Cheongju won their last game, 1-0 versus Yangju Citizen played at home. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager Choi when Jeong-Hoon scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 58th minute.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Gangneung City that ended 0-0.
