Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC (Chairman Lee Do-hyun, hereinafter Jeonbuk Hyundai) regained the throne of South Korean professional football after four years since 2021.

Jeonbuk Hyundai, which made history in Korean professional football with its 10th K League 1 title, looked back at its '2025 Hana Bank K League 1' championship in key records and numbers.

■ 10 - First team in pro football history to win K League 1 10 times

On October 18th (Sat), Jeonbuk Hyundai secured 71 points by winning the home game against Suwon FC in the 33rd round of the K League 1.

On the same day, 2nd place Gimcheon Sangmu lost to FC Anyang, and regardless of the results of the remaining games until the 38th round, Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC engraved its name as the first team to win the K League 1 title for the 10th time in history.

Among South Korean professional sports teams, only the Kia (Haitai) Tigers in professional baseball have won the league title more than 10 times, with 12 titles.

■ 18 - 18 trophies won (K League 10 / Korea Cup 6 / ACL 2) challenge

Jeonbuk Hyundai, which solidified its position as the team with the most league titles by winning the K League 1 for the 10th time, will win a total of 18 trophies in the three major competitions of South Korean professional football - K League, Korea Cup, and AFC Champions League - if they win the Korea Cup final on December 6th.

This will be the record for the most number of titles won among South Korean professional football teams.

Having dominated the K League in the 2010s after winning the first K League 1 title in 2009, Jeonbuk Hyundai, once known as the 'rising powerhouse,' has now transformed into the top prestigious team in the K League.

■ 22 - 3rd all-time record of 22 unbeaten games (Jeonbuk record)

Jeonbuk Hyundai achieved a 22-game unbeaten streak starting from the 5th round of the K League 1 against Pohang on March 16th.

This is the third all-time tied record for the longest unbeaten streak in the K League 1, with the previous record also set by Jeonbuk Hyundai during the 2014-2015 season.

Jeonbuk Hyundai also holds the records for the most consecutive unbeaten games in the K League 1 (33 games: March 12, 2016, to October 22, 2016) and the second most (23 games: May 21, 2011, to March 17, 2012).

■ 36 - Hidden driving force of the championship, 'vocal hero' with an average age of 36 for the veteran backline

All players in Jeonbuk Hyundai's backline are veterans.

The four veteran players responsible for defense, including Kim Tae-hyun, who played as the left full-back in the first half of the season, are Hong Jeong-ho, Kim Young-bin, Choi Chul-soon, and Kim Tae-hwan.

These four players, led by Hong Jeong-ho, provided steady defensive support, allowing the attacking line to play confidently.

In particular, Hong Jeong-ho played a crucial role in stabilizing the defense, which was essential for Jeonbuk Hyundai to achieve this year's championship goal.

The game against FC Anyang on March 30th is considered a crucial match that set the tone for Jeonbuk Hyundai's championship this season. Despite it being his first game of the season, veteran Hong Jeong-ho led the team to a clean sheet victory, setting the team on an upward trajectory.

Their average age is 36, making them the oldest among the 12 teams in the K League 1 this season, but they are also the most experienced players.

Even when including Kim Tae-hyun, who played as the left full-back in the first half of the season, their average age is 34.4, proving that 'age is just a number' this season.

■ 500 - Choi Chul-soon becomes the first player in a single club to achieve 500 appearances

The living legend of Jeonbuk is Choi Chul-soon, the 'one-club man' of Jeonbuk Hyundai.

Despite being 38 years old, Choi Chul-soon earned recognition from former head coach Jose Morais for his thorough self-management and spirited play on the field.

Based on this, on February 20th, Choi Chul-soon finally achieved the milestone of 500 appearances with Jeonbuk Hyundai, including 404 K League games, 70 AFC Champions League games, 23 Korea Cup games, and 3 Club World Cup games.

He continued to showcase his fitness by playing in a total of 9 games, including 5 K League games, 3 Korea Cup games, and 1 ACL game.

■ 300,000 - Jeonbuk breaks the record for the shortest time to attract 300,000 home spectators + challenges the team's all-time highest attendance

This season, Jeonbuk Hyundai has recorded unprecedented success in attracting home spectators, supporting the team's revival.

Jeonbuk Hyundai achieved a sellout based on the team's historical seating capacity for the first time in team history during the game against Ulsan Hyundai on May 31st. Then, on October 18th, in the 33rd round of the K League 1, 21,899 spectators entered the stadium, surpassing 300,000 home spectators (315,105 in 17 games) in the shortest time in team history (17 games).

The previous record for the highest home attendance was in 2015 when 330,856 fans visited Jeonju World Cup Stadium.

Jeonbuk Hyundai had 315,105 home spectators until the 33rd round, and it is expected to set a new record for the highest attendance in the final round with at least two games remaining.
