Legend of Jeonbuk Hyundai, along with his number, becomes a legend.

Jeonbuk Hyundai declared the permanent retirement of player Choi Cheol-soon's No.25 jersey in front of fans after the final match of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025'.

Jeonbuk Hyundai stated that they decided to retire the No.25 jersey permanently to acknowledge Choi Cheol-soon's efforts and dedication during his 20-year career and to forever remember his footsteps.

In addition, a sculpture containing the number '25' was dedicated to the eastern top permanent retirement zone in the stands at Jeonju World Cup Stadium to ensure that Choi Cheol-soon's number will be remembered there.

Choi Cheol-soon, who debuted with Jeonbuk Hyundai in 2006 and wore the number '2' until 2010, chose the number '25' as his jersey number from the following year until 2025, symbolizing himself.

This permanent retirement is the third in Jeonbuk Hyundai's history, with the first being the No.12 jersey representing the supporters group MGB (Mad Green Boys) and the second being the No.20 jersey of Lee Dong-guk, who retired in 2020.
