From Nam Hwa-ryun in Asan to song requests in Seongnam

Nam Hwa-ryun led the home fans in cheers at Asan’s Yi Sun-sin Stadium on 15 March. Elsewhere on the K League 2 calendar, the place to catch the cheer squad could even be outside the ground after the final whistle.

Who was on the sideline in Asan?

When Chungnam Asan hosted Daegu, NewsPatch photographed Nam Hwa-ryun with the Vitamin Girls. The photographer’s caption names her, a useful place to start if you’re looking for the performer you saw that day.

Half-time at Yongin Mir Stadium

For the Children’s Day fixture against Seongnam on 3 May, Yongin gave the pre-match slot to Yongin University’s taekwondo demonstration team. The cheer performance was on the half-time bill alongside a game where children could identify players from childhood photos. The club did not name individual dancers.

Who were the half-time guests at Ansan and Incheon?

After partnering with the city cheerleading association in 2025, Ansan Greeners booked Rebirth All-Star for 13 July. The programme gave the group two appearances, outside the stadium and again at half-time.

For their 6 April 2024 fixture against Jeju, Incheon United advertised a half-time performance by the children’s cheer team 지니어스. Both clubs named their guests in their matchday notices.
