Cho Sung-kwon fell to the ground while competing for an aerial ball with Eo Jung-won in the extra time of the second half, when the score was 2-2 in the 2025 K League 1 match against the Pohang Steelers at Gwangju World Cup Stadium on the 22nd. Cho Seong-kwon, who collapsed while holding his head, could not get up. While colleagues urgently called the medical staff, the Gwangju medical staff also called the stadium paramedics and an urgent situation unfolded. Soon, medical staff and ambulances waiting at the stadium were put on the ground. Silence hung over the stands for a moment, and fans of both teams were seen looking at the ground with a worried look. Cho Sung-kwon soon got into the ambulance wearing a neck brace and was immediately taken to the hospital. If the response was a little late, a dizzying moment could have unfolded.

Gwangju was also shaken after Cho Sung-kwon was carried out. In the game that resumed in the midst of chaos, Pohang was allowed to counterattack just before the end of the game, and Kang Hyun-je pushed the shot blocked by Kim Kyung-min again, losing a point and losing 2-3. Gwangju, which had one win and four draws in five league games this season, bowed its head to its first loss of the season at home.
