League 1 returned as did the fans in their droves as record
attendances across the country for Korea's top-flight

Binns and Paul
Neat look back at all six matches in an entertaining
opening weekend and have a number of interviews as well from the
mixed zones of Ulsan, Seoul and Daejeon.
K
League 1 kicked-off on Saturday 25th Februrary down at Ulsan Munsu
Stadium where the Champions Ulsan Hyundai took on FA Cup Winners
Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors, before later in the afternoon saw FC Seoul
face Incheon United in the Gyeongin Derby (or is it a derby? Listen
to find out why) and Suwon Samsung Bluewings against Gwangju
FC.
Then,
we move swiftly to Sunday where Pohang Steelers hosted Daegu in an
entertaining affair, while Daejeon Hana Citizen made their return
to K League 1 known as they faced Gangwon FC. Jeju United also
played Suwon FC.
