The fall of a ‘famous soccer family’… Player Exodus Fire Jippina
“I’m trying to forget the shock somehow, but it’s not easy.”
A comment like this was recently posted on a post on the official social networking service (SNS) account of the Suwon Samsung Bluewings professional soccer team. This is the disappointment expressed by fans as the final round of 'Hana 1Q K League 1 2023' held on the 2nd ended in a 0-0 draw against Gangwon FC, confirming relegation for next season. The general consensus is that this reaction is not incomprehensible, as the unprecedented relegation in the history of the famous Suwon club caused a tremendous sense of loss. The abandoned cheering flags around Suwon World Cup Stadium, the home stadium, clearly represented the dejected feelings of the fans.
Shocking demotion… Possibility of 'large-scale transfer'
The brilliant history of Suwon, which produced stars in the 1990s and 2000s such as Seo Jeong-won, Ahn Jeong-hwan, and Ko Jong-soo, and won the championship trophy several times with the support of Korea's top companies, contrasts with this pointless downfall. The charm of soccer is that it is called a 'drama without a script' and the result of the game cannot be predicted, but relegation is always the 'worst moment of life' for players and fans.
In the future, problems due to large-scale transfers of players are expected in the management of the club. There are not many players who would welcome ‘second division history’. If we are unable to recruit talent equivalent to the players leaving, a decline in performance next year is as obvious as a fire. With teams seeking promotion, every game is essentially a 'war', so if they don't perform well, they may be stranded in the second division, known as 'hell'. Because of this situation, there is a saying in the soccer world that ‘it is easier to remain in the middle of the first division than to win the second division.’

When did the decline of Suwon begin?
Investment has gradually decreased since 2014, when the management of professional clubs, including baseball's Samsung Lions and basketball's Seoul Samsung Thunders, was integrated into Cheil Worldwide, and those inside and outside the soccer world see this as the starting point of Suwon's decline.
In 2013, when the promotion system was first implemented, Suwon was the K-League's 'No. 1 in labor costs' with a total annual salary of KRW 9.06742 billion. The following year, Suwon lost the lead to Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors (KRW 11.8 billion) and fell to second place (KRW 9.864 billion). Labor costs decreased to 8.7 billion won in 2015, but have fluctuated between 7 and 8 billion won since then, reaching 8.875839 billion won last year, ranking only 8th among the 12 clubs in the first division. This is in contrast to this year's K-League champion Ulsan Hyundai, which nearly tripled its player labor costs over the same period from 6.3 billion won in 2013 to 17.6 billion won last year.
