i support AFC Wimbledon, especially since they are the team i manage in FM 2009 =D basically there are four recognized divisions in the Korean football system. the Top division is known as K-League, the second division is N-League (formerly known as K2-League), the third division is known as the K3 League, and the 4th division is U-League (University teams). but there are no promotion/relegation between the four, with the exception of the N-League champions having the right to be promoted to the K-League if they pay a ridiculous amount of money (forgot how much it is), unlike the English system where they get money when they are promoted. the K-League draws around an estimated amount of 18,000, and unfortunately the crowd difference between the 4 divisions is huge. also it doesn't accurately portray the K-League as many teams can draw 2,000 one week, and the next week, a team can draw 40,000. the biggest rivalry is between FC Seoul and Suwon Bluewings, and FC Seoul is a team based on franchising which is against the views of AFC Wimbledon and Bucheon FC. The K3 League is very exciting as two teams, Bucheon FC and Seoul United are drawing lots of attention. the Korean Football system has an FA Cup like England where all those divisions as well as amateur teams participate in and the winner of the FA Cup has spots to play in the Asian Champions League. Bucheon FC used to participate in the K-League until that unfortunately the club relocated, thus Bucheon FC supporters formed the club and their original plan was to partake in the N-League, but instead had to settle for K3-League. heres some videos for you AFC Wimbledon fans Ultra Hermes (back when the club was in K-League) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hb5XIAmSTL0 Bucheon FC fans at a Korean National Team match protesting the franchising of their club http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6tb5EmsrXE&feature=related Bucheon FC fans http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IFVtKIKISI&feature=related Bucheon FC K3 League goals http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhL_VvuV3Bw&feature=related Bucheon FC K3 League goals 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNYay5olN1c and heres a video to show a bit of Korean Domestic Football the K-League Championship between the heated rivals Suwon Bluewings and FC Seoul Suwon won both legs so they were crowned the champions http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXwtUsE3Fe8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7Reiut-Lg4 the 2nd one has a nice clip of all the fans FC Seoul is in red and Suwon Bluewings is in blue FC Seoul is coached by Senol Gunes (manager of Turkey during their 2002 WC) and Suwon Bluewings is coached by the legendary Bum Keun Cha who played in the Bundesliga and is dubbed as one of the greatest Asian footballers of all time Edited by koreanterp, Jan 7 2009, 08:19 PM.
