Some Daegu football fans criticized Mayor Hong Jun-pyo, telling him to think about improving the performance of bottom-placed Daegu FC, while criticizing the Football Association’s executive team, including Chairman Chung Mong-gyu.

Mayor Hong, who responded, said, “It is impossible for the city club to improve its performance due to poor funding. We must be satisfied with just being in the first division,” and emphasized that Daegu FC is doing well but by surviving in the first division.
He continued, “I am not involved in the management of Daegu FC’s games at all and only support them,” and added, “The management of the club is run entirely by CEO Cho Gwang-rae, so please don’t criticize.”
