Suwon FC coach Kim Eun-joong did not hide his regret over the upset loss against Hyundai in Jeonbuk.

Suwon FC lost 2-3 to Jeonbuk in the 19th round of the 2025 K League 1 at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the 17th. He led by scoring two goals in the first half, but collapsed by allowing three goals in the second half. Suwon FC, which had no wins (two draws and two losses) in four consecutive games before the match, failed to escape winless due to a come-from-behind loss. The season record was three wins, seven draws and nine losses, and only 16 points.

Coach Kim said after the game, `I'm sorry to Suwon FC fans who came all the way to Jeonju and cheered for me. "I'm responsible for the part that didn't produce results. I'm the director." Regarding the part that collapsed after failing to keep the two-goal lead in the first half "I scored a lot of points with a quick transition last season, but there were not many scenes like that this year." I couldn't score even with a good chance, but it worked out well today. However, I had a hard time getting a run early in the second half that I didn't have to do"I think the current situation is the reality of our team. He defended well strategically and systematically against Jeonbuk, which had a good squad. But I think I was challenged by the game changer in the second half", he commented.




After the game, head coach Kim went to the away supporters' seat of Suwon FC and held a loudspeaker and talked with fans. In response, director Kim said "There were fans who wanted to hear the coach's story. Supporters are also part of our team. The results are all the responsibility of the coach. I hope our players will support us rather than criticize us. I want the director to give me all the criticism."
