K League 1 Jeju SK will play on the ground again this year with red camellia flowers on its chest. As a Jeju-based club, it is a move to commemorate Jeju April 3, a painful history of the region, and to publicize its spirit.

Jeju said on the 1st, "We will wear a uniform with a 'When the Camellia Patch' on the occasion of the April 3 victims' memorial day at the 6th round of the K League 1 2026 between Bucheon FC1995 and Hana Bank at 2 p.m. on the 4th at Jeju World Cup Stadium."

According to the club's announcement, the camellia patch uniform contains the meaning of reconciliation and co-prosperity to honor the souls of numerous provincial residents who were sacrificed during the military conflict and crackdown in 1948.

Camellia flowers have established themselves as a symbol of Jeju's April 3 starting with painter Jo Goo-bae's series "Camellia Flower Jida" in 1992. Jeju has been carrying out various memorial activities every year, starting with the relay campaign "Please put camellia flowers in April," which was launched in 2018 to mark the 70th anniversary of the memorial day. In particular, since the 2021 season, camellia patches have been attached to the chest of the uniform every April to promote the history of April 3 nationwide.

In this match against Bucheon, Jeju will also hold a silent tribute to the victims before the start of the game. It is a will to sympathize with the pain of the community and spread good influence beyond simple sports games.

As a professional team based in Jeju, we deeply sympathize with the pain of April 3 and want to play a role in promoting it through the medium of soccer, a Jeju official said. "The goal is for our club and the K-League to become beings that lead to positive changes in society as a whole."
