22,519 Fans Fill Jeju World Cup Stadium… Jeju SK vs. Bayern Jersey Costs 109,000 Won

The evening of August 4 at Jeju World Cup Stadium. Citrus-colored bandanas waved all around the stands. According to News1, the crowd at the stadium that day was 22,519 people. On the day the 34-time Bundesliga champions crossed over to the island, the Yudong Coffee and Jeju Shinhwa World MD pop-up stores also held their final day of business. After the match, the focus was not the score but Kim Min-jae, who played only 36 minutes before returning to the bench.

Jeju SK vs. Bayern Result: 2-1, Decided in the First Half

The match was decided in the first half. Felipe Chaves scored Munich's opener in the 11th minute, and 4 minutes later Lee Chang-min immediately answered with Jeju's equalizer. The winner came off the foot of Bastian Asomo in the 41st minute, Newspim reported. There were no further goals in the second half. Jeju, who had played a K League match less than 48 hours earlier, held firm.

Right after the match, Jeju SK manager Sérgio Costa told News1, "It was a difficult match as expected, but we achieved our goal." His own assessment was that the team played well up to the 60th minute given the tight schedule. As of July 27, Jeju SK are 8th in K League 1 with 27 points from 20 matches (7 wins, 6 draws, 7 losses).

Kim Min-jae's Early Substitution at 36 Minutes and the Interview Refusal Controversy

Kim Min-jae (29), who started wearing the captain's armband, was replaced by Tim Binder around the 35th minute. His playing time was 36 minutes. Manager Kompany explained to Headline Jeju, "Because he has to play more than 60 minutes in the upcoming match against Aston Villa, playing him for a long time carried a risk of injury, so we took that into consideration." A match at Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong was scheduled 3 days later.

The problem came after the match. Newsis reported that Kim Min-jae did not take part in the mixed zone interview and left, sparking an 'interview refusal' controversy. Born on November 15, 1996, he joined Bayern in 2023 after stints at Gyeongju KHNP, Jeonbuk Hyundai, Beijing Guoan, Fenerbahçe and Napoli. According to the DFB data center, he has recorded 5 goals in 116 official matches for German clubs.

Jeju SK Special Jersey Priced at 109,000 Won, Citrus Bandana at 20,000 Won

It was the club and a platform that turned the friendly into a sales event. According to Newspim, Kream unveiled 9 official matchday MD items and 3 Kream-exclusive special MD items when ticket sales opened on July 14. On Kream's brand page, the 'Jeju SK FC X Gyulmedal Soccer Jersey' was listed at 109,000 won and the citrus-pattern bandana at 20,000 won (as of July 29, 2026).

At the same time, some search result pages also showed a 10% discounted price of 98,100 won, so the listings were inconsistent. The lowest ticket price started at 95,000 won. Headline Jeju reported that offline sales ran from July 24 through match day at the Yudong Coffee and Jeju Shinhwa World pop-up stores, and that the first 200 buyers of the special jersey got a chance to be selected as escort kids.

As for Kim Min-jae's interview refusal, only reports that a controversy arose are available so far. Kream prices and sales status are updated frequently, so the amounts above are as of July 29, 2026. The salary and transfer fee are also estimates and media tallies, not official announcements. Whether the 22,519 on August 4 will carry over into league stands will be answered by the rest of the season. Pohang, 7th and 1 point ahead, is right in front of them.
