Chohung Bank FC was founded on 19 March 1969 by the Chohung Bank, a commercial bank based in Seoul. [1] The club competed in the Korea Semi-Professional Football League which at that time was the highest level league in the South Korean football league system. Many works, banks and military sides competed in the league which was run with Spring and Autumn stages each year.
