During a recent AFC Champions League match between Shandong Taishan and Gwangju FC, Shandong fans displayed images of former South Korean president Chun Doo-hwan and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, provoking outrage among Gwangju supporters. Chun Doo-hwan was the military leader responsible for the Gwangju Uprising in 1980, which sought democracy. In response to the incident, Shandong Taishan issued an apology to Gwangju FC. Additionally, the Chinese team announced that it would ban fans involved in the incident. Meanwhile, Kim Jong-un has prohibited North Korean citizens from watching Tottenham Hotspur matches due to the presence of South Korean players, including captain Son Heung-min, on the team. This decision reflects ongoing tensions between North and South Korea.
