Jung Kyung-ho, Kangwon FC Coach in K League 1.

[MyDaily = Seoul World Cup Stadium, Reporter Choi Byung-jin] Coach Jung Kyung-ho took up a megaphone at Kangwon FC.

Kangwon lost 2-4 against FC Seoul in the 2025 K League 1 round 34 match at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 26th.

The loss was a blow to Kangwon. They pressured Seoul early, making attacks difficult for them. Kim Gun-hee scored in the first half, and Mo Jae-hyun added a penalty goal early in the second half.

However, from the 27th minute of the second half, Kangwon conceded three goals in seven minutes. Lingard scored twice, Ryu Jae-moon added another, and Chun Sung-hoon secured the win.

After the game, away fans handed Coach Jung a megaphone, not only because of the loss.

Kangwon has shown inconsistent halves recently. The first half is strong, but they falter in the second.

In the match against FC Anyang (Round 32), a 1-0 lead turned into a draw. Against Daegu FC, a 2-0 lead also became a 2-2 draw. In the ACLE against Vissel Kobe, a 3-0 lead ended in a 3-3 draw. Anxiety peaked with the loss to Seoul.

Fans are frustrated, prompting Coach Jung to apologize with a megaphone. He acknowledged fan disappointment and promised improvement.

The second-half issue is clear, but opinions on the megaphone vary. Kangwon, last season's runners-up, are third in the ACLE. A K League official questioned whether criticism is fair given Kangwon's scale.

Seoul's comeback relied on strong substitutes, highlighting Kangwon's foreign player gap. With Gabriel suspended, Kangwon had no foreign players available. An official questioned if a domestic squad achieving this much is commendable, noting it's Coach Jung's first full season.

Coach Jung shared his concerns, stating he loses sleep analyzing games. He highlighted Kangwon's growth from last year's runners-up to this year's Final A. Acknowledging fans' expectations, he committed to better second-half performances and urged unity.
