#KLUpod | K League 1 Round 1 Recap

K League 1 returned as did the fans in their droves as record attendances across the country for Korea's top-flight soared. Matthew Binns and Paul Neat look back at all six matches in an entertaining opening weekend and have a number of interviews as well from the mixed zones of Ulsan, Seoul and Daejeon.

K League 1 kicked-off on Saturday 25th Februrary down at Ulsan Munsu Stadium where the Champions Ulsan Hyundai took on FA Cup Winners Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors, before later in the afternoon saw FC Seoul face Incheon United in the Gyeongin Derby (or is it a derby? Listen to find out why) and Suwon Samsung Bluewings against Gwangju FC.
