On the 5th, Jeonbuk Hyundai held the 2025 K League 1 'Championship Media Day' at the Fan Experience Hall in Jeonju World Cup Stadium. Head coach Poh Yeont, captain Park Jin-seop, veterans Choi Cheol-soon, Hong Jeong-ho, as well as Jeon Jin-woo, Lee Seung-woo, and Song Beom-geun players attended the event.

Coach Poh Yeont expressed, "As a coach, winning the K League 1 trophy is a significant achievement. It holds greater meaning due to our poor performance last year." When asked about his plans for next season, he replied, "I still have a contract with Jeonbuk. I have an important meeting with the club tomorrow, so it's hard to give a definite answer."

Regarding player Park Jin-seop, he stated, "Appointing him as captain was the right choice. I plan to recommend Park Jin-seop as an MVP candidate," showing his trust in the player.

Choi Cheol-soon, reflecting on his 20-year career at Jeonbuk, mentioned the most impressive figures as coach Choi Kang-hee, player Lee Dong-guk, and player Cho Jae-jin.

He explained, "Coach Choi Kang-hee set the tone and framework for Jeonbuk, while Lee Dong-guk created the team's culture." He also pointed out, "Player Cho Jae-jin had a significant marketing impact on the team," providing reasons for his choices.
