I'm writing to the fans
Dear fans and citizens.
I'm really sad to tell you in such a difficult situation. I feel deeply responsible for causing you great disappointment, and I apologize for the final result that does not match the support you have sent so far.
I still find it difficult to accept this result, but I would like to step down as the CEO because I deserve to take responsibility for it. Once again, I would like to express my deep gratitude to our team for doing our best until the last minute and to the fans for applauding and encouraging tears after the game.
The 11 years I spent at Daegu FC were the most beautiful and precious time of my life. This is all thanks to the fans who have always been with us. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to former Mayor Kwon Young-jin (former) and current owner Kim Jung-ki (current) for leading me on this happy journey.
Our civic club has grown with the love of citizens and the dedication of its members, who are not shaken despite various difficulties while I was in office. From the birth of a dedicated stadium, Daegu's own fan culture, and its first FA Cup victory. The times we made together will be remembered for a long time.
As long as fans are with us, I have no doubt that Daegu FC will continue to develop as a prestigious club in the future.
We sincerely ask for your continued love and support so that all members can work together and return to K League 1 immediately and give joy to fans again.
I'm sorry that I couldn't fulfill my duties due to my lack of ability, and after that, as a fan of one person, I'll support 'our soccer team' with an unwavering heart.
Once again, I would like to bow my head to the citizens of Daegu for giving me unforgettable love for a lifetime, and I would like to apologize. Daegu FC and fans were my last love and pride.
I wish you all the best in your family.
