Jeju United, a professional football team, will challenge to turn the atmosphere around against Jeonbuk Hyundai during the week.

Jeju will hold its fifth round of the Hana Bank K League 1 2024 against Jeonbuk at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday at the Jeju World Cup Stadium. It is a meeting between Jeju, ranking 10th in the league, and Jeonbuk, ranking 12th, (3 points).

Jeju has lost consecutive games to FC Seoul and Pohang Steelers in the last two games, breaking the trend. It has been sluggish in recent five games with one draw and four losses against Jeonbuk, the opponent it is facing.

Jeju urgently needs to improve its goal-scoring ability. In the previous match between Seoul and Pohang, the team remained silent with no goal. The number of shots was larger than that of the opponent team, but it failed to cut the net. In terms of expected score (xG) per team, the team ranks only 11th in the league with 0.54.

According to the club, Jeju manager Kim Hak-beom is also seeking to diversify offensive routes through active switching play of second-line resources and organic passage in order to overcome the centralized check of forward striker Yuri ahead of the match against Jeonbuk. He also intends to induce fouls by making aggressive way of attack and improve the probability of scoring set piece, which is his strength. "I don't want to disappoint fans at home anymore. I want to make fans happy again through exciting games. Even if my opponent is Jeonbuk in the next game, I will find a way to win. We need to solve this problem. We will try to solve our task well with the players," he said.

To mark the April 3 76th anniversary of Jeju Island, Jeju will hold a moment of silence with camellia patches attached to its uniforms to commemorate the April 3rd victims of Jeju Island, wishing for a truly warm spring in Jeju. Camellia flowers are the symbol of Jeju's April 3rd anniversary. Starting with artist Kang Se-bae's April 3rd series "Camellia Flower Jie" in 1992, camellia flowers have become a symbol of Jeju's April 3 victims.

Jeju is making various efforts to comfort the victims and their families on the occasion of the memorial day for the victims of the Jeju April 3 every year, and to promote the spirit of reconciliation and coexistence. A Jeju official said, "Camellia flowers bloom every year in April of Jeju. As the only professional team in Jeju, we want to sympathize with Jeju's April and promote its role beyond soccer with the provincial people."
