The K-League is living in the era of Ulsan HD. It was in 2022 that we let go of the sadness of '2nd place for many years'. It has reached the top of the K League 1 for the first time in 17 years. Because I endured many years of tears, joy could not be expressed in words. 'Winning is just yesterday's snow.' That's the same old saying as the unwritten rule of the soccer world. Ulsan easily crossed the peak and again. Ulsan is the champion of the K League 1 this year as well in 2023. Ulsan's spectacular coronation ceremony, which opened the door of the dynasty, embroidered its home Munsu Football Stadium on the 23rd. The ending couldn't be better, either. As many as six goals were scored. Ulsan defeated Suwon FC 4-2 in the final game of 'Hana Bank K League 1 2024'.
Ulsan confirmed its victory for three consecutive years early on the 1st. It is the first time since its foundation that it has won three consecutive games following two consecutive losses. She wore her fifth star on her chest in 1996 and 2005. After Seongnam FC (1993-1995, 2001-2003) and Jeonbuk Hyundai (2017-2021), which were corporate clubs, it became the third team to win three consecutive games.

HD Hyundai Senior Vice Chairman Chung Ki-sun (42), the eldest son of Asan Foundation Chairman Chung Mong-joon, also kept his promise. He visited his home stadium last year and shared the joy of the summit for the first time. Vice Chairman Chung turned to the supporters and thanked the fans. Ulsan Hyundai was the last winner of the 2022 and 2023 seasons. I will run with you until I have 10 stars on my chest. We are the champions today.
'Winning Star' added one more. This year, Vice Chairman Chung fully enjoyed 'Festive Field'. He stood side by side with HD Hyundai Chairman Kwon Oh-gap, president of the Korea Professional Football Federation, and Ulsan CEO Kim Kwang-guk to greet the champions. The athletes were presented with a winning medal. When captain Kim Ki-hee received the trophy from President Kwon and lifted it high in the sky, pollen and congratulatory guns danced, and Munsu-beol was 'Football Heaven'. In the meantime, Vice Chairman Chung announced the birth of a new dynasty.
The `winning party' with supporters was doubly moving. The chant of `The regular line' rang out again following last year. Some of the naughty players chanted Bonus to keep their smiles. Vice Chairman Chung grabbed the microphone after being rinsed by the players, saying, Ulsan HD won the championship. I thought I would get used to it if I won three consecutive games, but I can't get used to it. I feel overwhelmed and my heart is heating up. Coach, thank you to the athletes and the Cheoyong warriors who supported us so hard. Please continue to cheer for the history that Ulsan HD will write.

As soon as the greeting was over, another 'gift' flew in. Kim Young-kwon poured champagne on Vice Chairman Chung. He enjoyed the pleasure of the summit with a gesture of 'Do more.
Chung's father, Chairman Chung Mong-joon, contributed to the development of Korean soccer as a leader in the international soccer community beyond Korea. He served as president of the Korea Football Association and vice president of FIFA. Hosting the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup was the work of Chairman Chung Mong-joon. Vice Chairman Chung finally seemed to get to know 'taste of soccer' properly. He was caught on a broadcast camera while watching the game while breathing with the general audience, not the VIP seats.

Ulsan is going to challenge for a bigger stage next year. He will play in the FIFA Club World Cup on behalf of Asia. The Club World Cup will be refurbished next year. It is held on a small scale every year, including continental champions and host countries, and 32 teams participate every four years like the World Cup to determine the best club in the world. The method of progress is the same as that of the existing World Cup. In Europe, 12 teams, including Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid (Spain), Manchester City, Chelsea (England), Bayern Munich (Germany), Paris Saint-Germain (France), Juventus and Inter Milan (Italy), will participate. In Asia, Ulsan and Al Ain (United Arab Emirates) won the ticket after Al Hilal (Saudi Arabia) and Urawa Reds (Japan).
