[edit] History
A founding member of the K-League in 1983, the team originally called Yukong Kokkiri has lifted the K-League Championship on only one occasion in 1989.
At the end of 1995 the side moved from the Dongdaemun Stadium in Seoul to the Mokdong Stadium on the western edge of Seoul, as part of K-League's decentralization policy. This policy was carried out due to two reasons. In 1995, Korea was under bidding for 2002 FIFA World Cup. So first reason is that KFA and K-League want to build a soccer-specific stadium in Seoul and second reason is that KFA and K-League want to spread football fever to the provinces. 3 clubs based in Seoul- Yukong Kokkiri, LG Cheetahs, Ilhwa Chunma didn't accept this policy. But Korean government gave eviction order to 3 clubs. But they guaranteed if clubs build a soccer-specific stadium in Seoul, clubs have a Seoul franchise and then return to Seoul. As a result, 3 clubs were evicted from seoul to other cities, then Yukong Kokkiri is moved to the city of Bucheon, a satellite city of Seoul, and was now known as the Bucheon Yukong. But Bucheon din't have a stadium. So they used Mokdong Stadium, Seoul until 2000.
Mid-way through the 1997 season the club rebranded itself as Bucheon SK, and at the start of the 2001 season moved to the 35,545 seater Bucheon Stadium.
[edit] Surprise move to Jeju Island
In 2006, the owners of SK made the surprise decision to relocate to Jeju, renaming the club Jeju United FC.
Following the move, former fans of Bucheon FC began a movement to establish a brand new Bucheon side. The initial goal was to create a team for participation in the 2007 Korea National League season, however they joined the K3 League for the 2008 season.
