Professional soccer club K League 2's Chungbuk CheongjuFC is launching an initiative to create a home stadium that blends soccer with culture and the arts.

Chungbuk CheongjuFC announced on the 5th that it appointed electronic organist Han Ji-yeon as its artistic director ahead of the 20th round of the 'Hana Bank K League 2 2026' home match against Suwon Samsung Bluewings held at Cheongju Comprehensive Stadium on the 1st.

Electronic organist Han Ji-yeon has been active primarily in Cheongju, accumulating diverse stage experiences as both an accompanist and a performer. She also spreads positive influence within the local community by organizing charity concerts hosted by Cheongju City.

A pianist by training, electronic organist Han Ji-yeon performs across various genres including classical music, film scores, and crossover, centering on the electronic organ. Her signature style is creating rich, orchestra-like soundscapes with a single performer.

The electronic organ is an electronic keyboard instrument developed by Yamaha in Japan. With two keyboards, pedals, and hundreds of options, it can produce sounds nearly equivalent to an orchestra even when played by one person. It covers a wide range of genres from classical to popular music, offering diverse musical experiences.

To commemorate her appointment, electronic organist Han Ji-yeon performed two songs during halftime, creating a special stage.

Kim Hyun-joo, CEO of Chungbuk CheongjuFC, stated, "We hope that the home stadium of Chungbuk CheongjuFC will evolve beyond a space solely for watching soccer into a cultural venue where fans can enjoy culture and arts together. Going forward, we will provide even richer stadium experiences to fans through various cultural content."

Electronic organist Han Ji-yeon expressed, "I am deeply honored to be appointed as the artistic director of Chungbuk CheongjuFC. I will do my utmost to help fans who visit home matches create more memorable moments by enjoying both soccer and music together."

She added, "Please show great interest in our future activities, including official support theme songs and other initiatives we will present alongside Chungbuk CheongjuFC."

Meanwhile, Chungbuk CheongjuFC plans to produce various musical content, including an official club theme song together with electronic organist Han Ji-yeon, to bring new joy and special memories to fans.
