Jeong Seung-won (28, FC Seoul) flipped the stomachs of his former team, Daegu FC.

FC Seoul won 3-2 against Daegu FC on the 29th in the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025 Round 6' held at Seoul World Cup Stadium. Seoul, with 11 points (3 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss), jumped to 2nd place. Daegu (2 wins, 1 draw, 3 losses, 7 points) is in 6th place.

Seoul took the lead with a penalty kick goal by Jesse Lingard but fell behind 1-2 after conceding consecutive goals to Yoshino and a politician.

In the 45th minute of the second half, Jeong Seung-won scored an equalizer with a volley. Excited, Jeong ran towards the opposing Daegu supporters and performed a provocative celebration by placing his hands over his ears. It was a celebration conscious of the jeers from the Daegu fans.

As the players from Daegu also got excited, the players from both teams collided. A bench-clearing brawl seen in baseball occurred. Seoul players, including Kim Jin-soo, also tried to stop Jeong Seung-won.

In soccer, there is an unwritten rule not to celebrate after scoring against a former team. Why did Jeong Seung-won do it? It was because he could not part ways amicably with Daegu.

Jeong Seung-won debuted with Daegu in 2016. However, in his later years, there were issues such as not participating in matches due to contract problems. In 2021, there were reports that Jeong violated quarantine guidelines and entered the club during the COVID-19 period. However, this information was revealed to be false facts intended to defame Jeong Seung-won.

Jeong Seung-won is still a painful memory for Daegu fans as he announced his transfer to Suwon Samsung on his YouTube channel in 2022. Consequently, every time Daegu fans see Jeong Seung-won, they jeer at him, and he also revealed his longstanding feelings.

The match concluded with Seoul's 3-2 comeback victory as Moon Seon-min scored the winning goal after receiving a pass from Jeong Seung-won in stoppage time. Moon celebrated the victory with a control tower celebration. It was a great victory for Seoul, but it was a nightmare match for Daegu. Jeong Seung-won recorded 1 goal and 1 assist.

After the match, Jeong Seung-won clarified, "I wanted to show the Daegu fans how much I have grown." However, for the Daegu fans, it was a celebration that could only be unpleasant.

Jeong Seung-won is becoming a major storyline in the K League. Already, the away match of Seoul against Daegu on May 18 is highly anticipated.
