Maybe it's due to all the Asian Games and national team stuff. I know one of the Spotv channels will always play Kleague though. And when KBO takes a break the big 3 suddenly love Kleague again.
Buy a 2015 season ticket+uniform for only 40,000 won (Offer ends at Dec. 31 and will be back to the regular price of 120,000 won)
~$40 equivalent for a season seat AND a jersey? Man, what is up with these Korean people. I would buy it even if I only had time to go to just a handful of the games.
AWWW YISSSS. Taking my bankbook out. Might as well buy this season's kit as well, never did get around to that.
Koreans are stupid, that's why. They would rather go to a K-Poop concert or watch shitty boring baseball.
Short interview with Jeju's Droguett. "I rather help Jeju qualify for the ACL than become the top goal scorer." Also, he talks about how loneliness affected him when he was playing for Jeonbuk. He's better now since he has his whole family living with him in Jeju. http://sports.news.naver.com/sports...9&article_id=0002028145&date=20141107&page=10
Does anyone know how to see K League (or their youth teams) train? Where can someone find out when and where teams do their mid-week training? Thanks in advance.

General Manager, Lee Chul-geun draws a new future for Jeonbuk - New paths for the club 2015 pre-season for Jeonbuk will be different to previous years because their training camp will be in UAE Dubai. They will return to Brazil in 2016. "As preparation for 2022 Qatar WC, we are going to Dubai to promote Hyundai Motor. We will return to Brazil in 2016 because Rio Olympics will be held then." 2020 Project long-term road-map Jeonbuk is in process of 2020 project. By 2020 they hope to fill half of Jeonbuk squad with local players. For that, they are investing a lot of youth development and sending top talents to overseas to learn advanced football. The first was Kim Shin to Lyon, but they are not going to stop there. Every time a talent comes through Jeonbuk they want to send to help build their skills. Jeonbuk are planning on using Hyundai Motors more frequently. Hyundai Motors sponsors various Europe and South American teams. The plan is to agree with these clubs to send the players to help with their skills. "Our goal is to have at least one Jeonbuk developed players in each of the teams. Having good players coming out will be helpful in development of both football club and company's marketing." They are not only sending players. For youth team development they are sending youth team coaches overseas education frequently. Jeonbuk are already partners with Lyon so we are learning strategies from advanced youth football and sending coaches to them as well. Increase in South East Asia market + fans, GM Lee Cheol-geun's new ideas He is planning on a new project. There are a lot of women from Vietnam in the area and he wants to go deeper in this market. He wants to sign a talented young Vietnam player and market the player to the Vietnamese people living in the area. The long-term plan is to increase Vietnamese interest to the club and increase home crowd. They are in process of youth development but they also want to increase the number of kids playing football as hobby/or just interest. This is to increase the number of Jeonbuk fans for the future. So, Lee Cheol-geun held an opening day at the Club house and conference with kids and their parents. He promoted learning good football in good environment and the parents showed positive response. He is planning to actively promote this. This is the blueprint to have average attendances of 40,000 by 2020. There are currently 400 kids in Jeonbuk's youth class (U-12). From next year we are thinking to increase by 1000 kids. Then by 10 years it will be 10,000. And if that kid is in a family of four this will increase the numbers. We will run this for 10 years. Lee Cheol-geun "They say a shop needs to run in a good area to be successful. Football also needs to be high quality. If you go cheap it will only remain cheap. " His message was hope for K League clubs and Korean football to increase in investments as Jeonbuk has. http://sports.news.naver.com/sports...39&article_id=0002029092&date=20141128&page=1
I'm not a fan of Jeonbuk but I'm a fan of any improvements to any team in the K-League. GREAT approaches. hopefully we'll see these "words" put into action.
