Lee Dong-kyung, a one-man show with two goals and one starting point, can't believe he's discharged from the military, only looking at 7th place after returning to Ulsan

Oct 25, 2025

"I can't believe it. I'll just look at the 7th place."

It was Lee Dong-kyung's determination. Kim Cheon-sang won 3-2 in the 34th round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' against Jeonbuk Hyundai held at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the 25th. Gimcheon, which became the only team to win two games against Jeonbuk this season, remained in second place with 58 points. Jeonbuk, which confirmed its victory in the last round, lost for the fifth time this season.

Lee Dong-kyung was at the center of Gimcheon. Lee Dong-kyung will say goodbye to Gimcheon after the game. He will be discharged from the military on the 26th. Lee Dong-kyung, who played in the last game, performed so well that even the word "one-man show" was not enough.

Gimcheon, who gave Lee Seung-woo the first goal in the first five minutes of the first half, immediately scored an equalizer. Lee Dong-kyung scored the equalizer with a sharp free kick. The kick to the goal hit Thiago's head and led to an own goal. But the tie didn't last long. He was dragged back after giving up a goal to Jeon Jin-woo in the 29th minute.

In the second half, Lee Dong-kyung's toes burned even more. After breaking through from the left in the third minute of the second half, he scored an equalizer with a sensational shot in front of the net. In the 26th minute, he turned the game around by connecting his free-kick with a fantastic left-footed shot. Lee Dong-kyung tormented Jeonbuk with a sharp breakthrough and kick from time to time, leading its last game in Gimcheon to victory.

Lee Dong-kyung, who was interviewed after the game, said "I can't believe the whole game. I can't believe it. It went by faster than I thought. It's time to truly love soccer." On this day, he performed a special ceremony of spreading five fingers. Lee Dong-kyung "Today is the 5th anniversary of meeting my wife. My wife wouldn't have known, but if she scored a goal, she said, "I prepared a special ceremony, but I'm glad I scored a goal."

Lee Dong-kyung will now return to Ulsan. Ulsan is fighting to stay. He said "I'll just go with one goal that I can finish seventh, rather than a personal goal. I'll cheer for you while watching the Ulsan game tomorrow."

He finally told his successors "Time flies. I told you not to count how many days are left, but after a while, you return to civilian life. If you care about development in time, it can be a beneficial time. I hope you have a good time with your colleagues."
