Gyeongnam, last year's K League 1 runners-up, showed their frustration after the incident took place Saturday, saying their security guards first warned and tried to stop LKP officials from campaigning, but Hwang and Kang's people shoved their way into the stadium without taking off their party uniforms. According to Gyeongnam, their staff explained the league rules to the LKP officials, but they ignored them and kept campaigning in the stands.
