Background

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. League records indicate that in 1970 Chohung Bank won the Autumn season title and a year later in Autumn 1971 finished runners-up. Their final title was in 1974 when they won the Spring season competition. The club were joint winners of the national cup competition, the Korean National Football Championship in 1973. [2]

The club was disbanded in December 1983 but during its limited 14-year history it was for a short spell in the early 1970s one of the leading sides in South Korea. [3] [4] The club was affiliated to the Korea Football Association.
