The Korean National League was dissolved at the end of the 2019 season meaning that Gangneung City were the final team to finish at the top of the National League table, and Gyeongju KHNP the last National League Champions. All eight teams have no joined K3 League, along with sides from the old K3 Advanced. Promotion to and from K3 and K4 will start as soon as next season but fans will have to wait until around 2023 until the pyramid opens right up and there is movement between K3 and K League 2.
