Jeonju City had promised to build a new gymnasium by 2026 while continuing to use the existing one after KCC’s move was detected, but KCC unilaterally left.

[Kim In-tae/Vice Mayor of Jeonju: “Even if they relocated, they should have at least shown themselves at the negotiation table with the city of Jeonju, but that itself was completely blocked, which is more embarrassing and unfortunate for the city.”]

Jeonju fans were confused, as the city’s website was temporarily paralyzed.

[Kim Seung-hyun, KCC fan: “It’s a club I grew up with for decades, and I think it’s a shame that it’s gone, and I’m a little angry.”]
