Last weekend at Seongnam's home stadium, the spectators filled the spectators with the slogan to protect the team.



This is because the club is engulfed in suspicions of misappropriation of donations, and rumors of disbandment and sale have surfaced in the political arena.



The Seongnam players, who remain at the bottom in the chaotic situation of even resigning as manager Kim Nam-il, are pouring everything into them.



Kim Young-kwang, a 40-year-old goalkeeper who broke the chain of three straight losses with a godly save, tells the team atmosphere.



[Kim Young-kwang / Seongnam Goalkeeper: I think I focused on the thought of banging my head in the goal post and dying if I eat this goal.

I was able to really concentrate when I saw the placard.] Not only



Seongnam, but also K-League fans from all over the country contributed with one mind, and an elementary school fan even held a one-man protest in front of Seongnam City Hall.



[Nickname 'Black Magpie': Don't think negatively about the club and would appreciate it if you could think of a way to run it together.]



Seongnam national team striker Hwang Ui-jo also appealed for support for his former team, while the players depended on their fans. We are talking about hope.



[Jung Kyung-ho / Acting coach of Seongnam: I am at the bottom, but I would like you to watch what kind of typhoon this butterfly effect will become when the season is over.



[Kim Young-kwang / Seongnam Goalkeeper: Seongnam FC's fans are the biggest strength.

Please be with us and always protect us.]
