Kiwoom Heroes cheerleader leader Kim Jeong-seok was replaced by Park Seung-geon during the season, sparking controversy among fans over his dismissal. We've compiled his Instagram posts and even the story behind the meat restaurant he runs, 'Galbi Warehouse 1981'!

The fact that Kiwoom Heroes' legendary cheerleader Kim Jeong-seok was suddenly replaced... was a real shock and confusion among fans.

I will explain everything, including why this happened, what he personally revealed, and the story of Galbi Warehouse 1981!

1. Director Kim Jeong-seok, who has been in charge for 12 years, suddenly replaced?

Director Kim Jeong-seok has been the head of Kiwoom's cheerleading squad for 12 years, starting in 2013. To fans, he is not just a leader, but a 'symbol of Kiwoom'.

However , on April 7th, when the season had just started, the news that Vice-Chief Park Seung-geon had been promoted to General Manager was announced through the club's official SNS.

From the fans' perspective, they couldn't help but wonder, "Why all of a sudden in the middle of the season?"

2. Reason for dismissal revealed directly by Director Kim Jeong-seok on Instagram

Director Kim revealed his true feelings through his Instagram.
“There was absolutely no health reason, and I didn’t quit on my own.”

He said that the club told him , "We want a young cheerleading captain," and that he would split the games this season with coach Park Seung-geon and do a handover.

In the end, it was difficult to accept the offer,
He reportedly stepped down, saying, "I cannot stand in front of my fans with a false image."
There are ongoing rumors among fans that this is effectively a dismissal.

3. How did fans react to the dismissal?

Many fans said , “This is not polite,” and “After 12 years together, there should have been a better breakup.”
In addition, there were many reactions that it was too harsh to be notified of the replacement in the middle of the season, rather than before the season.
The club said, “It is not a dismissal, but a result of discussion with the agency.”
I thought that the very term 'young manager' might have been hurtful to Manager Kim.

4. Who is the new cheerleader, Park Seung-geon?

The newly appointed manager, Seung-Geon Park, was born in 1996 and was working as Kiwoom's vice-manager.
In the past, he also served as the head coach of the Busan KCC men's basketball team and the KB Stars women's basketball team.

First of all, the fans' reaction is that there is a comment saying "Young and clean style".
There are also many opinions that it will not be easy to fill the void left by Director Kim Jeong-seok.

5. What’s up with Director Kim Jeong-seok? He’s running ‘Galbi Warehouse 1981’!

Many people are curious about this!
Manager Kim Jeong-seok currently runs a meat restaurant called ‘Galbi Warehouse 1981.’

This is also a hot place that regular fans often visit.
If you go in person, you can often see the manager!

It was an incident that made me realize once again that cheering is not just a simple performance, but an 'emotional bridge' that connects fans and the team .

Rather than nitpicking who was right or wrong, I think it was a shame that the ending was not done in a way that respected the long memories made with the fans.

I also support Director Kim Jeong-seok’s future endeavors.
I hope that new leader Seung-Geon Park will also create a good cheering culture!
