-guk’s number 20, with respect and courtesy. Even in rainy weather, President Chung left the scene after completing both the championship ceremony and the retirement ceremony.

Lee Dong-guk said, “Because President Chung was very interested in soccer, there was Jeonbuk, and it was a bigger gift for President Cha Boo to say, ‘Contact us often,'” he said. “It was an unforgettable retirement ceremony visiting the stadium,” he said.
