After being pushed to the brink, Yongin FC's Coach Choi Yun-kyom, who secured a "theater draw," said, "For me and the players, this was a draw that could boost our morale."

In a press conference immediately following the 1-1 draw against Daegu FC in the 14th round of the Hana Bank K League 2 2026 home match held at Yongin Mir Stadium on the 30th, Coach Choi Yun-kyom sighed with relief, saying, "I thought the game would end regretfully after conceding a goal despite playing as intended, but we managed to score a late equalizer."

On this day, Yongin conceded the first goal in the 32nd minute of the second half and struggled to find an equalizer for a long time. However, in the 45th+7th minute of added time, after all seven minutes of stoppage time had elapsed, Lee Seung-jun scored a true "theater equalizer" in the final attack, narrowly escaping a crisis of defeat. Yongin recorded only one shot in the second half, and that single shot led to the priceless equalizer.

Coach Choi Yun-kyom said, "Lim Hyung-jin started his first game today and did his job well. I think he will be a great help to the team in the future," and added, "All other players also held the line well in an organized manner. Thanks to that, I think it became the driving force that allowed us to chase down a draw."

Although Yongin avoided defeat today, they have now drawn three consecutive matches and have yet to secure a win. Coach Choi Yun-kyom stated, "Of course, there is regret over the three consecutive draws," but also noted, "The current team situation is quite difficult. I am only satisfied with the team's performance."

The coach added, "Of course, we need to put in more effort in areas where we failed to win. In fact, early in the season, we adopted an attack-oriented approach to win, which led to many games where we conceded goals, resulting in poor outcomes. At Mir Stadium, I have instructed the team to play in a way that does not lose. I am emphasizing that we should create results with a performance and organization that fans can at least accept."

Coach Choi Yun-kyom, who emphasized that he is finding solace in "the team getting stronger," said, "After the upcoming break, players such as Jardel Silva and Kim Min-woo will return. If we have players who can contribute, we can expect changes in an attack-oriented manner. In the second half of the season, we will do our utmost to create results."
