Coach Lee Jung-hyo, who expressed gratitude for the support of Suwon Samsung fans every day, showed an unusual performance.

Suwon Samsung won 1-0 in an away match against Yongin FC in the fifth round of Hana Bank's K League 2 2026 at Mir Stadium in Yongin on the afternoon of the 28th. As a result, Suwon Samsung has strengthened its sole lead by recording all five games (15 points) since the opening.

In particular, he showed off his iron wall defense that allowed only one run (nine points) in five games and showed off his side as the No. 1 candidate for promotion.

Coach Lee Jung-hyo smiled wearing blue-and-white glasses presented by fans as he entered the press conference after the game. Director Lee Jung-hyo said, "A fan gave it to me. If I wear this and hold a press conference, I think they will like it more," he said.

"We won five consecutive away games. It is fortunate that there were no injuries in the rough game, but Ko Seung-beom almost got seriously hurt. I think we need to be tested later," he said in his victory speech.

He also did not forget to thank the fans who filled the away seats. Coach Lee Jung-hyo said, "Many fans came to the stadium. You must have seen how the players fought, he said, adding, "The fans must have gained a lot of energy." I'm always grateful to Suwon fans," he said.

He showed a calm response to the situation in which he became the only team in the league to win all five games. Coach Lee Jung-hyo said, "I don't think five consecutive wins mean much. "We should focus on our performance," he said. "We only scored one goal. We have seen improvements," he stressed.

As for Ko Seung-beom, who played his first full season this season, he said, "We still have a long way to go. The player himself will feel the same way, he said, but "Fortunately, his body is getting better, which is a great comfort." The more you play, the more you will have a point of attack or commitment," he said.

On this day, coach Lee Jung-hyo came out with an unconventional lineup. Captain Hong Jung-ho was placed on the bench and rookie center back Ko Jong-hyun, born in 2006, was selected as the starting player. At the end of the second half, when Suwon was leading 1-0, Hong Jung-ho was put in place of Ko Jong-hyun, solidifying his victory. In response, head coach Lee Jung-hyo said, "Ko Jong-hyun continues to improve. Hong Jung-ho and Song Joo-hoon should not be burdened with physical strength. I will try to continue to grow young players," he said, explaining the background of his appointment.

Kim Min-joon's performance, which completely filled the gap between the main goalkeeper Kim Joon-hong's transfer to the national team, was also decisive. After blocking Shin Jin-ho's decisive free kick in the 7th minute of the first half, Kim Min-joon led the team to a scoreless victory by hitting a goal shot in the face of a one-on-one crisis with Yoo Dong-kyu in the second half. Coach Lee Jung-hyo said of Kim Min-joon, "Without Kim Min-joon, there would have been no five consecutive wins. I want to tell you that I won because of you."

The players' sincerity was cited as the reason for the team's strength to endure, which has improved significantly compared to last season. Coach Lee Jung-hyo said, "Suwon players don't lie to anyone in the stadium. Thanks to this, I think I have the energy to endure. "I know how to play for my teammates and team in every game," he said, "I think the players are holding out more with the support and energy of the fans."

He also predicted a head-on breakthrough in his opponents' strategies that will be rougher against Suwon in the future. Director Lee Jung-hyo said, "I don't think it's complicated. If the opponent is rough, we can be rough, and if we are aggressive, we can be aggressive," he said. "The sport of soccer is rough anyway. You can find a way and play dirty," he stressed.

Regarding goal-determining ability, a chronic task, he said, "We can create more opportunities than today. I think it's homework from now on," he pointed out.

Finally, head coach Lee Jung-hyo said, "I think we are responsible for the week of the fans. I will try harder for Suwon fans," he said, concluding the interview.
