FC Anyang, led by head coach Yoo Byung-hoon, recorded 16 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses in 28 games of 'Hana Bank K League 2 2024'. He became No. 1 in the league and dreamed of promotion. This season's No. 1 ranking in the K League 2 will be promoted to the K League 1 stage next season.
The tide has changed. Anyang bowed 0-1 in succession against E-Land in Seoul and Asan in Chungnam. He took his first losing streak of the season.
The pressure was great. Kim Jung-hyun is unable to play due to stress facial paralysis. Some Anyang players are also known to suffer from stress-related circular hair loss.
Ahead of the away game against Suwon Samsung on the 6th, coach Yoo said, `Kim Jung-hyun had facial paralysis due to stress. When I first went to a nearby hospital, he said it would take about two weeks to block the medicine. I've been to a big hospital. It has been suggested that if the paralysis is not caught in the early stages, the aftereffects may remain. It's an important game, but I had no choice but to take it out. I think it's a serious situation. Not only Kim Jung-hyun, but it is stressful because we have been competing for the lead for a long time. You have to control it well."

Coach Yoo seemed to be in a big shock. He was silent for a while in an official press conference after the game. After a long period of thought, I managed to take my mouth off. Coach Yoo said "Even though it was an away game, many fans came and cheered for us. "I lost. I feel sorry because I lost three games in a row. Should I say it's a bit of a shock. I think the players did as well as they prepared. We lost because of one shortfall. I think I'm not good enough, not the players. He is scoreless in three consecutive games. I think I have no choice but to prepare well and overcome my opponent in the next game. We didn't hit the opponent well. I will thoroughly reflect on myself and make sure to improve through training with the players as it is my lack of ability."
